im workin on a new layout and i've managed to create two layouts so far.

i'd like everyone to say which they like more, what they like/dont like about it, what they would change... you know, general critique stuff...

here they are,
the current one: http://scudworkz.com/current.gif
the green one: http://scudworkz.com...en_complete.gif
the simple one: http://scudworkz.com..._incomplete.gif

so which one you like more?
the simple one is incomplete only cause i feel it doesn't look just right yet, but i cant figure out what to change.

What's up coolaid?!

I think I like the third one best. You are right about it missing something, but I just can't figure out what... I don't really like the blue in the "Active Hover" button, it just doesn't really seem to blend in too well...

And, you already know how I feel about the current one and the green one, both about the same to me...

If you are looking to change the layout, I would go with the third one, and then see how people like it...

But that is just my 2 cents worth :tiphat:

I love how your site is now, great layout, I think you should keep that. I like the third and second, if you were to change it to any I would hope it would be that green one, the third seems a bit plain, but if it got that grey about kinda bit you have on the current one (not in the screen though) it would probably look heaps better.

hmm, TBH i havent been a fan of any of your layouts since err....the one before your current scudworkz layout. (the one with the nav near the header).

I find your layouts very compact, and not really that eye pleasing. But this is just my opinion, i am very for clean, white expandable layouts atm :)

However, that kind of rounded breadcrumb style area you have on the green one, i like that :P

There was one layout for scudworkz that i reeeaallly liked quite a while ago, i totally forget what it was like now lol.

As for these layouts, with the exception of the already mentioned - not a great fan :P

don't change your layout
keep the original one

the green one has NO contnrast at all and it's hard to read
the other is too empty and the things doesn't fit at it

I would just change the pink at your original website to Light green or yellow
the pink doesn't fit the black and silver at your current one

Myoto is right, except about the pink - I like pink! :lol:
The third one ain't bad, but your current is a bit better.

I think your green one has got the best structure and layout. But I agree it doesin't have the contrast. Try to get the colour theme of your original layout onto that one and I think you would be looking at something really nice.

That one is nice, I still like the current more, but that one is the best out of the new.

Not a fan of the second one, too much green for me. Although the first one, I like the header a lot, third one I like the navigation.

I like the current layout.
The second one is alright I really don't care for the menu.
The third is good, I like the simplicity of it.

Its good, again, but im still not a fan of your "2 section" style of layouts :huh:

For that reason i wont say i love it but it looks pretty good :(

Merge it into a one section fluid layout and i'll up my praise lol

The third one is definately the best, but I think you have the skill and talent to improve on it. Get some inspiration, and perfect it.
