I need an honest assesment of which of these designs are the best IE which would compel you to try their product. Please dont do an "They all suck" If you feel that way...then tell me which one sucks the least.

Number 1 (http://www.netmediazone.net/hbb2/)


Number 2 (http://www.netmediazone.net/hbb2b/)


Number 3 (http://www.netmediazone.net/hbb2c/)


Number 4 (http://www.netmediazone.net/hbb3/)

I like the layout/font choices of hbb2b with the upper graphics of hbb2. Hbb2b seems cleaner/easier to read, and I like the depth the additional background gives the first choice.

I think that's number 1 and 2, respectively - different numbers seemed to come up when I opened them.

They all look very nice, but my opinion is that "Number 1" or "Number 3" look best, I just can't decide whether or not I like the extra top border on "Number 1" or the shorter one on "Number 3."

In any case, my vote would be for either of those. Maybe you could have made this a poll?

hbb2 looks visually pretty good at the top and bottom.

They're all trying to force too much in too little space though. An average user is going to look at any of those and be massively overwhelmed. Someone like Amazon can get away with that because you go there looking for something, but a niche seller should lead people in low-stress (i.e. not dozens of ambiguously differentiated links to choose from immediately).

Working on your birthday? Shame :)
So my girlfriend and I agree, #2 and #4 are probably your best ones. Kinda like how Sanchek said, the other ones just seem a bit busy. People are coming to the website for the products moreso than the website layout, so the less ornamentation seems to work better. I'm partial to #2 over #4, she's partial to the reverse ... and probably out of everyone here she's a lot closer to their target audience than the rest of us.

I agree with the 1 and 3 assesment. good point to make is keeping the "go green" box at the top since anything "Green" is desirable these days.

Number 3, it's not too "busy" with the design, and number 4 is too lightly colored kinda hurts the eyes.

I like #1, the frilly banner attracts my attention moreso than the none frilly ones.

Look at it in 1024x768 though, which is who most of their customers will be running, and the frilly banner takes up 50% of the screen.

Maybe it's my colorblindness so I apologize but all three looked exactly the same to me... They all look very nice by the way.

Wife likes #2 though.

Number 1 The big flowers caught my eye immediately....

Maybe it was the placing?

Ouch.

Never forget the principles of CRAP.

Contrast: text must be easy to read. Colors should "mean" something, so that all similarly colored things have something in common.
Repetition: Pages throughout the site should look similar. Horizontal toolbars should be repeated on the bottom if the top bar scrolls off when you are there.
Alignment: Center alignment is bad web design. Use tables.
Proportion: More important things should be bigger, less important things should be smaller.

Lets start with the biggest offender, number 4

Contrast: the white text is hard to read in the light green background.
Repetition: Lacks the toolbar on the bottom that mimics the one on top.
Alignment: None of the pictures are aligned. The top toolbar is center aligned. Yuck.
Proportion: The most important thing on the page is the flowers? If the main picture needs that much explanation, it's failing it's job of conveying a ton of information in seconds. The list of products is a tiny picture on the side, and has contrast issues along the left.

The other 3 are slightly better, but i'm not a fan of the color scheme.

Of the choices, number 3 is the best IMAO.
