Alright, so I've been asked to re-design a website which I created a few months ago.. I was a newbie then and sucked completely at web design, I need a few ideas to spice up the page.

Well, not a few, I want to re-do it all and create more backend features for the band members.

I've got that, if you want to use it. The coding is a little ****** up, but nothing that can't be fixed.

It's way to plain.

Thanks, but I really want to try designing my self, and not really the color scheme I am aiming for, but I like it :P

I'm not asking for feedback, I'm asking for ideas for a new design.

You'd really want to redesign the whole website, I'd recommend searching around Google for the "top 20 website designs" or something, you can get a lot of inspiration from them :)

I am, thanks for the top 20 thing that should most likely inspire me, Oscar (band founding d00d.) said that he likes Muse's website, www.muse.mu but I can't code actionscript but I imagine that I should use a color scheme like that.

I've already decided to make it less plain, and it should be a little obvious.

Yeah, true.

Why do you fail to use padding? On all your sites the margins = 0 and padding = 0, makes it look crap.

1. Adding padding on that center box
2. Make it transparent, like 5% transparent (95%)
3. Center that background on the page, don't repeat it.
4. Add a black background on the body

Follow that, and post the new url.

Why do you fail to use padding? On all your sites the margins = 0 and padding = 0, makes it look crap, adding a margin on that center box, change the white border to a nice dashed border, and you'll be getting somewhere.

Also make that box a little transparent, not too much to show off that background.

Center the background on that page, and don't repeat it.
Keep your money, I'm going home.

LOL, so she dumps you cause some people die, usually thats the time they need you the most.

Take my advice on that layout, and you'll see something half decent.

Sorry, but your advice is not helping as I am making a completely new layout. Without boxes, because it's "your style".
