    I think both are a fairly simplistic design. You may want to make them a bit more eye catching, and make them a brand with unique logos and images, a clean design etc.

    I am not sure if you have ever seen this, and this is not a joke:

    webpagesthatsuck.com/does-my-web-site-suck/does-my-web-site-suck-intro.html

    Seriously, you need to read some design books, or articles.

    Also, a good place to learn solid skills for building is:
    htmlgoodies.com

    Good luck!

    The fish is excellent, everything else has its own unique style,
    which some people may like and some people may not like.

    First site:
    I think the colorscheme would work best if you replaced the bright pink with a dark blue

    Second site:
    The background kind of looks busy, try using a gradient background instead

    I think the background, is a tad distracting to the eye - your eyes are not drawn to the page, but to the background.

    The second site does have a vertical gradient - it creates an array of funky red lines.

    Ohhh! I remember now. Um.. those are technically not gradients.. gradients look like this:

    But of course.. not as harsh..

    LOL, it is a 'unique gradient'.

    What does the word gradient actually mean in the english language?

    Basically the background file is 500px by 1px.

    Edit: rep added for helping

    Generally
    It's not good that a huge chunk of your home page is below the fold - i had to scroll down to see an image
    The Logo is a bit stair steppy- try anti aliasing by exporting from illustrator?
    The graphics on the packaging is really cool - can't you use that?


    what is your target audience? seems like a kind of expensive drink for cool young people. Sort of thing that might be on sale at Glastonbury music festival.

    I would take a look at some sites that are aimed at the same sort of market to give you some ideas of layout...

    To be honest, i am yet to actually a can of this drink, let alone try it, but i am sure it will be nice, it looks lovely. I have never seen this drink for sale in the south west of england either.
