I don't believe that it looks good at all. Sorry. It's extremely plain, square, and hard colored.

The layout is ok..but you need to work on the colors, try something a little easier on the eyes. Also the indented lines would look better as 2 pixels (1 black 1 white). The gradient bars you have going through the header and the link areas dont really do anything for the layout and it would probably look better without them, and whats up with the "homepage" text in the banner?

Theres nothing wrong with a simple or "plain" layout as long as it still..flows I guess would be a good word and easy to look at. The main problem with this is, as I said, the colors, if you can fix them I think you'll be on your way to having a pretty decent layout.

Good Luck

I dont really like it, it very blue and text looks like its gonnabe big, and so in the menu. maybe take it to the middle, try making it small and a different font. too many squared and rectangles there, try getting rid of some of them. anyway, i think that u got the idea and u can do better, so keep trying man.

It's to chunky and to much blue. 2/10! i just don't like it!

[Davey]

needs some curves and stroke has been overused... as above, it is too chunky looking... also download some nice fonts

[Matt L]

TBH, it looks like it could have been done in MSPaint

Yeah, I agree, though it isn't bad, those are the things that could be improved upon.

[Davey]

lookin better so far... keep us posted

[Spide®™]

Thx davey will do

heres some buttons iam testing out tell me your views on them plz

[Davey]

i'd go with the second from bottom... maybe change the yellow to a more orangy colour... also, lose the black stroke, use drop shadow at the default angle (120 i think), set distance to 1 and size to 2-5 depending wot looks best, if u insist on using the stroke, set it to 1 and use low opacity (50% max) - probly drop the opacity of the diagonal stripes too to about 20%

BIG improvement over the original.

only thing i dont see the point of is the extra bar under the copyright bar...i really dont think you need it.

[Spide®™]

Thx Tirus m8 yeah your right i will get rid of that its useless,
not even sure why i made that extra bar lol

the layout is just about done now, only thing is codeing the thing
