Sorry, have to agree with others, out of all three I prefer the original! I asked my partner too, she's better a colour/white balance etc. and she preferred it too! Of the two new designs I preferred A.

I am with the others in liking the original design, but I think design A is much stronger especially in terms of its calls to action in the content area.

However, I don't think you could lift them and fit them with the outer of the current site. I think they need the frame of the green design to balance them.

I would be inclined to go with design A but lose the far outer vertical green bars altogether as I think that would make the page look lighter and easier on the eye.

So it's design A for me with the slight modification of removing the far outer vertical green bars.

Hope that helps,
Peter

I had a look round your site last week (nosey moo that I am ) and really liked it (LOVED this page especially http://www.alocalprinter.com/uk/people/ ) so was somewhat surprised to see this post today. I agree with the others that your current design is much more visually appealing, but could perhaps do with some tweaking, just to keep it fresh.

Not too keen on the new designs - I can see they're good designs in themselves, but green really doesn't do it for me I'm afraid, especially the darker shades. Would be an instant turn-off... though I do love that funky little tree illustration, so keep that somewhere

I still prefer the original design of the site. It looks more clean and professional compared to the new design. But if you still want to redesign it, I think Draft B looks better compared to draft A.

You arguing about colours with me again ?

Ray - I think some tweaks with the colours is all it needs. Looking beyond the first hurdle shows that the layout and formating is good.

Make the site open up a bit more (like open plan living) meana that the blend should flow better between the colour area and the light space.

Hope this helps.

I much prefer the old design and the rounded corner/shaded containers..rather than the rectangles of the new design

..the only thing I think needs some attention is the first paragraph of copy which could do with "spicing up" to engage the reader more.

Also most conversion studies show that a human face helps on a home page too.

I am going to go against everyone here and say that I like B best with a few little tweaks.

1. Instead of having the green for the side bar and the footer background, have it white as this is where all your text/content will be and so you will want to be easily readable.

2. leave the green background as I think this will look great with the green tones in the main header.

Plus I do have to say Ray, I am not a great fan of your current styled drop down list with the rounded corners.

good work Khalid & Gareth

I also prefer the original as i like white space but the second of the two new ones is the best i think
