Really Terrible Layout

So, this is my first layout that I've ever made, and I'd say it's pretty horrible. Anyway, here it is (warning: screenshot quality is shit too):



If you can't tell, I'm taking my first web design class lmao
Also, I haven't the slightest idea about how to make a good layout for an OT website, because idk what kinda shit goes into that with the AAC stuff and all that

EDIT:
CURRENT LAYOUT:

Actually I like it a bit.
Try to make separators for the sections, and try to add something on the sides, looks empty.

At least it's coded

Yes, it's okay for first layout but I wouldn't use it if I had a server.

also, have a sidebar:

by the way, if anyone wants the code for this so that they can make it not so terrible, lemme know

Some padding to the news box content/title would be a good start

like that?

bumping it up to the activity bar, I reckon. It's still bad, but I'd say it's getting better.

Its good for 2002

Looks like last century

Looks very sexy

Well, my opinion, not too bad for a begginer, it can be pretty decent with some minor changes:

• Add some kind of CSS (style sheet)
• Try to match header image width to the rest of website
• Delete tittle under header and embed it on image
• Please, change that background

You'd have to change absolutely everything to have it look decent

The main thing is padding. Add padding to all elements with text. Cannot have text too close to edges.
