I have recently re-launched Olate (http://www.olate.com) with a brand new design and a revised backend/frontend. The design is very popular and the general view is that it is much better than the old one. I am pleased with it as it has more room to display information, looks nicer and is very flexible. The site is powered by PHP and the layout is fully XHTML/CSS based.
The site was setup to provide free tutorials and articles relating to web development/design and has recently merged with another site to provide free phpBB styles. In addition, I released yesterday a brand new version of a script I've been working on for a few months - LATEdownload v2 (http://www.olate.com/scripts/latedownload/index.php)!
Anyway, can I have any comments, opinions and suggestions to help try and improve the design - anything you think about the site, please post. If you have any ideas for expansion,please also let me know!
Get rid of your repeating background image. It's not cool.
Where is the repeating bg image, I can't see it?
i cant see it now. next time i'll provide a screenshot. ^^

Take a screenshot then :p
I see no background :)
One comment I do have to make is that the site doesn't use valid XHTML code. You have got the XHTML-Strict doc-type in there but it failed to validate to it. I checked it using XHTML-Transitional and it failed under that too. If you are going to bother using XHTML at least make sure it validates
Yes, I could probably make it validate but I haven't had time to sort that out yet.
Well, I'll give my comment AGAIN together with a screenshot with your next update. ^^_^^
