Group Website Template Design

Post by Anubis »

I've now completed two different designs for the group website template which Quiz proposed in another vote. Time for you guys to have your say, which design do you like best and why?
Why you like one design best isn't really a necessity but if you could include it i'd be grateful as it will help me to improve my designs in the future.
LAYOUT 1 - http://www.avidgamers.com/sstrg/oldtemp.html
LAYOUT 2 - http://www.avidgamers.com/sstrg/temp.html

The poll will stay open for one week.

I prefer the first one's layout. Having a left, right and center just seems to look better imo. :)

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

Question: Why not just give people who want to add new groups the choice between the two?

Because then we are maintaining two sets of pages.

1 template, the group can recode to their hearts content after they get set up :)

For those of you that noticed that the poll closed, I haven't forgotten about this. Since the result was a draw i'm left in the position of choosing the template myself, as of yet i haven't selected the one i want used, so bear with me. I'll have decided sometime in the next couple of days.

I didn't get to vote :P

Template two though.
Definately less lines = better.
