Default CSS Zengarden

I'm currently trying to create a design for a CSS Zengarden site to improve my CSS skills and also to try and push myself design wise. I wanted to do something modern and funky with a kind of music/electro twist . I think I'm going to do some kind of graphic for the bottom right corner and have rounded corners there as well. But what do you think of it so far?

I think you're definitely on the right track there! Finish the bottom and post it again so can see the full experience

Overall I think its great, I especially like he header designer and the gradient background. My only concern would be that the site is very narrow so you wouldn't have much room to add stuff if you wanted too.

Even though money making may not be your priority for this site I think its always good to plan out where you could add banners and such to a design.

I would make a list of possible thing you may want to add later like plugins and where they would go.

I see what you mean. But this site is going to be completely static. It's for the CSS zengarden project where designers try to show what can be achieved with CSS design. You are not allowed to change the HTML but only the CSS. Head over to www.csszengarden.com for more info.

I've always wanted to do this, but it looks so hard. I wouldn't know where to start. The design looks amazing though, hope to see it on the site.
