Vertical menu in center of the page ?

Hi,

I have tried to make an original interface for this website design. As you can see on the website preview, the menu is in the center of the screen and the content is on the sides. The "pages" slides up and down on the sides of the page.

I tought that was original and asked some people about it. I would like to know if there is not too much focus on the menu ? If yes, would there be any changes I could make to put the focus on the content (eg. changing colors, contrast...) ? Or, is it simply a bad design idea regarding websites ergonomy ?

Thanks for your advice.

The translucent box on the right doesn't have enough opacity. Give it more opacity to make the text more readable OR change have more contrast between the bg and the text. So lighter text or darker background. Have bigger text, at least 14px. And give some structure to it by line brakes or paragraphs(p tags in html).

Add a strong drop-shadow to the menu on both sides. Use lists, not plain links for the menu structure. Give the anchor elements some padding so there's a bigger area you can click on.

One more thing, having all your content like that on one page isn't very good for SEO.
