Site reshape, need helpful hints please

Heya all

I'm trying to reshape my website a bit and worked out some ne
designs.

I'm basicly a developer so I don't have wonderful imagination and oteh
stuff that good graphists usually do have...

I've made a logo and a general layout and a basic color scheme.

It would be nice to have your advise on all of these parts, what shoul
be changed / added / removed etc

I have also made some flat and some beveled layouts and I'd like you t
choose which one looks better

Here are 4 JPEGS of the new layout ...

ok, but the 'design' means nothing without content.

good start - you'll fit it just fine round here.

Get the content/navigation sorted and the 'best' design will choose itself.

A picture of your site is pretty useless, except from an artistic point of
view (*). What is it's URL?

(*) from an artistic point of view those images look rather impressive.
However I would really like to see the real page operates. With all due
respect I'll bet it falls apart if I change my font size :-)

Cheers

No, it won't fall apart ...

There are several design approaches, one of them is creating a pictur
of your website (smallest possible size : ie for 800x600) and the
converting it to a web page.

It has already be done, but I want to choose between different kind o
things before converting it to a web page each time again and again ;

This sentence kind of implies that you haven't heard of design with CSS. If
you're designing with tables, then you'll have to build again and again, but
if you do it the proper way then you'll just have to modify the things you
change. See < http://www.csszengarden.com >.

Please stop posting quarter megabyte pictures of your site and supply the
bloody URL.

Well, you can sort of.

Compare those HTML files. The only difference between those files is the
the <link> to the CSS file.
