Website Design

Before creating my website i first created a mock up to experiment with how i wanted it to look and to check it fitted in with the 'rules' of a website such an not too much white space etc. I found creating my mock up quite easy considered I don't really know how to use Photoshop. Once i'd created it i asked my lecturer for feedback, he was quite happy with it but suggested having a more colourful background or even an image, just to make it less plain. I havent actually done that yet, I need to find a background that I like.. but here is my mock up anyway..
