: Design tips for a web design by a beginning developer I'm currently in the process of making a design for a web application. Although I'm very interested in design, I'm actually a programmer,

First, this is obviously a critique which we allow but as a result the following are my opinions:


The menu on the left should all be aligned right. Its strange to me that you aligned right all the points but then align left the headings and then indent the date. Align it all to the right.
I think the Green and Red is actually nice. What doesn't work is that blue you chose for links and for whatever that rectangle in the middle is. I would find a different color than blue to use. Perhaps a really dark green almost black would be better.
The kerning on your lettering in parts looks really tight. For example at the top the word 'Project' has the C and T touching. KPI in the middle has the P and I almost touching. I would really allow a little more space. The compactness is nice but I think you went a little too far with it.
There's gray around the KPI on the left menu. I'm not sure why it is there but I would adjust it so whatever it is doesn't extend past the right alignment you have or add another element there showing the margin area. Right now it just sorta dangles over the invisible edge you've created with the text.
