Web page design help!

Help!
I was working on a site, and it looked good, but due to a lack of some photos and media I was forced to change a part of my webiste… now, with the deadline approaching fast, the website still ugly and I am am fresh out of ideas.

So I turn to the Kommunity for ideas:
I need to change the TOP of the website so it looks good, the part with the logo, and the photo… here are two ideas I worked with, and disliked both…

http://www.specialolympicshawaii.org/new/volunteers/volunteers.htm

http://www.pacific-emarket.com/special_olympics/RETRY-SO/final/volunteers/volunteers2.htm

are pictures supposed to load. if not, an example would help.

Dont make me bump this!

both the sites are good !!!
Y do u dislike them both , u have done a good joB.
Continue with the second one.

I dont like both of them… the top part, where the picture of the group is and the logo… those are my attemps to improve it, but I still dont like it

dont use 2 quotes

don’t write the foundation wuote in the green bar, one quote should be fine

I think the header would look much cleaner if the people were the only part of the picture. Make the background of the pic white. Then you could make that special olympics logo to the right larger.

or if u really want 2 quote put in flash in the IMage .
wat u do is make the image fade out from left to right, adn on right let your logo come and have flash on left hand side…

Try it out.
I guess that would look good.
I guess.

nah, I dont like using flash there… it makes it look too… cheese

wa… bump for the night crew to check out…

The nav would look better on the left side. Also, your subsection links do not belong in the header. That gives the site a very inconsistenent look. All of our headers should be consistent. Another thing: you should put “Volunteers are the backbone of our program” in the same place as the special olympics oath is on your main page.

i looked at the 2nd one

-i think the nav is a little to plain and doesnt stand out enough. maybe put it closer to the top? or shrink the banner?

-i dont like the extra white at the bottom of page

-maybe put another nav bar at the very bottom
