Template design, need your opinion please

Good day everyone,

I would be happy to get some feedback about a template I finished:

iiGFX | Web Templates - ExtremeTech-v1

What do you like what you dislike...etc

Cheers!

It is a really busy design, I would lose all the design/gradients below your header and simplify it. The header alone and the blue gradients give a techy feel, everything else is flashy and a distraction to page content. The page is in dire need of some white space.

Please forgive the hastily masked out area.

I personally like this a lot but I do also agree with amusekd

I personally really really dislike it. It's far too heavy, and monotone, and looks like a 1995, sliced table, gamer portal kind of site. I think—as a website—this doesn't work. There's just far too much and it doesn't really look amazing.

I have to agree with the others, there is far too much decoration and does not appear to be enough room for the more important stuff - the content.

As highlighted in the attachment...

Every comment helped, thanks a lot guys and girls, especially the ones with some description on the reason. I made it like that cause I did a design like that once before and it did get many lovers for it so I am pretty much following the likes and dislikes around different communities.

More opinion is a plus to me.

I thought the color was heavy but It was pratical. I don't think every website should have white because we are made up of colors. The human eye is capable of the largest gamut of colors, lets use some of them, after all why are we simulating paper with white? Because we are placing text on top of it? Does content always have to be text, what about video ??

printtek.com] This site uses color to help uses select certain information. See the templates section, very interesting.

ADVERTS - NOT VISIBLE TO MEMBERS

My gosh Richard (who is a girl?) that site is no better.
The reason to use dark text on white/light background as history has proved it to be the easiest surface to read on, as it offers the best contrast.
Yes implement video, but only if you can implement it to a high standard
