Web site layout

[scootermcq]

Just trying to play with the layout of my home page. Of course, the image will be a slider that plays several images. Which of the pages below does everyone prefer?

One idea:


Another:


Current:

I voted idea 1. I like the way you have the titles along the top.

Idea 2 is more balanced.

I like the logo of #2 but the layout of #1
Except, the tabs of #1 need to be centered on the page.. they look off balance.

Idea 1 is good but like candleman said, it's unbalanced. I would simply center the nav and header.

I went off center, because everything was centered on the existing page and it just felt too sterile and proper. I kinda broke away from being symmetrical on purpose. I don't know if it worked, but that is where I was going.

I appreciate the feedback so far, and I am taking it all into consideration

Thanks guys

lulz.

There's no problem with trying things, but to me it does feel unbalanced. Perhaps if you have the menu in the middle and something more than just the Facebook logo to balance it out.

I put the off center one on a sub domain, so people can see it in comparison to the current page.

My wife definately prefers this one, even though it is unbalance like me

The menus just go to the existing pages, so it is really just the home page that I am looking at right now.

One other thing... Huge shout out to BuddhaPi for pointing out the code I am using for my slider. Much nicer than the older one, and I will definitely be using it with whatever I use.

Glad I could suggest something useful as opposed to wiseassed remarks..
