* in 1280x1024 resolution, everything is aligned to left, leaving wide empty area on right.
I suggest aligning everything to center, so it would look nice on all resolutions.

* Menu buttons look weird. They're separated and won't match overall style. I would suggest something simpler. A menu bar or just some horizontal bar graphics under whole button row would probably make it clearer that it's the button-bar and there's stuff you could click on.

* I quite like the overall theme, it's simple and nice. But main photo-banner and and everything else won't go together very well. Photos are way too crazy and colorful compared to everything else.

I don't understand Serbian (or whatever Slavic language that is), but It's quite clear that this should be a web for a night club? This requires some style, dude. It's also quite similar to Russian, which I do speak, so I'll take a guess what means what. Anyway,

- the photo image on "reservations" looks quite good
- the photo image on "prices" (?) looks stylish. But kind of empty. Especially compared to other images.
- the photo image on "music" looks extremely cheap. Like some 90's clip art thrown together in MSPaint. It doesn't fit with other images at all!
- the photo image on "about club" is what made me write this here. There's many colorful images together, and your website uses only soft, blurry, eye-pleasing colors. So this image there is like a needle in the eye compared to everything else.
- I like the image on index page. Photo styles differ here a bit too much also, but it still looks great IMO.

Also! photobanner size changes on different pages. This is bad. Keep same size of the banner on all pages.

What would help? First, lose the GIF compression. Images, especially in reservation bit, look too grainy. Photos work much better as JPG if you save using high quality or since the images aren't that large, save them as PNG for no color loss at all.
Second, how many images do you have to make that banner? Maybe choosing images that have similar color would work better. I mean, where light is similar. Maybe you don't have to slap together one photo of mostly green light, other red and third one purple.

If your resources are limited, try to tone these photos into one color. I would work harder and make them go into color when mouse pointer is over them, but considering how simple the page is, you probably wouldn't want to go this far.

Anyway, my point is that you need to keep one style throughout the site, not mix up a spaghetti of different fonts and styles and buttons and logos.

* I'm not too sure about the font. For a night club, it looks kind of... for old people. Like for a library or book shop webpage, not trendy club. But it's well readable, so... I don't know. I'd try some other fonts before deciding.

* Make the "Copyright © 2007" thing much smaller! The page is about club, not you or whoever made it.
This simply doesn't look good if it's same size as the content of the page.

* If possible, make pegasus image tiny bit lighter (brighter) so it wouldn't mess with the text on it. Near it's head area, where is much dark colors, text is difficult to read. And even though my monitor brightness is at maximum!

* I tried to make a tiny edit about image toning and menu bar area, but this is just a quick one, I'm sure you can work this out much better.



I don't suggest to tone photoimage as hard as I did - this is getting a bit too boring for a club page. But try something similar or find photos with more similar coloring and you'll get the idea. I made this to show how things should match in color and tone. Or even better, make several versions and see what works better in this problem. Using better compression on photos would do the half of the job, for sure.

And I repeat again, do something with these buttons. Text on them feels too large and weird. Maybe using slightly smaller font would do the trick?

Anyway, good luck with this website, I hope atleast something I said helped a bit.

P.S. 55 Euros for entry?! Omg. For that money, I could visit 4 clubs in Estonia. Or one and buy 2-4 good coktails too. Or go to any worldwide popstar concert, like DJ Tiesto etc.

How DARE you show so little respect to Laetitia Casta by stealing one of her pictures?
Just kidding. Nice style. Sober and elegant, for a "static" site.
