• Music is horrible.
• Colours are horrible.
• Text is horrible.
• Effects are amatuer.
• Background picture is awfully pixelated.

• Make music toggleable
• Use a more plain background, or a picture that isn't quite as busy
• Make the colours fit, the grey boxes really don't fit and really look horrible, try using a dark background with lighter text on, and a different font, try Times New Roman, Century Gothic or Verdana.
• The links need to either be along the side or at the top or make a feature out of them such as a nav bar along the middle or integrate them with the colour scheme of the rest of the site, gray, white and then a random splash of colour with the dogtag and render really doesn't go in well.
• Take some inspiration from here, if I'm ever stuck on a graphic or colour scheme I'll try and take inspiration (note: Take inspiration not steal ) from another persons work.

Ok, first of all, Entertainer: THERE IS A MUSIC TOGGLE. Second, your opinion on amateur effects is bullshit, so what? He is not an expert designer.
I think the BG is pixelated for the simple reason that you have not contrained the proportions in a PHP or HTML webpage, so it will show full size on any resolution, mucking up the pixels and real size of it.
Reduce the time delay of the fade outs from the NAV BAR, it looks like it lags when you switch from one to the other.
Get rid of the small arrow floating above the text box.
Make a banner, and make it "brush" in at the top, instead of the text.
Then, for your render, make him dissolve in, or try and find a nice effect. He just kind of "plonks" himself onto the screen and it looks crass.
Smooth the boxes, dont make them look like squares. Use solid colours for now, dont try gradients.

Try "brushing" the BG with a darker colour whilst adding more darker colours to the navigation and boxes.

Overall? Hm...... well, it is not perfect, far from it, but it is a start, and I am sure with some help of other "pros" you could get it nice.

Edit - Contact me for some expert flash templates I have, I can give you the editable versions and you can get some ideas from them ( not my temps by the way ).
And if you are going to take ANY inspiration from a web designer templates go here www.hypertemplates.com .

It's alright, seems pretty interesting but even on my cable connection it lags, it makes the music and menu its self skip and jump, might want to change the music too, I'm not big on rape and I know others arn't either, but it's a good start anyway, just work on making it less laggy, maybe add some colour or gradients on the main page and your gold.
