First Ever Website - iWeb lol

[Xaixis]

Hey guys!

I have recently been working on a home navigation page on a network server for the family computers (not published to outside web) and this is currently what I have come up with :

Spoiler: Big

I currently dislike it. Since I am using iWebs, and have absolutely NO or extremely minimal html knowledge so I had to solo-rely on photoshop borders and iWeb ease-placement... as that much you can see. It's pretty much what it looks like. The Boxes above "Quicklinks" are search bars to my most visited areas. They all work except for ThePirateBay which is because I think I did something wrong when I copied the source code.

Below are simple links to where I like to go (I have a simple macro in photoshop to make whatever I want.)


Hm... I'm not sure what else to say, I personally dislike it just because it looks... I dun'no, messily organized?
Please help me with this guys, unfortunately I don't know much about HTML so I everything I do will be made into an image and placed =/.

But that aside I'm completely open to your guys suggestions.

I think it looks nice. I'd take the purple flower at the bottom, shrink it & center it so you can read the quick-links better. Maybe scoot the quicklinks a little closer to the middle too. For what it's for, it looks great.

Be Well

Any better?

I'd take away the ship from the search bar (or relocate it), and I'd adjust the text in the top left to match the rest of the typography. The font and colour you have chosen for the quick links is pretty good, but the "Naviagation" text looks a bit "Photoshop Newbie".

It's pretty fail ( in almost every way), but I don't recall my first site to be spectacular either.
I'd say go to http://www.smashingmagazine.com/ and search for site design articles/tutorials, they will really help.
Also http://bestwebgallery.com/ <-- inspiration for web design.

Thanks for the tips Calibre, I'm going to look at the links from archer first and then I will make some adjustments.
