Site designs

The first two designs from Robert at XSet are up and viewable. Please take a moment to check them over and comment on the looks:

Elegance (black/white)
Dreamy (blue/orange)

Also, still taking feedback on the design done by The Bartender:

Madfish Stylings

There'll be one more style by Robert coming up and eventually we'll have a nicely skinnable site for your viewing pleasure.

2 Ooh! Ooh! The blue orange one. I loved it loved it loved it. Pick that one. Please?

3 Or better yet, you can be totally non-committal about it and just offer them up as "skins" and enable your users to determine which skin they want to see your site in. (By saving the SkinID value in a cookie)

4 I'm going to side with Helen. I expected to like the black-and-white better--I just normally love black-and-white--but the blue and orange, I don't know, it's just more "you." Or "your site." Or . . . I don't know. Anyway, pick that one.

6 Very nice indeed! I like Elegance myself, but I'd go for a sans-serif font. (I'm planning to change Ambient Irony when I get some time.)

7 I like the Elegance one the best, but the Dreamy is also spiffy. Try the styleswitcher here http://www.alistapart.com/articles/phpswitch/ easy to set up too.

10 Very nice graphics on the Elegance site. I agree with Pixy regarding the sna serif font. I'll go look at the other one and leave a comment on that one in a sec.

11 Nice graphics on this one too. I know everyone's a critic but here goes: the banner grahic should go across the width of the page, I still like to do the expanding/collapsing extended entry because I don't like being thrown to another page, I like the show comments script also for the same reason. Plus the comment windows always take too long to open and what if I just wanted to read and not comment? Of course those are not aethetic issues... more of a functionality issue. Nice job Mr Robert!!!

12 Hey!!!! where's the beef? No cow pics on ether of those designs unless I'm completely blind. Actually, I'd like to make a couple of design changes on the page I did. I don't really like the three column layout much. Same basic things with some small tweeks in a ywo column layout. Let me know if you want to do that.

13 I already know my bias...I really like the Elegance (BW) version. I was surprised to find I liked the blue/orange version a lot too though. Really, you wouldn't go wrong with any of 'em. And having the choice of all three as skins would be an embarassment of riches. Well done designers!
