I'd get rid of the picture of the people and put instead a picture of some of the food, or a stock image of people or food... It's the first thing that jumped out at me, too. Loathe wrote: >Dude, fat people don't sell. > ~|

I like the first one as well. It was easier on the eyes and made me want to look around more than the other. What do you ask them when you show it to them? I've found "Do you like it?" to be not so useful. Sometimes, I show somebody the site and then take it away and ask them questions about it t

That's why you always ask more than one person. Design is so subjective. And why you often give the stakeholders opinion a little more weight. They have to live with it. I don't. But, you also need to downgrade the stakeholders opinion a little bit, since sometimes they equate "different" with "be

For me, yeah. The current one IS simple, but so is your idea. The design of the current site does not get in the way of the message. There is TOO MUCH information on the new one. I don't know where to look. The text is too small, the picture is too small. You lost the "punch". The current colors

I like the old one better, too. I'm vaguely annoyed that the width of the site changes from page to page. It's too "jumpy." And, the colors on this one are less appetizing. The old site makes me think "bread and butter" and this one makes me think "techno garble." On 3/5/06, Tony <[EMAIL PROTECTED

I like the old one better. It felt more "homey". This one feels too "corporate". The out of focus pixels/gradations don;t work for me. The new colors are not as friendly. It doesn't feel as "hand crafted" as the old one. Sorry. I really like the old one. On 3/5/06, Tony <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrot
