Hello guys, I'm really hoping you can help me. I'm pretty much desperate. Not asking you to completely design something for me, but.. here's my problem.

I'm in my final year for the second time, I had to redo this semester because I couldn't pass. I've been having a lot of problems with designing - it's like I've almost lost the fun I always used to have with it. It's really hard to keep coming with sketches and designs, but I have to, because if I don't pass this time, I'll totally fail.

The site I've been struggling with is the following : http://www.nadiemasquetu.com/preciosa/rpv/index.htm This is the second (detailed worked out version) I have made of the site. It's in Dutch, but you'll be able to see how the menu works - it does by the circles. This is about an Arthritis organisation, so I choose for the concept of using the circles/menu options on the places of the body where arthritis hits the hardest.

The critic of my teachers was there there wasn't enough "designed" in this website, I hope you can understand what they mean with that. I assume they mean the lot of "whites" and all, but I just can't.. can't come up with any good ideas to improve it. Also, at first on the main page, the circles are on the "sensitive arthritis areas", but when you go deeper into the side, they line up like the spine - because else it's not working well, IMO. But, that's very wrong in my teacher's eyes.

So could you help me perhaps with some constructive critic, and suggestions on what I should change? Do you think the concept itself is good enough, or that I should go for something else? I have to work with the logo and the pink/purple colors, unfortunately. Any kind of help and suggestions would be SO very much appreciated, I'm dying here.
