This is the site I'm working:
[url]www.Resources-Here.com[/url]
I think it looks shit.
How could I make it better and what should I do with the banner?
I'm no artist :(
I'm now using Photoshop to create nice looking layouts.
Im no expert but here are some of my thoughts:
The colors clash horribly with the background
Dont use impact as a font
gradients aren't very good unless used right
The background is really bad

I will be posting beginner tutorials to get you started in development. including PHP, HTML, C++ and flash. I will also briefly cover game design and how to get into it.[/quote]
I wouldn't be giving anybody tutorials in HTML seeing as you can't even create a good looking web page.

That wasn't meant to be offensive but truthful.

The sites aim is to get people into web design. I'm not that good to be honest but I know PHP pretty well.
- Horrible background
- Horrible fonts.
- Ugly gradients
- Title is bad
- Horrible choice of colors.[B]
- Offering services that you need to use yourself (Please, for the love of god don't try to write tutorials, it looks like you just started)[/B]
- File uploading, judging by what I see a simple injection will take over your website.
- Obvious copy pasting of code on the PHP testing page (button says login?).
I'd say sorry for being so aggressive sounding, but there's no other way I can put these points over to you.
Pretty much what PieClock said, you really need to look into other more friendly designs. Get a color scheme that looks good and works well for what you're doing.
Also, learn languages properly.

I told you they suck lol the php part wasn't a copy and paste, it used to be a login screen but I changed it about and forgot to change the button.
Another honest truth. This site will fail, because there are a million sites like this already and the good ones are much better than yours. (w3schools.com).
Check out some websites that display other good websites for inspiration. The only problem with that, (and I've been here) is that you may make a site that you think looks as good as another one you've seen when it actually looks terrible. And only later you may look back and realize how bad it looks.
Right off the bat, before your shitty graphics and typefaces, work on your colour schemes. You need something that meshes. try Kuler. It will at least give you a set of colours to use and stick to that don't look like ass.

Use Kuler or use [URL]http://colorschemedesigner.com/[/URL]
Kuler is better if you use it right
Wow, how about you just get a CRM system like Drupal, Wordpres, e107?

CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management, that's a completely different type of software. CMS is the acronym you were looking for.

so to encourage people to get into web design you have an ugly website?
well that's a... different approach
[QUOTE=Heroin;22059132]Wow, how about you just get a CRM system like Drupal, Wordpres, e107?[/QUOTE]
Customer relationship management? More like content management system (CMS).

Thanks :)
[QUOTE=SilverDragon619;22064141]I've shit things that look better then that[/QUOTE]
That's a very helpful response.
The background really doesn't suit what you have there...
I'm not a real fan of the gradient either.

Gradients are amazing, when used correctly.
I agree. I just don't particularly like how he has done his.
[QUOTE=SilverDragon619;22064141]I've shit things that look better then that[/QUOTE]
Good for you. Feel proud of yourself?
I would change that background personally... and probably the font.

Make a design in Photoshop. Slice it. Set it up in div tags. Success
edit: also, keep it simple, and avoid making it all boxes. here's something i've done. a few lines and that did the job well. [url]http://medieproduktion.mediacollege.dk:10212/kronhjorten/Default.aspx[/url]
