2 New Designs - Which Should I Use For My Site?

    Hey Everybody,

    I currently run/own http://www.400fonts.com. As you can see the design is pretty bad. I'm now making V2 of the site and I have two designs I made to choose from, both which are much better than the original.

    Design #1:
    http://www.400fonts.com/V2/
    This design is very professional I think and certainly looks very good. (Not coded properly yet, obviously).

    Design #2:
    http://www.400fonts.com/v22/
    I haven't even coded this one yet. Personally I prefer the first one but I like this one to because it's more of a laid back design and has a nice color scheme.

    Please tell me which one you like more. I would very much appreciate your opinion on your chosen design as to whether you think it is good enough and looks as good as other well established font sites e.g. www.1001fonts.com, www.dafont.com.

    Thanks Guys! I'm hoping to pick the design I use very soon and setup V2 with all it's new features within the next 48 hours and then promote my site like crazy.

    Go for design 1, it's still got a lot of work need doing to it but it's better than the rest.

    Thanks for all the comments. I've decided to go with #1.

    What sort of changes need to be made? I really want it to be good enough that people say its as good as www.1001fonts.com.

    Everyone so far has said #1 (I've posted on other forums).

    Now that I've chosen #1 my goal is to get it as good as http://www.1001fonts.com. Please tell me how close it is to being as good as that and what changes should be made to make it as good. Maybe it's already as good? Or maybe you don't think it can be.

    All opinions are highly appreciated!

    Thanks green77! I've had a few people say they like the design as much as any other font site so I'm very happy. I'm just going to make the background a little less bright and get a brandable logo.

    Over this and a few other forums I've had so many great suggestions for my site and I've got a lot of new features to add. I'm really looking forward to adding them in.

    Thanks for all the positive comments! I'm very glad.

    I removed link #2 from my server because I decided to use #1.
