What happened to the layouts for Neopets?

We no longer offer or host any premade layouts for Neopets or any other site.
My family & myself all quit Neopets months ago, It was too much work having to keep up with their code changes.
Too many rules and restrictions with what is & isn't allowed when creating layouts just made it a hassle & not worth the time & effort.

Will my old layouts still work?

Sorry but No. All directories, graphics, music, layout codes were all deleted from our server.
We No Longer host any type of graphics to use on other sites except websites that we own.

Where can I find premade layouts, graphics, ect?

Check out our Links Page. We have totally updated our links and added numerous links for a variety of topics.
Please Do Not write to us if you have problems with a site. These are just links to sites I've visited & think
are worth recommending. If you have any questions direct them to the site itself.

Can I purchase a custom layout?

We do custom work through our shop only at Ahomemadechristmasdesigns. We only create custom websets for personal & commercial sites,
custom MySpace Profiles & custom sets for online stores. Making a profit from any form of design for Neopets would be abusing their terms of use.

Why the big change?

Ahomemadechristmas was always meant to be a Christmas site only. Offering holiday hints & tips & maybe a few goodies.
It quickly became known for Christmas premade layouts & then all holidays were added. A hobby site became a time consuming ever growing project.
We have permanently returned to the format it was intended to be, welcoming all those that love Christmas.

Why all the references to MySpace?

I made a MySpace account due to my kids being on it & quickly learned to appreciate all the goodies you can use to
design your profile. The web is full of sites offering layouts & generators to customize your profile.
Plus there is an extensive amount of business owners on MySpace & great for networking with other people in the same business as yourself.

Can I still use any graphics I saved & am hosting elsewhere?

If you saved any of our previously offered graphics & uploaded them to a image hosting site or your own website you can
use them under certain conditions. You must link back to our site on any web page the graphics are used on. They Can Not
be added to any graphic collections for others to download, Can Not be offered on any site for others to use even if you
are hosting the image yourself, Can Not manipulate the graphic in any program or create any derivative works.
We retain all ownership of these graphics & can at any time offer them by themselves or in a collection for purchase only.

Do you really recommend purchasing graphics to make my own designs?

Unless you have artistic abilities and can create your own unique designs I firmly recommend purchasing graphics to use in your designs.
Your other option is contacting the artist of the graphic you want to use & get their written permission to use them.
The down side here is that there are usually strict terms of use of what is allowed & what isn't. Also an artist can pull their
permission at any time
. Very few artist give permission these days without buying a license first & you will need to place the license code
and all credit to that artist on your completed project. You usually can not use their graphics on a commercial site or sell any creations using
their artwork. Purchasing graphics gives you a lot more freedom in your creations. You don't need to add any watermarks unless you add your own,
can be used on commercial sites or to create digital products to sell for profit. Usually you can animate or manipulate the graphics to fit your
creation. Before buying any graphics READ their Terms of Use First. All sites are different & some don't allow you to create & sell the same
products they sell on their site. The sites I recommend can be found by clicking on my Credits Page.
