Wow, my first website design interface. I think that I did a good job on it, but I could have done a lot better. Comments and criticism are welcome.
NOTE: This is not a real company or a real website. If this template has any similarities to any companies of the sort then it is completely coincidental.
Okay - I'm not being mean- this is a very good piece, but there are some things that could make it much better, imo:
I'll caution you against using vertical text, as in most cases the effect can be achieved through turning the text sideways (which preserves the legibility, where stacking it does not). I'd say the same thing as orkunvm about your margins and padding. I like the 'box within a box' idea you're playing with in the content area, but I feel the enclosed, dark grey boxes should be aligned right (or left aligned with quite a bit more padding there.)
Also, have you tried lining the navigation text up with 'Interior & Exterior'? It might create more of a gridded feel (which is what you seem to be following here.) Maybe try making the navigation text either white or green (with the alternating color used as 'hover', but not both. It creates a sense of disconnect overall with the navigation.
Again - I'm giving you an honest critique. It took me a long while to get used to an honest critique and I don't know how well you will take it. If you feel that I'm being mean or belittling in any way - please delete this comment.
Oh! and I just noticed this: I would align the 'Interior & Exterior' portion of the title to the ends of 'Skyhigh', but that's just me.

if people weren't honest then things would still look bad when they can look better.
