    I just finished renovating my website and am interested in getting some votes and feedback on which design theme is better (and perhaps why?). I won't say which one is new and which one is the older just yet. I want to give both design themes a fair shot at the one that we will end up settling with.

    Please respond here with your vote and why you voted that way. Thanks. Oh, any additional critique would be appreciated as well.

    Theme B

    Theme A is too dark, so unless your targeting it at a certain market of goths or something then I wouldn't use it.

    Thanks for the vote.

    Buttons? Yes, I can. It was kind of a coin toss whether I should or not, so your feedback helps.

    Two of you, so far, said that Theme A is too dark. How about if I were to change the main table to a white background instead of the gray and keep the black only on the outside frame?

    Okay, to update the thread a bit, I've taken some suggestions from here and there and revised the site.

    For others to reference, I've moved what used to be Theme A to:
    http://dollarcardmarketing.com/index_Old_A.html

    So now, what's on the live site I guess can be considered "Theme C"


    In case you were wondering, we're open for business during renovations. Sales are brisk, and affiliates are doing well also.

    I like B. The whole graphical backgrounds reminds me of something a little older (that was a popular thing back in the 90's). It also seemed very distracting from the content.
