Please review my GAA site

dartsfan

Hi,

I am currently working on the design of a site for my GAA club. See attached screenshot for my design so far.
Although I think this is a neat and clean design, I still think it lacks something, and perhaps is a little "bare".
I am new to web design and am just doing this in my spare time. Ideally, I'd like to work with what I have so far rather than doing a re-design.

What do people think can be done to add a little more "flair" to the site?



Thanks

Firstly, you can move the header up the page a bit more.

Your nav is centred in the centre.

Your sponsors could be logos as opposed to 'boring' text.

Fixtures/events has some scope for a bit of typefacing/link colouring.

The main content area can be spruced up with photos and some snappier text. (You can omit Welcome, it's implicit so not necessary)

The rhs could have some content feeding in from your Twitter or FB.

I would add to that, that you could move the side navigations/boxes more out to the edges and maybe make them a little wider. Maybe about 150 to 190 pixels wide.

As tricky D mentioned, the twitter feed is a good idea. You can get html code for the feed from here http://twitter.com/about/resources/widgets (Very easy to set up the feed widget)

All in all, not bad for a first try at web design but if you really want to spruce things up a bit and get to know a bit more about using html, you should spend a few hours searching google for, and going over a few tutorials. But most important thing to remember (imo) is to keep it as basic as you can and build up from there.

Anyway, I wish you the best with your website. You managed to get both things I like in there.... GAA and Boston!! Dam! its been a while since I hit the Sligo bar off Davis Square! good times!

Should read 'Your nav bar is not centred in the centre. It's off to the left a bit'
