I am working on two new layouts one is for JCEntertainment.ca, and the their partner Game AzureGale.
I was just wondering on your guys partakes to the looks to each site.

They are not bad. To me they have a old fashion feel to them and that is not always a bad thing. I am not sure what the siteonline status bar is for though..if the site wasn't online couldn't put a not online bar, or if they are looking at the site then obviously the site is online. Or does it point to another site?

Anyways keep us updated with it.

ok I will, umm the site online is referring to the game itself weather you can log in or if it is under maintenance the index is just the front page not the game.

Got an error of this type :p

Does feel a bit old-timey. Not that there is anything wrong with that. It will be interesting to see how this progresses, one thing though. If you are serious about running your own game, don't use art that belongs to other people in your banner. It just looks tacky.

Agree. Get your own graphics. Also think the Azure Gale looks best. The JC Entertainment dotted border looks like it is made in paint. Use something more stylish. You can find some nice designs at http://www.oswd.org good place to get some inspiration

@Falken I did not create the banner, it was something that was given to me It seems that they are having an artist work on a new banner which is more suitable for their game but as of the moment they are using that as a place holder.

and another thing this is not my game in anyway I am just developing the layout for these two friends of mine. And the JCEntertainment I am trying to go for a completely new look that stands out from the rest. While all these new sites are going with curves and and ink blotches and they are becoming two common. JCE is just lacking content, once they supply me with some I will be able to continue with that.
and yea it does look a little oldschool

You better keep the oldschool

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you there. 1997 was way before Ebay tried to make the site so user-friendly that they made it unusable for everyone.
