    I developed these 2 designs for my site and I'm not sure which one to use. I'm going for a web 2.0 look, something professional but inviting, but still has to be marketable. Please let me know which one you think is better and why. The more specific a critique the better, thanks.

    i'd go with index3. looks better and cleaner and more fluid in the transitions. 2 is a lil boxy and basic/bland

    yea index 3 is much better, index2 is boxy and the text is not very smooth

    Actually, I like #3 as well, BUT, I would still keep your original site, the one that is up right now looks pretty good too!

    But, if you have to re-design, the #3 has some very nice components and your users should be happy :)

    both designs are pretty fine although i like index 3 better is cleaner and fluid, but imho i would recommend replace the smiles leading the 3 info boxes you got there, is not a good idea for the visitor to associate your already nice site with something spamy looking as free smilies

    I like the first sample you listed there, the gradients works well (while the other one lacks gradients) and the content area is more professional (The second one :where the content boxes are: does not look professional at all.. especially with those smilies on there)

    Index 3 looks more clean to me.
    I would go for that one if I where you.

    still index3 its the best from all of them.. its clear and the smiley faces makes it have more impact from the first view. What i think its a lil frustrating is the blurred image in the right side under the header/ maybe you can lose that or replace with something else.. bcuz u have graphic smiley faces and its not good to mix with pictures.. I also don`t like very much the logo :p but well.. thats just me.. u know your work!
    Ok i hope this helps!

    Regards,
    Cris
