I tend to do it in paint, using habbo content boxes and changing them a little. Then i do expandable divs to code it. Simple really.
And anyway his layouts not that bad as a normal layout (excluding the big fonts) but its just not habbo.

So basically you've just done what every photoshop nooby does (including me at one point.) Thrown it in PS and used the gradients. I would focus on adding some more solid colour, by that I mean not all them glossy gradients.
They wouldnt look so bad if the font sizes were smaller..
Terrible tbh xD
Some tips for improvement :)
- Use the same font for all of the layout
- Avoid black backgrounds for whole boxes (its okay to use them for headers and footers ect)
- Keep the same amount of spacing between each box (around 5-10px is a good amount.)
- Don't use so many gradients
Wow Thanks all you guys for the tips and i use adobe Firework cs3~!:eusa_whis
Hey, layout 2 looks like you may have pottential.
You're on the right path, just you shouldn't stretch them like that, they should always have a nice font size, as the font's in that layout must be like 72, which is huge, for a header, as I said you're on the right path you just need to look at a few other fansites that have nice layouts, and try making something a little like it, don't rip it at all, just look at the color schemes and font sizes, how they're at a good size, not to huge or to small.
Also, you're using a good designing program, don't let anyone trick you into using photoshop, learn how to use fireworks until you can design fairly well then move onto photoshop - it's pretty advanced, I don't use it myself yet.
