This layout is based off of this tutorial.
All I did was follow the steps and change some of the steps up a bit to see what I could do with the tutorial and BANG! I had this layout.

I know that there is one spot on the top-right hand corner that I need to fix but I'm not going to because this is only a test layout to see what you guys/gals think. I'm going to make my own similar to this but not with any of the same colors. I'll start working on it once I finish this one's coding.

Preview.

Screenshot:


Is there anything you guys/gals don't like that I should change for my next layout?

NOTE: I'M STILL WORKING ON THE CODING SO IGNORE THE COLORS OF THE CONTENT HEADERS, TEXT, ETC.

Yes, you need to change your coding. Before you make your site live, you really shouldn't have position:absolute anywhere in the code. And it's also bad that the whole website is one image. And none of the boxes are aligned either. Just make the bottom right box line up. But it's good I guess. I think the tutorial one looks better. But it's good. O and learn how to make it center already! It's not hard, and it looks terrible when it's not. Its only center on your computer/screen resolution.

I'm glad you took my advice and tried to mimic another site. But unless you want to look bad, I would make your own design.

O and you didn't do what they did with the text on the header, and that text kinda pulls the whole thing together.

Okay, so should I make them bigger or smaller? Should I choose a different blue or what? Please explain.


Figure it out yourself.
