This is a bit more like it but the header has too much empty space and the logo is a bit on the simple side. Any included ad spaces should be either 1x728, 2x728 or 1x728 & 1x300. I don't need a leaderboard as they don't pay very effectively when using CPM ads and not google.. The proxy list is a bit crowded the way it is now and there's no need to repeat the page links that are in the header directly below it....
This is more like it. Still not a huge fan of the blue color here and the header needs to be more tightly integrated again. The red highlighted proxy listings also has a very "proxy.org" feel to it as well which is a definite no no. Maybe lose the highlighted listed and seperate out in to a smaller "featured listings" and then have the "regular" listings below it? The surf anonymously box could then also be compacted and either moved in with the proxy listings or compact it and move it down further in to the page content...
This does indeed have most of the basic elements but the whole design feels quite "separated". Too much empty space around the browse box and newsletter sign up, the header feels quite empty and the site logo is too plain and the proxies in the list are far too hard to read... On the other hand the split featured & latest proxies is more along the right idea, and the subtle browse box included with the latest proxies is really quite well done...
This is all over the place. It just looks like a business website template with a proxy list in it...
This is actually quite good. The logo, links and login box in the header are taking up too much space vertically and should probably only be about half the size that it is. The proxy list needs to have the featured/latest proxies in it and doesn't need the rating or comments, the proxy browse box needs to be much smaller as it's not a primary focus and there's no place for text anywhere...
