    Now they both seems quite nice , but I can give you a tip:
    in the Quote void design , if you would make a nice header instead of the black square , it will look much better in my opinion.

    I like the testing one better. The red colors make it look more fresh and professional.
    On the first one.. just one thing. The google ads.. I though they were links.. like the ones above.. :p

    I will be the grumpy grouch and say that I don't like either of them.

    The first one doesn't look that great - plain boring colours, illegal use of images beside ads

    The second one doesn't have a nice sense of flow - I have to look sideways too much to see everything, it should be more up and down. The "columns" so to speak are different widths and sizes, again, breaking any sense of "flow". The colours are alot better on the second design, alot brighter and more cheerful.

    Also keep in mind that a white background with black text is alot better on the eyes.

    Alright, thanks.

    I think I'm going to try and modify the first design using more of the colors from the second one, however it will be mostly white rather than the dark shades of gray. It also won't be so boxy, it will be more curvy like the second one. I'll also try to incorporate the ads into the page better as well.

    I like the second one better. I think it's the red band that makes it stand out ;)

    second design is on the right track, but considering the content, I cant help but think that lighty breezy colors would be worth considering.

    Both are rather good although id go for the original one because it has more navigation to other pages in the menu, hence this is better not only for your visitors finding their way around but its good for SEO as well.

    Best of luck.

    i like the second layout better. it looks more professional while the other one looks like it was made in 1999 or so.
