Should I give my site a makeover?

    I'm thinking about giving one of my sites a bit of a redesign, nothing too dramatic. I just want to lighten it up and declutter it a bit.

    What do you think?

    I like the first better, but only if you make the sidebar more slim, leave the grey color. Also I like it when the sidebar is on the left.

    I like the second one better, because I'm presuming that the smaller top banner means a lot less scrolling. Visually they both look pretty easy on the eye.

    Yeah and it hopefully doesn't distract from the content as much. The site runs on WordPress, so even if I do change the design, I can switch it back whenever I want.

    Any other suggestions/comments on the new design?

    me: I like th green better.
    SHE: I knew it, I'll take the pink one.

    I like the first one better. The pink is great and makes it quite evident that you are targeting women.

    I like the first one better. Pink is fine if you are targetting women.

    Did you do design? Looking for some design work. PM to contact about design.
