There's much to be desired in the way of aesthetics.

Beyond this, I am pleased.

I asked Alice for help on aesthetics, but she hasn't given me a response. I'm focusing on the technical aspects at the moment.

I don't know, I almost prefer no attempt at dressing things up to bad ones. And I really, really prefer putting getting the technical aspects right ahead of working on the color scheme.

I would only change the colors. I don't intend to make significant changes to the layout. Because aesthetic preferences are highly individualized, I plan to eventually allow individual customization. I may not change appearances at all until I build that function into the site.

Do you have specific recommendations for improving aesthetics? If it's only issues of color, I can change that quickly. If it's a layout issue, I won't change that until I finish the technical aspect of development.

The colors, yes. Also, the pointy corners. Apparently 90 degree angles put me on edge.

I'll spend more time here to give a more detailed answer.

Which colors would look good? I didn't round any corners, because that requires more bandwidth. Rounded corners are actually images loaded in the background of borderless boxes. I may do that later. I didn't know how well the server would handle the bandwidth requirements of operating the site, but it looks like it should be able to handle that fine.
