Can't agree more... I have a lime-green background (I think) and black text looks much better, than red. Red text is nearly always a bad idea.

Not lime green, but pastel green I think you mean.

Serebii.net has a horrible atrocious design,and people don't care about that except a few webmasters like me. You guys don't really get it,a website can have the best layout around,and all the 404 pages in the world. People are doin g things backwords instead of forward. When you have great content,horrible layout. Bad content,great layout. People have to do both things to succesfully own a website.

I so agree.

Well except for the part about serebii's layout being horrible.

**Faltzer** · 23rd July 2006, 2:38 AM

It's because SPP's layout is horrible,and most people already hate the layout even if the colors don't clash.

**AgentChronon** · 23rd July 2006, 1:56 PM

I think the layout definitely serves its purpose, but I suppose they could get a better one.

**Faltzer** · 23rd July 2006, 2:28 PM

The layout wasn't even design by SPP joe himself,he used Arachnophilia 4.0 to build the website. What the heck!?

**AgentChronon** · 23rd July 2006, 2:45 PM

What's Arachnaphelia?

**Faltzer** · 23rd July 2006, 2:56 PM

It's a program used to build websites.

**AgentChronon** · 23rd July 2006, 2:59 PM

Oh okay but that doesn't matter all of the content was made by him and it's not extroridanarily ugly like easy builder freewebs sites.

Serebii's design doesn't suck...just because it's very simple, doesn't mean it sucks. At least it loads fast ^^

I say, try to do ur best, keep the color schemes tasteful and have at least a good topbanner

**AgentChronon** · 20th August 2006, 12:43 AM

Um... what gets annoying is when you see the acronym of the site MUCH more than the actual spelled out name because then you search over the site and you can't find the name.

**Rufinito18** · 20th August 2006, 1:50 AM

Oh, Like SPP?
It took me three months to find out what it was o.0

**AgentChronon** · 20th August 2006, 2:07 AM

Yes, or like UP Network.

**AgentChronon** · 20th August 2006, 2:05 PM

Um if you go to freewebs.com/the-pokeball they have free layouts. If you edit them they can come out very good, so that's what I did.

Serebii's layout does not load "fast". It takes 5 whole seconds to actually load the layout and the content as well. And not even his JPG compression works as well. TCoD has real simple layouts(No,I'm not saying they're bad, I'm saying that they're made like any normal layout) and they load much faster then SPP's layouts, and some that are even image based.

**Trainer Rachel** · 22nd August 2006, 2:35 AM

For me it only takes about a second for Serebii to load... course, I have hi-speed.

**AgentChronon** · 22nd August 2006, 2:47 AM

It's not the layout that makes it go slow, it's the fact that hundreds of people are on at a time.

newa1, a tip, NEVER. EVER. EVER. USE. PICZO. (or tripod or angelfire)

**Rufinito18** · 29th August 2006, 4:49 AM
