If you think interface is the last thing to design in your web site, then believe me you are making a big mistake. If you believe interface does not deserve the design effort, and two or three pictures will be enough, then again - you are making a mistake. Please take care that: Interface gives life to your Web site. Most of the time, users do not care that much about the programming in your Web site, and the value it adds to their lives as much as they care about the interface. They love to see a Web site that tracks their eyes, keeps them interested no matter how long they spend there, and attracts them within the usability and simplicity rules of: Web sites.
I had this experience myself with this site. I even started programming without caring that much about the interface, so what? I shall add the functionality first, then design the site, and believe me: I was wrong.
I thought that I will add two or three pictures to the site and it will be amazing, but it did not. I had to contact a Graphic Designer I know to give me a hand at this site, till it turned to the way it is now, and I had to go through hell to deliver it the way it is now. It needs some tricks to wrap the pages you have already built within the new interface you have added, specially if you are not following the standards; and that was the case.
Any way, thankfully I managed to unleash the site with this interface; that will stay as it is quiet long enough. Hopefully you like it. Please for comments regarding the interface design, do not hesitate to mail me.
