I like the design. Nice and clean with a definite color and style theme going on. I don't think the first logo is bad but it feels too "separated" with the white box inside it. Plus the brands on the right of the logo don't pop enough. I think the second logo is more in tune with your theme and looks more professional. Another thing I like about the second design is the three columns. I don't know why because they're just affiliate logos over there, but it just seems to work better space-wise.

You've got that cool 3-d curved object in the top left corner of your page, and then there's a picture with a white background plopped on top. It just didn't look quite right to me. Maybe if the picture's background wasn't pure white, like the page itself? Maybe if the 3-d border around the white image was more pronounced, or less? Just a suggestion.

They don't strike me as being particularly Apple-ish, then again I'm a Windows user.

Thanks PMJ,

I am confused a little by the following statement

Quote: look at changing the transition between the smooth 3-d graphic and the 2-d picture inside. Make it more abrupt, or less perhaps?

Could you explain that a little better.

I am not sure whether I will end up using either of the two designs, since they do look APPLISH

I prefer the first attempt, the graphic on the second one is much less interesting. Perhaps the first version has been labeled 'cartoonish' because if you look at the tablet the right way, it looks like a face is drawn on it. Also you may want to look at changing the transition between the smooth 3-d graphic and the 2-d picture inside. Make it more abrupt, or less perhaps?

Have you decided which one you are going with?

I wonder if my school servers don't like your IP address ? You never know

I still can't connect both pages time out

I just think that the way the logo is stuck in the corner like that makes the whole page look unbalanced. I think it would be better if that header area (the blue part) spanned the width of the layout - so that it would be as wide as everything else put together. Does that make sense? You could either do a flexible width design, so it fills the whole browser window, or center the layout table in the middle of the screen. I think the latter would be a better option here, because those navigation buttons would probably look lost in space at high resolutions in a flexible design.

Oh, and while I'm at it - those content boxes you have for "main" and "special deals" should be the same width.

You have made a good point Megan. It never connected in my head of the irony of my site. I wasn't meaning to make it look applish, but I guess it turned out that way.

I got confused by one of your comments. Sorry. here are the ones I was confused with.

"What I don't like about this is the way the logo is rounded off in that corner there."

Which one?

With the opera, I don't know why that is doing that also. That is strange. I have some CSS going on with the Login box, but it should only effect the background color of the buttons, text boxes, borders and that should be it.

Are you recommending that I should make it a Flexible site? Like putting the logo across the entire top

Thanks for your comments everyone.
