    Our current site is located at http://www.eHDMI.com

    We want to know if the new pay layout looks more appealing to potential customers. And no, it's not close to being finished.
    The New Site

    Thanks!!!

    Well on the current site all of the images are broken, and maybe it is missing it's CSS? So hard to tell unless that is how it is.

    It happens. At least you caught it before too much time passed and you lost too many sales.

    But, too answer your question...now that it is up I think that I like the new design better. It is nice because it isn't so white and sparse.
    The navigation is nice too. I haven't looked at it in IE but in FF the nav needs to be centered into the middle of the row, it looks a little off but that is my only real recommendation at this point.

    hands down I think they new one is better. There is nothing revolutionary about the new design, it actually reminds me of all the other web 2.0 designs formats popping up everywhere, but it is a good improvement from the original design!

    cheers

    new site is more accessible as text is scalable in MSIE whereas on the old site the only MSIE-scalable text is the bullet in the resources, and that doesn't include the link that follows the bullet point.

    old design was more attractive and easier on the eye. new design has problems with horizontal scrolling. if you don't see the same prob then i can give u a screen shot.

    I like the new Site I found the old site was plain, the navigation was simple but I felt the design somehow was lacking. I prefer the new site because it looks like a little more thought was put into the design and navigation which made the site comfortable and easy to navigate.

    i think the old site looks better, it is plain and very easy to read, etc. but the new design has:
    1) more professional look
    2) top navigation
    3) adwords-though they need to be better integrated

    things that could be improved:
    1)remove (or make bigger/better) the logo in the upper left...same goes for the logo in the upper left of the main body.
    2) remove some of the "Add your link"
    3) better tell me what i need to do on the site...there is no action that i can take in the main body.
