Comments on Website Template

I'm not much of a designer but I decided to have a bash at building my own site for a 'little' project. Please tell me what you think, likes and dislikes etc. At the moment it is just vector art in Paint Shop pro but when it is done I plan to make it into a smarty template.

At the moment it is about 800 pixels wide but what is the best to deal with scaling a design like this. This is a first attempt so don't be too harsh!

Looks good to me very professional.

It's a little too dark for my liking but a good design.

i reckon you should keep the width fixed, for a site like this, but center it...

liking the header, but the content in the middle could do with some spicing up, maybe some corporate imagery... im not sure how your flower vectors on the side relate to the site at all, but you could probably change your package names to reflect the identity of your web site.

I agree that fixed width is the way to go and I also take your point about the flowers, i just found them when browsing around istock and thought they looked cool. I'll try to find something more appropriate. suggestions on how to spice things up are much appreciated.

Do you have any links to sites with similar layouts done in css? I dont really have much of a clue about coding it up.
