I'd like to thank Dave for giving me the inspiration for this layout.

Rate, CC, etc...

I know there are quite alot of errors, and they will be fixed if we decide to use the layout.

Thanks,
I'll read in mornin, g'night <3

I don't like it, boring colours, flat design.

Ways to improve, vary the content box's, make a better banner, better colours.

Enjoy :)

true enough.

now can you post your real view on the design? please?

[SimplyTech]

Im not to good at rating habbo layouts but here goes.

I know its the 'habbo blue' but im not to keen on the colour scheme imo its a bit bland and doesnt stand out enough. Its also looks fairly 2d.

Overall
7/10

[RNelson]

The light blue just doesn't go with the rest also them boxes are horrid and plain but i like the top bit!

6/10 so far...

Thanks

Nice :) Well done!

[.:TeamAmerica:.]

ITs alright. Its a bit basic. Its nothing really new.

[[N]]

Its nice but you keep doing those sort of designs just umm flat basic.

Now you know how to do those ones maybe try something harder and see where it leads you.

Maybe try make non habbo design :)

So, try to make a non-habbo design for a habbo fansite?

that works.

and you're commenting on the wip - i finished it.

[[N]]

Yes thats what i ment make a design which is not habbo layout, and im not saying make it for your fansite i was just suggesting you properly can do better if you learn something else instead of doing the old same design you always do.

If i'm creating a Habbo fansite, i'm not going to go off and do a Hosting design am I?

I gave up making layouts for anyone else ages ago - so it's just for myself and possibly close friends now.

[[N]]

Ok i was just suggesting ok adam?

So why don't you make a better good design something that you don't ususally see on habbo fansites.

Because it doesn't work - never has done, never will.

I tried it before - it was rubbish.

[ebay]

very nice layout

[[N]]

Adam you tried and you stopped why stop when you can carry on and get good everytime you do a layout.
You are geting good everytime you make a layout.

Example: [Oli] wasn't really good when he first started but look at him now his excellent he kept trying and he never stopped.

[tekni]

Tbh, my layouts suck.

I have no design background that I can work on.

Your example isn't a good one.

Oli goes to college and takes design and therefore...

[[N]]

Ok i never knew about that but look at the other habbo fansite owners look at their layouts i doubt they go college and do design.

Anyways its up to you not my choice to tell you what to do lol :)

[Evescence]

Looks ok - but would be so much better with a kinda 3rd style etc

[Crystofar]

4/10

Pros:

It looks tidy ( A bit underdesigned but not overdesigned )
Not too dark so back text is easy to read.

Cons:

Way too plain ( a 3 colour palette from when I can see )
The design is too basic ( 2 side bars a content box and a header )
No effort put into it ( It looks like it would have taken 1/2 - 1 Hour max )
Lack of shading on the header and context box
Looks like any other plain HabboHotel fansite that didn't make it onto the official fansite list.

---

Overall, it looks like you just used the rectangle tool for the navigation, then switched to the rounded rectangle tool and drew the header, Copy + Paste and flipped it so it was symetrical, coloured it in with your 3 colour palette, got a picture of the Opera House from Habbo and smacked some font on. BAM! You're done.

Though it doesn't usually work like that. You have to put time and effort into a website design if you want your fansite to become popular. Work on it a bit and I'm sure it will be better. Look at other fansites and see if you can get some ideas off them.

4/10bit harsh


Pros:

fair enough, not what I would've said but...


Cons:

Way too plain ( a 3 colour palette from when I can see )
most designs are, look around you - 3 colours and that's all that's needed - more than that and it looks like we've taken a step back into the '70's and gone all hippy-ised


The design is too basic ( 2 side bars a content box and a header )
again, look around you - it's all you see. it's the design - it's not too basic at all, infact it's more complex then some designs nowadays.


No effort put into it ( It looks like it would have taken 1/2 - 1 Hour max )
that is very harsh


Lack of shading on the header and context box
lack? there was a lack on the new design which you all failed to comment on, and it's on another thread.


Looks like any other plain HabboHotel fansite that didn't make it onto the official fansite list.
and from that quote i can tell that you are an official fansite owner that's either very very stuck up, or afraid of competition

as the great mr.comins says, it's not the fact that anyone could've done it - it's the fact that someone did.
i could re-create any layout on the net if i so wish - but it's the fact that someone has already done it, and it works. so that point isn't valid.

this fansite has been in the making for well over 4 months now ;)

This is my opinion.

[Crystofar]

I see, well I do understand where you're coming from, by saying that most fansites have the same designs as the one posted, and it is fine. But I'm just suggesting to put some variation into it.

For example: HabboParadise (http://www.habboparadise.com/)

Habbo Paradise is probably one of the most well known fansites on the Australian version of Habbo. And as you can see, is has a very unique design. By this, I'm talking about the colour variation and the way the content is set out. Also, if you take an even closer look, on the right hand side, you can actually choose to change your skin and I think all of them, are actually really good with their own unique theme.

Though my rating was a bit low, it may not always stay that way seeing as sites usually improve with content, by the way their run, and how much interaction/involvement the staff actually have with the fansite.

This is a layout I began to create for a friend and isn't anywhere near finished. But as you can see, there is some variation in the shading of it and a border around the content boxes. Also, you can see that I have put some effort into a propper header and added a logo to it aswell.

This layout took me somewhere around 1 Hour + 15-30 minutes max, so I'm sure you could do much better to improve your layout and make it look better than it already is.

If you do release your fansite, I'd be interested to see how it turns out.
