....with lots of experience have a look over my initial site design and give me some input? Its just the design, the sites not created yet, and Ill pay up and post it in the site review section when its ready, but for now would just like another opinion on the design :) And Im rambling.....

Let me know and Ill PM you the link :)
 
My only comment is the 'y' in the 'Fill Your Pants' top header looked like a 't' to me
I agree the back to front y does end up looking a bit like a t.
I'm not 100% on the background, at first glance it looks nice but then spending any time looking at the screen and I start finding that I'm noticing that more than the site and the design being partly hidden by the homepage makes it look incomplete and out of place. I think something softer and utilising other colours from your homepage would be better instead of the floral.

I love the strap line.

I have RayB to thank for that little number! :D

Thanks for your comments both, yes Im decided on changing the font actually of the header, so the 'y' will be altered.

As for the background, yes I agree it does stand out an awful lot. I do love it though :(

Theres a few alterations we'll be making, but in general I can't help that feeling that 'something is missing' but I can't put my finger on what :|

In my opinion, the text could do with being the same shade green as the background, and the background being the same shade as the text. That said, they maybe the same colour, but opitically they appear dark when light is required and too light for when darker would be good. The important part doesn't leap out like the bit that, er, should blend into the background. The vivid green frames around the products, seem to be too bright, when everything else has a matt look to it, or is that just me?

That said, the structure of the design is nice, just the balance of the colours need to be changed.

As for the background - I'd keep it but knock it back as a tint so it does not look a stronger colour that the page

I did wonder that myself, more of a watermark type effect rather than being so bold, it would be good if it was possible to get the parts of the floral design to be coming out and around the homepage box rather than being cut off by it as well, just because then it looks less like the homepage has been place on the background pattern.

Has one of the best backgrounds that works with the active area of the site, in my opinion.
