New Design for New Site

I started working on this site that is going to be uMotorize.com and its about engine type stuff. My design is here http://umotorize.netfirms.com/main.html . Let me know what you think.. BTW i only have that page done. None of those other pages are done. And could somebody please assist me in scirpting help?> Im having problems getting this message board to work and thsi image gallery script. Well thanks and let me know what you think about the design.

You have the same problem with web design that I do. Too much open space, even if it is a certain color. I've gotten around that by using gradients, as well as random pictures with gradient overlays (dark red to light red) and then Brightness/Contrast until it looks good. Either that or you can go for a more technical feel and add lines and small text and glows and shapes, which I'm no good at. Like for a blue site, I used a picture of clouds I took. And for a black/grey one I used a picture of ripples on water with a gradient overlay (black to grey) and it looked alright. Also, try not to get caught up in the layer styles when you're making a header. Maybe make a good logo and then just write your title in an appropriate font, with one style, like drop shadow or a small stroke.

But all of that is just my opinion - the layout looks good. Three things I would suggest is to: add a bar at the bottom, too, with your name and Copyright and the links again. Number two - make the font smaller. And numero tres - center those links.

Also your sig is a little on the tall site but I'm not really complaining, just pointing it out.
