So, I started doing websites yesterday, and I would like to get some hints and tips on my site.
http://wp-test.tuneld.com/ here is the link.

I'm actually doing this one for a real company, and hopefully they will like the design.
The colors are because their logo is in orange/white/black, but if you got any hints on what hexa code I should use for each part of the site I would really appreciate it.
Like if you want a different color order, and some other colors, like another shade of orange etc. Feel free to give me hexcode and tell what part to change.

If I like your tips, I will gladly donate!

I'm doing everything in wordpress. Otherwise, just I'll gladly take critisicm. This is afterall, my first website ever, I started yesterday.

In black instead of White.
Abit hard to read atm.


Edit: also that image is scaled weirdly.

All of the white text in the orange/yellow is hard to read. Remove the drop shadows on the text or change color scheme so the drop shadows are more subtle and don't affect the legibility. Remove the green line from around the yellow box. The car inside the white frame is skewed. It might look better if you align those orange lines below the paragraphs.

Honestly, based on what I can see, this website would be just fine as a one-page website.

Also, the top real estate isn't really utilized very well. The top car is redundant based on the location of the other car..the logo is too big and the space at the top is useless. 'Anmälan' could go in the footer and doesn't need its own page. If you keep the multi-page website, then the buttons could use some subtle roll-overs.

The hotmail email address isn't professional looking, so hopefully that's just placeholder.

Thanks for your post.
Well, I haven't gotten the real images yet, the top car should be changed to the real company icon, the other car is gonna be changed to a slider and pictures (scaled well) on the driving school. Also the black top I will make in photoshop and make it look better, or maybe pay someone to make a nice one. The white I'm going to change, but I haven't found where in my css code where it's located.. :(

However, do you got an tip on a good font I can use?

I would just stick with websafe fonts like Verdana, Tahoma, Arial.. Georgia if you want a serif font.
