Please review my VB design I am working on

**Glitto** · 09-27-2009, 06:17 PM

Hello all,

I want to share my 2nd VBulletin skin which I am designing for my forum decentdiscussions.com

I have designed only homepage & forums page so far, will complete the postbit page by tonight hopefully.

You can see the pages here

I tried to give this forum a "paper-inspired" look and feel that's why you will find the background in paper-style. I used the soft colors on this skin.

Please see the design and let me know how am I doing?

I will get it coded from psdtovb.com probably.

Waiting for your replies

I like the background, how it looks like a desk or something with the pencils laying around, very cool

**bobdebilder** · 09-28-2009, 05:57 AM

will you be moving decent discussion on to vB?

the phpbb site actually looks neat

**Glitto** · 09-28-2009, 06:17 AM

Yes, I will be moving the decent discussions forum on to VB because there are many features that are not available in phpbb.

I understand the current design is also looking good but upgrade is must for long run.

**bobdebilder** · 09-28-2009, 06:41 AM

good stuff

**Mikey** · 09-28-2009, 10:38 AM

Looks brilliant, is this just a PSD, or actually coded?

**Glitto** · 09-28-2009, 10:45 AM

Yes, it is just a PSD for now. When I complete it I will send it to psdtovb.com to code it

And thanks for appreciating the design.

**Glitto** · 09-28-2009, 04:22 PM

OK, I have completed the postbit page too, please see the page and let me know what you think

Tell me about the "buttons".. are they looking good?

Waiting for your replies

**Caddyman** · 09-28-2009, 05:11 PM

i really like the post page, but the thanks, groan, edit, buttons seem out of place, look a little strange.

**ohiosweetheart** · 09-28-2009, 05:18 PM

Sorry Glitto, but I have to be honest and say that I don't like the buttons at all. They don't match the rest of the theme. I would expect to see them on a young girls' page or forum.

You need something more "adult" to complete the postbit look correctly.

**Glitto** · 09-28-2009, 05:21 PM

OK, I will change the buttons then

Me too not very happy with them, but just wanted to know others opinion about them.

**ohiosweetheart** · 09-28-2009, 07:17 PM

The rest of the style is fantastic.

**Glitto** · 09-29-2009, 05:05 AM

Just wondering if I want to sale this theme (PSD Format) how much I can get for it?

It is fully custom-design and unique, I should get good price for it, isn't it?

**ohiosweetheart** · 09-29-2009, 07:35 AM

are you going to sell it coded or uncoded? You'll get alot more for it if it's a working style.

**Mikey** · 09-29-2009, 10:39 AM

Coded, I'd market this at around $90 one time sale or $25 licenses. Uncoded, I'd say around $40.

That's so cheap

I have sold unique website templates in the past (only homepage & uncoded) for $75 but this unique vbulletin theme (homepage + inner pages) only $40... no way.

**ohiosweetheart** · 09-29-2009, 02:01 PM

Uncoded, I would never purchase for more than $50.

Hey, I didn't say this is what I'd buy them at, I said this is what I'd sell them at. When selling your own product, you have to look at it objectively. That being said, it is a great skin, and it's probably better suited for the site you made it for

**Glitto** · 09-30-2009, 06:02 AM

OK, I have completed the design and now I am looking for a PSD to VB coder. Do you have any recommendation for me? I talked to PsdtoVB.com but they are charging too much.

**Glitto** · 10-21-2009, 04:31 AM

My forum has been coded and upgraded from phpbb to VB

Please see the design in action here: Fun, Humor & Gossip Forum

You can see the buttons I designed later on this post page

Please tell me how is the forum looking?

**faith** · 10-23-2009, 10:55 AM

The design is bright.

**Glitto** · 10-25-2009, 07:32 AM

How are the buttons looking now?

They were not good when I posted the screenshot, but later I changed the design.
