My first real mockup in photoshop. Before I even bother with coding, I'd like some suggestions. I know it could look sharper.. things are missing and it just doesn't look as good as most sites do, yet I don't quite know why.

Mind taking a look?

Hi

1. Why is the RSS logo at the top right?
2. Is your company Coffee House or Wicked Cafe? I am lost as to how to identify you.
3. Wicked Cafe text is a bit too ordinary - if ordinary is your thing then you should consider making it a bit smaller - simplicity works better in small sizes.
4. Silhouette of the city-scape is nice - It gives me that trendy coffee house feeling
5. Navigation is a bit too large - shorten up the height of the header since you already have a large space allocated to the coffee beans.

Looks good so far. I think if you spend another 2/3 hours on it then you've got yourself a real winner.

Now speaking of which....*goes to the kitchen*

I'd agree with The Conqueror on most things. The pink text Wicked Cafe needs something more. Also, the image of the espresso machine seems all alone. Maybe a title underneath it or another image or try adding an underline to the word "Title". I would just try subtle changes and see how they look. Overall I feel like you are very close to an awesome design. Nice work.

Yep, make navigation a bit smaller, and I love the skyline at the bottom, but maybe make the red bg consistent right down to the skyline.

Thanks for the great feedback guys. Wicked Cafe definitely needs to be spiced up. I'll probably find an awesome trendy font and do some text replacement.

The RSS logo? The corner felt really, really empty so I stuck something there. I'd probably do better with a search form, but it's not really a large site so that would be pointless. Maybe I should float the slogan over on that side?

I'm planning to use Jquery on the the coffee house image header, so that's just a temp place holder right now.

I'll definitely change the navigation text size and header size as well.

The pink (in the title and the bottom bar) does stand out abit much, doesnt really go with the rest of the page

I really like it! You must remove the giant RSS logo though. With it like that, the site just doesn't make sense. Really nice job though!

except giving full dark colur image in back you can put only banner in that color with a light color background behind whole and really navigation is much smaller..........

I accept the image of the espresso machine seems all alone. Maybe a title underneath it or another image or try adding an underline to the word "Title". I would just try subtle changes and see how they look.
