Which design do you prefer of these two?

[abilstein]

Here are two possible designs for a technology company that deals with non-profits, government agencies, and social service organizations.

Actual names have been removed to protect the innocent.

The company colors are teal, yellow, and gray, so there is no changing that.

Which design do you prefer, and why?

I like the first one better without all the square boxes around the search feature. At top right.

and Id like to see them both centered to the left.

nice work.

The second. Much cleaner, simpler and moe effective.

second, but make the transition from the template to the bg color a lot smoother, its way to harsh now.

2nd one is easier to follow, but the first one i like the layout and overall appearnce better

so i like the 1st one more

I prefer the second due to the lighter colours..it also flows better. Im not a fan of dark sites.

I like the first one better, actually. It looks far more complete, and I'm sure you could make the background much lighter. I honestly think the first one would look far better than the second, with a new and lighter background.

the 2nd one has my vote.

First one, but it's close.

You should run a poll.

Come on guys/girls, posts around here have been getting extremely short and brief these days.

Guilty!

I prefer the image of the young boy. Looks more like a "helping service-type" site when that image is used IMO.

Couldn't have said it better myself Coastalguy

There. :tu:
I've just been getting irritated with the recent three-word post: "I like it." More expanded and comprehensive opinions are what we're all looking for.

I like the 2nd one, the navigation and overall design are a lot cleaner. The 1st design is nice as well, but it doesn't seem to flow as well as the 2nd IMO.

However, both are really professional looking.

 

[everest]

I like first one. It leaves better impressions.

 

[Coastalguy]

It's close!

First one = 5
Second one = 6

2nd a lot more space and more room to add content and text and don't forget these days content is everything

Good luck

 

[oblivious]

I prefer the first. I just looks like the designer went to more effort to make a pleasing presentation on it.

 

[VyzeR]

second one looks more professional and matching of the subject of site
