So we're looking at making some changes to our site...We almost hate to do it since it's actually done quiet well, but we want a higher close rate. Do you like the new look better, or old? The new is NO WHERE close to be completed, so most of the links are dead.

New eHDMI.com Site

The Current Site

Thanks!!

Sorry to say - but I like the look of the old site much better. There is more whitespace and there is more color.

Maybe you caan add those elements to the new site.

Me too. I like the old site better. If you want to display products do it half way down the page after the descriptive text. I hate when sites shove products in your face and just expect you to know what they are. Or go for the old WWAD - What Would Amazon Do - they spend heaps on vistor spend responses. Today they have products in the middle column but with a good description, not just products and prices. Notice the menu in the left column and specials in the right column - like your existing site.

I think you can liven up the logo and the site with a bit of professional design but keep the 'same products, just a lot cheaper' - that's gold! Just needs a bit more vibrancy and life without going over the top.

Hey, if it's working for you, improve on what you got rather than reinventing the wheel.

its a close call. my opinion is sway towards the old site as the new site doesn't fit fully into my browser window. its slightly too wide.

nice design though. you might want to try and change the text font from times to soemthign else ariel etc.

Looks like you've taken down your beta site... the link gave me the contents of your beta directory...

http://www.ehdmi.com/:
On the banner in the upper part of the page, I see the self-advertising as an outer-advertising. Thus, I tend not to watch the message. I think that's bad Wink

You put LIVE HELP with caps, and you say beneath him:
is now closed.
I don't think it's meant to be funny, but sure is. Smiling

In the menu you have put in bold some very weird stuff. Shouldn't the actual content links be in bold?

The tables are to close together. If you are going to have a border on each table try and giving them some breathing room between each other.
