Bolder, but is it better?

[rarebit]

I've recently changed the theme of my new site and i'm a bit unsure. It was orange and the font was 'lighter', so i've made it somewhat bolder, using blue and red. Not that I dislike it, but I don't prefer it. However at least the forum isn't orange now (a bit off putting me thought):

You should implement a sticky footer. Non-sticky footers don't look professional. Also, you should apply a max width for the page, and center it on-screen.

mmm, i've been discussing the sticky footer, but not so sure about the centred bit, other sites I do, but I feel not on this for some reason?

also i would like to add that that gradient in the header hurts my eyes. try colors that blend better or to shades that are closer.

i don't know about anyone else but it is the only thing my eyes could focus on.

rarebit, do you happen to have a link to your old design?

This is only a half developed and not really as yet public page, but theres a shot of the homepage here: http://media.monkies.co.uk/portfolio.html

Normally I don't have an issue making the page full height. I use the style & height method in-conjunction with a table and it works fine, however I had issues this time for some reason. I did a little searching and found and did this:

html, body {
height:100%;
}

Which sort of solved my problem, but now the page is just slightly too long!

 

Any suggestions?
