The only thing I'm not digging is the banner. It just doesn't look right with the table content below it.. Everything else looks great. I think changing banner color to brown might help to match with the other brown that connects?

Well, it's actually a green-ish color, and it doesn't look too good if it's used in a huge area so I don't think that would help D:

Too many bright colors plus they don't really match.

I got the color palette from that colour lovers thing, so I guess I'm not using those anymore xD

not a fan of the colors
also not a fan of the text. it's too much. by too much i been too long. it's not legible to read text in really long stretched out sentences like that. that's why people use columns. text columns would not only make it more readable but also give more structure.

Well, I'm mainly going to use this website to sell things, not as a blog, so there are going to be more picture than just text. But maybe I'll think about adding some columns.

Colour Lovers is great, you just have to pick the right palette. I would suggest looking through the top rated ones. Those are the ones that the most people approved of, so they're most likely good. And even if the color combination is good, that doesn't mean it's going to work with what you're trying to do. Some palettes are more geared for graphics, and sometimes you have to exclude or add a color. It's all trial and error.

Ah, yes, that's true. I guess I just wanted something that had a dinosaur kind of feel. Taking another look at the thumbnail, it looks really bad... lol

Thanks for all your suggestions biggrin.gif.
