website critique Options

I wanted to see have my "chopped up I guess": http://www.ccudesigns.com/

Today I was told that it reminded someone of a MySpace page. I really trying to come out of the Webpage habit, but it is how I started out and what I do best. Switching over to websites has been very hard. I thought that I upped it, but now I want redo it, but unsure what would make it look less like a webpage and more like a website. I do not have Flash or Dreamweaver, so I do everything in Photoshop and do the coding myself.

So, yeah take it away. I am a student still so critique is always a good thing. I just look at some designers website and I want something like that, but I guess practice makes perfect!

I have already been told I should: uss xhtml and change the green on my website

It reminds me of contemporary art; everything about this layout is blaring at me because it's so neon-like. The colors don't mix well. Have you thought about experimenting with different shades of blue and green? Or just orange and green? You should pick a layout style that is easy on the eyes of your audience and that it doesn't suit just only you.

This certainly isn't the most appealing layout to me, especially if you're planning on using it as a website to host designs, or something or another. You should fill up all of the white space with a softer color.

The font is also blaring and harsh, I would change the font to a more subtle, less goofy font.

I see what you mean. I am so use to designing my myspace and not having to consider others. I need to be more "user friendly". I love bright colors and cute fonts and shapes, but that of course does not work for everyone. I guess I should keep my personality strictly to me personal webpage. Oddly thinking about it I have become much more versatile with my webpages. I have mastered my webpages but, not my websites. I spend a lot of time of my webpages and I guess with wbesites and still learning to become more cleaner and conformed but still show my personality. I know I can have a much better layout, i can do a much better layout.... it is all about just taking my time and perfecting it
