Hey guys take a look at these two screenshots and tell me which suits you more. I am having difficulty deciding which to choose what to rework etc…

The first one by far. Tho they both seem to have some issues IMO.

First one.

You need to rework your typography however.

sekasi, which do you think is better to go with … I am not feeling the comments. I am so confused as to which to chose the blue one has interactive features and the white one plain and old… and it needs to be more attractive

Well, it’s sort of a choice between fairly decent, but a little old-school (1) and pretty poor, but sort of “new” (2). I’d definitely go for #1 - but make sure you spruce up a few things, especially the typography like Sekasi mentioned.

#1 even though some may say it isn’t web 2.0ish(IMO its a lame term)

a- Because it has more opportunities for the viewer to see more news articles to choose from  
b- it has plenty of useful white space which makes each element on the page stand out and have it own niche  
c- NOT understanding your main nav; ok placement for the page but it doesn’t stand out take out those arrow buttons and stick with a solid serif font with color scheme of jamaican flag  
and if you are a true yardie as you say you will be able to pic the right colors for highlights and etc.

d- get rid of all deep blue except for common hyperlinks; try using a tree green

Sorry if my comments confused you. What I meant with typography is mostly that the overall feeling gets a bit obstructed by the poor choices of fonts.

Add to that the fact that you have like 9 or 10 different typefaces on the front page … dot dot… 🙂

to me the first one has a better flow and seemed to have been designed by someone with a bit more design and layout knowledge than the developer of the second. I may going out on a limb with that presumption but I would be willing to bet that these are not developed by the same person.

And please narrow your font choices down to 1 or 2.

hey thanks guys… yes they were indeed done by two different developers.

However, my problem with the first one is it is a bit dull needs to eb brighter to show some hope. The second one has web 2.0 interface stuff … i suppose the best thing to do is to bring the two in one.

Ya’ll are crazy. The information structure on 1 is a better, but it’s visually ghastly. 2 is skimpy infowise & has an iffy banner, but is much much easier on the eye. jaevion4u- slap the look of 2 onto 1’s skeleton and you’re gold.
