Default New site visuals for alocalprinter.com - feedback appreciated

As some of you may know A Local Printer is being re-coded from the ground up by Khalid and Gareth at Pixelcraze and part of the project invloves a visual makeover.

I'd appreciate feedback on the 2 proposed drafts compared to the current site

Current Site





Draft A - Smaller Masthead with Larger Logo





Draft B - Larger Masthead with Smaller Logo

1st impression for me is that they might be a bit too green in terms of the bg and sidebar.

In general though they are nice and clean

I prefer A myself, plus there will be more above the fold.

I would say that the current site visual is much MUCH nicer than the other two.

I also think that all the green is a bit overpowering.

Out of the 2, I like B best, as there is more variation in the green at the top.

Now I know this may sound slighly bonkers coming from someone whose own website is greener than a green thing on a green day, but I think the two new designs have far too much green.

Much like the others, I prefer your original site, Ray.

When you mentioned you were having your site redesigned I had my question look face looking at the PC

I think I asked why then but didn't get an answer

I also vote to stick with what you have

If it aint broke........
