New to web design, how long should I plan on second site taking? - Page 2

I think its a good start too, but way to many drop shadows. I would possibly remove all the drop shadows or make them way more subtle. The two big ones on the side draw too much attention. Also consider working on the content area.

You don't really need that second box around the content because u already have the content within the site layout and on a white background. Maybe you could extend the text so it goes from side to side of the site and then you wont need that second box around the text.

What do you think? I'm always open to constructive criticism, so don't hold back.

And thanks to everyone who offered guidance for this first web project!

I like it! Only thing I would change is the reflection on the phone-number. Your site looks like polished and nice chrome, but the reflections drag it down to look more like cheap gloss. Reflections have their use (apple are to this day still of the few who can pull it off), but it seems like it's used as an instant-kewlness-effect by waay to many designers these days. be aware of that. Else than that you get four thumbs up!
