hello, i finally was able to put together my first small profile page about myself. the design i used is redpepper and can be viewed at profile.koloa.info/index.html . the site is pretty bare with basic information and some thumbnails of 2 upcoming projects of mine. in one of my projects i am using nautica05 template. come check them out. any comments would be greatly appreciated. thank you.

The site looks good, simple and attractive. The only issue design-wise is that your title image, "Koloa818" fades to white, whereas your background colour is beige. Make the shadow fade to beige, and then it'll look a lot nicer.

As for the templates thumbnails, they're really well integrated into the site. An added feature for your lightbox, take a look at this script at Dynamic Drive:

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex4/lightbox2/index.htm

It adds "next" and "previous" buttons to the lightboxes, so you don't have to close and re-open the lightbox to see the next page.

I think it looks rather nice.

By the way, I don't know if anyone else thinks this way, but I am on a laptop, and feel the hover on your menu should have a bit more contrast.

But good job, all in all! And good luck!

hi thanks for taking the time to view my site. unfortunately, i decided to go with the terra design last minute. i felt i needed a little more space. i didnt really change much to the template, um basically i dont think i made any changes at all since i thought it looked nice right off the bat =).

I agree... it goes look good! That's one of my favourite designs, I'm using it on my website as well.

@Koloa: Why, thank you. I must add, everything that I've learnt is from OSWD, then OWD, and now here!
