Hey, Which design do you like most from these? http://commondirectory.com/1 http://commondirectory.com/2 http://commondirectory.com/3 http://commondirectory.com/4 Thanks
I think3 is the best as well. I presents your listings very well, and I like the color scheme. Everything sits well in that one.
IMHO #4. In #3 the text is blue on blue which makes it harder to read. But I would make the text darker in #4 as well.
Just my personal opinion ... its a difficult question for a web designer... I am assuming that you want critique on design aspects alone, rather than coding and usability aspects as well. I think #1 is best because I found that my eyes focused first on the content first (the most important part of a web site), so I had a better idea in an instant of what kind of site I was visiting... it takes a surfer just a few seconds to decide whether they like what they see or not, and while stunning graphics can hold the gaze for a moment, its content and layout that really builds visitor stats. From a purely aesthetic point of view, I 'like' #2, but found the load time a tad higher than #1. Unfortunately, I think 3 lacks focus because of the blue on blue with blue, oh and some more blue. Good luck with your site
I'm saying nothing until you announce the winners of the 'Name the Template' thread you had running (this one).
