Uhh usually we can crit your layouts if you show us an example of what kind of content each section would hold, where the navigation is, etc.

Also, do you know how to slice and code these? If not I would recommend you stop making them in PS until you learn.

Number 5's color scheme isn't good.. orange and green? It's just awkward.. 5/10

Layout 6 is awesome though; i'd give it a 9/10. Spruce it up with some fancy graphics and it'll look awesome.

Wow Really Thanks!!!!

Wow Really Thanks!!!!

By the way, take note of Conor's advice; slicing in photoshop will help reduce loading times.. if that image just doesn't happen to load, a content-only site will look quite odd..

You should not use Photoshop to code the page. It codes your page in tables, and doesn't code it valid:

I slice the page i n photoshop, what do you suggets me to do?

My advice to you is to stop using Photoshop and ImageReady to make templates. Photoshop is an image editing program, not a web development environment. Just because it has "slice" doesn't mean you should use it. You should go out and buy a book on how to develop real, valid templates using XHTML and CSS.

To start learning about how to make a good template... figure out why it's bad to use a 309px * 220px solid color box for a background, why iframes are the dumbest thing ever invented, and why you shouldn't use tables to layout the elements on your site....

So ur syaing i shoodnt be creating templates in phoroshop because its bad to.......

 

[Conor]

Yeah. For your purposes it would be much cleaner, and easier to make it in CSS and HTML. Solid colors are easy to do with background colours etc. Images slow down load times and make it harder to keep a proper structure.

I know but you dont get same effects out of pictures and pictures dont load that slow....

If you read nothing else, read this: http://www.hotdesign.com/seybold/

Look at this one first (contains hundreds of links): http://www.andybudd.com/links/cssweb_standards/index.php

Then check out these:
http://www.alistapart.com http://www.csszengarden.com http://www.webstandards.org/ http://css.maxdesign.com.au/ http://opensourcetemplates.org/ http://www.tjkdesign.com/ http://www.sitepoint.com/print/essentials-modern-web-design

Read as much as you can, then read some more, then try making another template.
