As you can see no where near done but I'm 100% not happy with the footer.

How can I improve it?

The colours needs to be dark blue, black and white, +rep to constructive comments.

I like the footer, you are clearly getting better at making layouts. Maybe add some indents or something.

I'm no designer so..

Thank you. Indents?

Hmm, I think that looks good IMO. I disagree with you for it being cramped but I will redo it anyway. Thank you!

Don't worry, the navigation is going to be web 2.0. :P

I will google web 2.0 to "re-implement" other peoples ideas into my own.

Thank you!

My signature? Holy **** I never even noticed!

It's not the "main" navigation, it's the footer navigation. 9/10 hosts have it.

Much better Danny, you are certainly improving.

I'm a big fan of the old school web hosting layouts as the new ones seem too flash for what they need to be. I'd quite like to see the banner and main content done to give me a clear indication of where you could take this layout. Thus, my comment being much more meaningful.

The footer is fine, I love the gradient. However, remove the gradient from the copyright text and it will look better :)

Well done.

Thank you. I'll have post a new version later tonight after my sesh on COD4 PC online -hint to those who want to play me in tdm hc-.

I think I'm going to struggle on the banner most of all.

I have no idea how I am going to do that part of the layout.

I have an idea with the nav but that's about it.

I dislike the dark theme of the layout. I think it looks depressing and also, it doesn't look modern, where is the bang? It's just my opinion though..

Then what colours would you recommend?

Be specific when you refer to the "bang".

The thing I mean about the bang is, where is the wow factor of the layout? Something that makes you think this company is unique, they look good, etc.

The layout just doesn't seem inviting, it's not really welcoming. It makes me think of "keep out, it's dark and gloomy in here". It needs more colour, more light.

One again, it's my single opinion, other's obviously like it.

Done.

Now just the "top top" part.

Live support will go there I suppose.

You need to fix the gradiant right underneath the nav, it looks really dodgy...

The colour looks a little off, try using a different colour on the grad, if it looks worse then put it back xD
