What do you think of my design so far?

[Vitamin Z]

Hi, I'm currently creating a new design for my website, Designers Vault and I'm wondering what people think so. Here's the link:

http://designersvault.net/new/

It's no where near completion yet, but I'm experimenting with ideas. What do you guys thinks so far? Thanks. Oh, and if anyone has any thoughts on what they'd like to see on a website for web designers/developers share your thoughts here :)

In personal opinion i like the design its very abstract. I think the navigation is good too but the right section seems a bit bare. As you mentioned its not reached completion therefore i think work is going great for you :lol:

Thanks for your reply :) I have an updated version which is now located www.designersvault.net . What do you guys think?

I like it, nice concept and looks good. Only bit i don't liek is the footer text, i think it is too big a footer should be small in my opinion.

i dunno man., i think it needs a lot more work. Put some art in it.
It is so plain. Im sure you can think of something artistic onto your
site. Add some pictures..improve the layout., just keep it nice,
smooth and simple.

I'm sorry, but the red has to go.
Try a different shade of red or another color
Here is a site that uses red effectively
