No offence the colours of the site are not briliant and contrast to much.

Try looking at this type of style for a games site
http://random-game-design.awardspace.com/e107/news.php

blade everything on that last one looks nice except that god awful background.

i never got round to replacing that, but that is the type of modern, game design i think you are looking for.

well this site is for less of the game design aspect, and more on the application, and art aspect of design.

then maybe you are thinking of a more modern design like my new one.

that would be more like it
i got a little bit of an idea from this site:
http://getafreelancer.com/
with the nav bar right of the logo on the top.

yer, but i think the background image for the nav bar doesn't look very proffessional , maybe the title image should go across the page to where the nav bar ends, and then the nav bar at the side or under the title image. and the page is to plane being just b & w with two images. There is a lack of colour.

the hardest part is that I dont have a lot of content that I want on there so its hard to fill up the whitespace

then don't have the massive bit of whitespace and improve the layout by using a mixture of images and text.

I would also advise writing the code your self and not using a generator <!-- Trellian --> (deifnetly if you are offering to create sites)
Use CSS aswell to layout the page.

if you are going for that type of design then itbgames might be the one you need to get reference from
