DISREGARD! D:

I didn't know that was a template site, I thought you stole that template

Honestly its very plain and the music :dead: it basically scream's "LEAVE THIS PAGE!" music belongs on youtube and sites made for music and nothing else take it off the main page and stick it under a link called "Soundtrack". Also please for the love of god people stop using site generating websites.... there is nothing worse then the generic non-validating useless code they generate here ill give you some ways to learn to design websites. I've been coding about 8 years professionally for about 4 and the best resources that I still use to this day at work sometimes are these.

If you want to use Paint.NET then you'll need the .NET frame work if you don't have it you can get it here on my website don't worry its not a virus I got it from the Microsoft website its the redistributable package I am making a piece of software that uses .NET framework.

In my opinion your site is very bland, not much to remember by the first page, also I suggest you take the music off of the first page.

People have posted that you generated the site template, I suggest you learn some HTML and CSS, it's much more customizable and you can give your site a very unike look to it.

very bland and default... it doesn't stand out, it's missing contrast! oh and also... if you must include the music... place the player it in the sidebar, under the menu.

Thanks a lot for your responses, specially to darknesscloud, if you critizice give some solutions and that's what he (or she?) did.
I'll get more into web desing but this was a good beginning I suppose.
Thank you all people.

I personally believe that it is always a bad idea to embed music into a website, unless that is the purpose of the site; even then, it is best not to have it autoplay but let the user choose if they would like to listen to it.  Honestly my first thought upon clicking the link was " :brow: stop the music."

Like I said, that doesn't mean you can't have the music, but perhaps create a music section, where the user can choose the track; but otherwise they don't have to listen to it.

As far as design goes, it is rather "default" as darknesscloud said.  I think that you would be better off with the darker red headings (like the homepage) instead of the brighter headings (like the other pages), or maybe use the blueish color that is used for the navbar hover images.

I'll be honest about this one...

I think it is too dark with dark text, the pages are boring and it doesn't attrack my attention.

I would broaden the color setup a little more and make it a little more creative.

This page looks like 5million other sites out there and that makes it unoriginal.

It is tidied up very well and everything is organized nicely. Just needs a few touch ups.

Sorry if it sounds mean, just stating the opinion.

It does look unoriginal but it's simple and it works. You're not going to get any design recognition for the site but as far as function goes I have few complaints.

The main complaint is the lack of contrast of the primary text colour. It's too close to the background colour, I can read it but I think my reading efficiency is at maybe 60%. Remember that different screens render colours and shades differently, so just because it's sharp on your screen doesn't mean it's sharp on mine.

Number 2 of 3, The red subsection titles are way too bold, it doesn't go well with the palette you chose. Not a difficult fix.

Lastly I don't think you should be putting your website's name on a wallpaper someone else made. If I was presented with something like that I'd just go download the original image. I don't think anyone wants a Lord of the Rings wallpaper that has 'www.LOTR-unlimited.com' plastered over it.

But yeah. It works, and doesn't look borkend. There's nothing flashy, but its a solid place to start. I commend you if you have for the most part coded this yourself.
