I like the fresh clean look about the site; it's nice and uncluttered. It's also easy to navigate, which is always a big plus point. I'd agree with Esgaroth's comments about the file sizes - people with dial-up connections aren't going to hang around and wait for everything to download (remember, plenty of people have to pay for phone time when they're online). Your aqua buttons are effective but they fight with the blurred banner - they're two different design concepts. I'd suggest getting rid of the banner and sticking with the buttons. The blurring makes the banner really hard on the eyes, and the grass effect (nicely done in itself) doesn't make much sense in the context of the banner. The aqua buttons are bright, colourful, and lend an upbeat quality to the page - all very welcome. I'm so tired of all those 'mechanoid-black-background-I-wanna-be-a-transformer' styled pages that seem to go with the territory ;-) Congrats on having the vision to do something different. Content-wise, it's hard to say anything much, for obvious reasons, but it's great that you've started off by providing tutorials. Good luck with the site - it's shaping up really well.
