but i don't believe your site gives any impression that it's related to web design. imagine that the text was gobble-dee-gook. What would most people assume your site is purely on the basis of its appearance? My guess is that it would be anything but visually attractive design. The biggest quarm is the colour scheme, definitely.

Minimalism? Fine. But something too minimal simply shows lack of effort and little involvement or consideration about aesthetics, and that you don't appreciate or enjoy engaging in the subtleties and nuances of web design. Two sides - one red, one pure black.

You really should go with white and red. Your combination of colours is evil, devilly and not relevant at all. Even the text symbolises this. Things that spring to mind:

Nazis
Death
Goths

I know my site is dark too, and I've been accused of it being a bit gothicky. But I counteract that with vibrant colours and glassy effects, giving the look I desire, and making something 'good' something 'cool'. You must start to think about all these factors and layers. You are clever enough, but you need to develop a more artistic mindset that considers the visitors' response to your choices. What do certain colours signify? etc. I'm trying to help, like you helped me so kindly and well.
