1. Viewing;
Viewing fansite's is a great way to know what you want to achieve.
If you look at all different website's like the following
Habbox.com
ClubHabbo.net
And you'll see how much they've achieved, and your aim is to think:
i want to be just like them!
It's not a simple task though, it's really hard.
They don't just set up a pants layout and think done!
I'ma tell you how to be like them now.
2. Layout prefrences;
Most people like layouts with alot to view on them
The best programmes to make them on are:
MS Paint (if you've got the skill)
Photoshop
Gimp
Heres a rough of what you want on it, (inluding images!)

3. Making a banner;
Making banner's is pretty easy
Just go to your summer/winter/etc habbo room and take a picture, crop it on your layout maker programme and put some pretty text on it.
4. Text;
Most people struggle with finding text's it's really not that hard
Just go to www.dafont.com (http://www.dafont.com) then go to top 100 and browese to see which ones you like
5. Visitors;
Most people like viewing site's with potential eg;
Good layout
Good audience
Aged based
No advertisements
Good domain
You're never going to get there if on the content you put;
w3lc0m3 t0 my l33t s1t3 lul.
You need to write perfectly, eg
Welcome to (sitename) here, I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
6. Programmes;
Most people like on fansites alot of things like
Usersystems
Radio
And all this sort of jibberish ;)
