"Website redesign, What do you think?"

Hi,
I've redesigned http://taka-q.port5.com and was wondering what you all think, and whether it works in all browsers.

Cheers for you input.
S.A.

I have found some colours that look good, but I'm not sure how to impliment them. Can I ask how you apply a new colour to my site Tyla?


Cheers very mucha.
S.A.

Cheers Tyla.

Nice shade of blue, have used it often


Do you use fireworks at all? If so, there's an extension available form macromedia exchange which allows firework to choose complementary colours based on the primary colour of your choice. Very Handy. There's also an excellent website too for colour, when I find the link I'll post it for you.

To be fair, there was a time when I would rip peoples' work to shreds, a time when I would be mercilessly cruel, a time when not even the newest of newbies were safe from my wrath.

And that time was when I could be arsed to wait more than 10 seconds for a page to load.

Ill give it a go, thanks!

And calm it people. Tyla's job is webdesigning, so I respect his opinions over others as he makes a living off it. On the other Hand it can be quite harsh when you've spent time making a site to have it torn up. But I can cope, I did ask, and its nice to know were I'm going wrong!

Silly thing I sometimes use for inspiration to match up colours, goto www.dulux.co.uk. And use the MousePainter, Its for visualing rooms with colour schemes but once you've selected the room etc. on the menu theres something called Colour Mixing. Find your colour and then click coordinate colours and it'll suggest matches. Not always perfect, but better than nothing. :)

I have found a colour that works (a blue #333366) but I prefer it how it is, so I think I'm gunna leave it.

I have try alost every colour on the swatches panel and the all look very bad. I'll try the RBG levels and stuff and see what happens.
