POLL: Help me choose a mock layout for my website

Numero Uno

#1, if I had to choose.

Both are very template-monster like and in my opinion could be created very easily. There just is nothing "unique" in them that would make them worth $500 (to me.)

1

 

[virtuamike]

Personally, neither. Don't like templates.

If forced, I'd go with #1.

 

[cronos]

#1

Honestly both suck - neither look professional. Looks like something that you might see on an XBOX community website.

Why do you need a designer? Can't you just buy a few templates and edit them with photoshop yourself? Then, just find a flash coder to do whatever flash thing you want.

 

[screw3d]

Not a fan of templaty sites like those two.. and from what I see, both will involve a lot of nested tables and sliced images

But if I have to choose, #1 with less useless pics and and cleaner menu.

Given the choice, #1 by a couple of light years.

#1.

I like #2 a lot, but the first website has a much broader appeal.

Normally you need a designer to create a unique site for you. Unforunately those are not unique sites, they are slightly modified templates.

For $500 a lot better can be done.

1 But the font on the bottom of it makes my eyes want to scream.

both look like cheap templates you could get on template monster.com.

im more of a fan of the simplistic layouts, but thats me (adobe/ibm sites)

but i feel 1 is better.

Are you really stuck with those 2, or can you find someone else to do it?

Quite a few people are telling you that both are bad, but you don't seem to be replying to saying anything. A good website is one that attracts the buyer, you need to value the buyers opinion to create the optimal site.

#2 looks cool, but #1 would be easier to use

 

[Modeps]

Honestly, I would choose neither.

 

[Colt45]

1 looks nicer, but I don't really like either.

I'm more of a function before form guy when it comes to web pages.

 

#1 looks nicer, but I personally hate websites like that. All looks and minimal content/useability.

 

[geckojohn]

So, what do you guys recommend then? I'm really open up to any ideas..
i just want to get something that grabs the buyers attention.

Any ideas or color choices? Thanks

Okay, just edited original message with two more mockups.

 

[DeviousTrap]

3 and 4 are both better than 1 and 2. They still have a template like feel to them, but if I had to choose I'd say 3 would be the best, with #4 in second place.

 

[clamum]

Three, simple and easy to read.

 

[geckojohn]

Added two new website mockups. Any suggestions with color choices? THanks
