   My current job is web design/development, a few things come to mind by looking at your design: What php system do you plan on using? Wordpress, CakePHP, something from scratch? I don't see anything wrong with trying to map out the look of your site before actually coding it, but don't just go slicing the images up and…

   Hope this doesn't come across the wrong way, but this isn't the best place to look for web design advice. I would seek out places where design professionals hang out and ask for feedback.

   i think you should think of purpose and content before the layout and design, the former to things should help you define the best design. ask your self things like what your target audience is?, what the site is intended to do?
