I like the idea, but the website design is pretty bad as of now, from my point of view. The thing that looks very bad is the "control panel", I think. There are those 7 blue buttons that do the exact same thing as the ones on the top of the page, and that's distracting. Additionally (I'm nit-picking here), the "log in" & "sign up" text-buttons are very small and don't react to mouse hover (you'd expect them to react in this day and age
)
I feel that "On the forums" & "Member Statistics" should be below projects, since it's just additional info.
The registration form feels too loose (I don't think it's a good thing to have Profile Details next to Account details, when Profile Details spans much farther than the former). Perhaps you should scrap the non-essential forms like "LinkedIn URL", "Portfolio URL", "Tox ID", "Skype ID". The "Please share any prior experience:" text is lower than it should be.
The "This field can be seen by: Everyone Change" - "change" doesn't look like a button, it's just a regular text. Perhaps give it some gray rounded-rect highlight?
I suppose the design is a WIP anyway, though.
@EDITAlso, pleasee ditch the white text-shadow on member information text, because it makes it look like JPEG compressed image.
TL;DR the idea is nice, but the website drives me away, because it's supposed to look professional, but it doesn't.
