All comments welcome!

This design is pretty original in my opinion...

1) On the left side menu you have the curved table corners. The only problem is they aren't really curved. They're straight lines that are jagged. Make them realy curves. It'll look better.

2) I believe that the line that goes into the word 'Dream' should come out on the other side out of the word 'UK' instead of 'network.' It looks weird the way it currently is.

3) Again about the menu. I think the top should align with the top of the banner ad.

Love the design. I also think it is very original.

It seems like it needs a little color variation though. Its all light blue. Even if you incorperate a darker blue in there. Since it is all that light blue it kind of turns into grey for me.

Maybe a mouseover.(optional for color)

Other than that I really like it. The weighting isn't even but works the way it is designed. I kinda like the way the logo is. It goes blue to blue. Remineds me of a battery or something.

Forgot something. I looked at it once more and that banner is getting to me. I basically tell this to everyone. On the first page I don't like to be drawn to a big ugly banner than makes me search for the sites logo. Just my two sense. (Get it two posts two cents) Ok don't laugh.

Very nice.

I agree with Justin - the line should come out after "UK" and the menu should be aligned with the banner.

Use blue for the titles of the content "Welcome to DreamStream UK"

The navigation area is a little cluttered. It makes reading a little hard, and doesn't look good at all.

It looks like you need more cellpadding because the title text is flat against the border, this doesn't look too good.

I think the content tables need rounded corners, that would be a big plus.

Overall, great design. I really like it!

Hi,
Okay. I've aligned the top of the menu with the banner and rounded the corners. I've also sorted the links a bit! (made the network sites alphabetically listed etc).
I left the colours because I decided I like them like that!

I decided to leave the logos how they are, I think I prefer it with the lines like that!
I've also made some little changes to the main content text. Like all the titles are Navy and not bold anymore. Does that look better.
Also, I've got the little nav bar at the bottom. What do you think about that? It will be on every page. Do you think it's useful/worthwhile?

Cheers

The bottom nav is nice, but a little cluttered. It is worthwhile because the user will most likely be at the end of the page when they are done reading it, so it is convienent to have links for them there.

The titles are very easy to read.

I still think that the background of "Welcome to DreamStream UK" needs to be a blue color wiith the text a light color.

Good Luck!

Hmmm...

1) The menu still looks unorganized to me. Why not give it a little more room on either side, and add bullets. I think the bullets will make it look less unorganized.

2) I also still think the tops looks weird with the lines not on the same level. Since it looks weird when it's comin' out of the 'K', then why not make the line on the left side go under the logo, and then go into the word 'the'?

Well it looks very good. There is just a lot of unused space on the page. The thing is centered in between at least 100 pixels of space on each side which are white. Must be my damn 1024*1280 or whatever I have it at.

- I didn't realize that was a banner. I thought it was part of your site.

- Nice logo thing.

- I agree with Justin that the menu does look very unorganized. I'm not really sure what it is but it just looks unorganized. (sure that helped a lot)

I really don't see anything wrong so I'll stop wasting your time now and let you read the next post (if there is one).
