You're welcome to use my old one if you like.

It's nice, thanks. But wouldn't it be bad since none of your cannons are protected?
I don't really know. No one has ever 3-starred me with this base, but it's probably because I was in the wrong trophy range.
People say base design doesn't really matter 'till TH7, so you don't really have to worry.
And with only like 100 walls, it's hard to protect all your defenses.
Also, it irritates me when my base isn't symmetrical, so yeah.
People say AD doesn't really matter at that level, and it's almost impossible to make your CC unlurable without having a good base design at TH5, so you can probably switch those two out for point defenses. And if elixir doesn't really matter to you, then you can switch that out too.
Thanks for the explanation, but what's CC?
Clan Castle.
Thanks and, what's a good all around army composition that I should use? I have tried the barb and Archer combo but I always end up losing with barely any resources at all.
What trophy range are you in? Maybe you're just fighting the wrong opponents.

This was mine. I liked it; depending on how high you go, won't stop the 3 stars. Started seeing giant/healer combo's in this range so that usually won against me if they used a heal spell and wb's to take out the lone AD.
The splash towers so close to the edge and right by each other seem risky...
This is my TH 5 base design

And here's one of my farming bases

Don't spend too much time on Town hall 5 or 6. Town hall 7 is much better, stronger troops, 4 barracks, 4 army camps, a Dark Elixir barrack, a barbarian king, and a lot more walls to protect defenses.
This one served me well, although I wasn't there for long.

For troops, I never used archers at TH5, I just used barbarians and goblins. I was around 700-800 trophies, and found heaps of easy big loot, as long as I searched a few times.
Would a giant and goblin combo be good? I imagine it would beat the barb and Archer combo
level 2 giants? gimme level 3 barbarians any day...
Yeah but barbarians and archers get killed way too easily
At TH5, your giants are weak, barbarians are better all around (cheaper, faster, still durable). Sounds like you need to find bases that are easier i.e. do not have high level wizard towers / mortars. Look harder for weaker bases to atack, and go for the loot - do not focus too much on winning - 800 trophies is pretty high for TH5, I found loads of easy loot around 700. As said above, you don't need to hang around at TH5 for too long, look for easy loot, max out your troops, then move on to TH6 where you can get level 3 giants, level 3 wizard, etc.
At TH5, I just used barbarians and goblins, occasionally a few archers but mainly just barbs and gobs - fill one barracks with each. I just looked for easy bases with full collectors and/or easy to reach storages. So for me, I didn't really need archers much at TH5 - I just skipped bases that were not appropriate for my army. I took a healing spell, in case my goblins were under fire from a wizard tower or mortar and needed more time to get some amazing loot. Pretty much exactly the same strategy I used for TH4. No doubt barbs and archers can work, you'd just be looking for different types of bases to attack.
At TH6, once I got all my troops upgraded to level 3, I used giant, goblin and archer - one barracks of each. I usually also took 2-4 wall breakers, just in case, as the easy loot was often behind a wall. I added some level 3 wizards at the end too, they were awesome, but that's not an everyday army it costs lots and takes forever to brew. I took 2 healing spells just in case, again, in case my goblins could get huge full storages under splash fire. As TH6, I found it harder to find big easy loot, so the level 3 giants were just about strong enough to tank while the archers and wall breakers helped deal with more walls, shoot from behind the giants, etc. I stopped using barbarians because I used giants instead - I figured level 3 giants wer better than level 3 barbarians.
