I want a fairly simple and straight forward design that’s easy to navigate and is low on bandwith to keep the hosting price down.
Here is a quick idea made in mspaint.

Top menu will be text based with probally an image background or maybe a solid color.
It will be something like this:
Play | News | FAQ | Submit | Ideas | Credits | Donate | Forum | Links
I'm not sure about the color theme, the game will be associated with evil. Is red good?
Any ideas or suggestions?
