What do you think of these?

At least do it properly if you are going to say they fail but seriously dont tell them they should give up?

[L?KE]

To be honest, I opened up the first one and thought that was bad. I opened up the second and thought that was even worst. I'm not even going to go there on the third. If I were you, I'd scrap them and get someone else to do you one. There's no way you're going to be able to produce a successful fansite with any one of those layouts.

Don't need a decent layout to be successful, look at google

Google's layout is decent. It's actually pretty perfect, it only has what's necessary, nothing more, nothing less.
