Which Design Do You Like Better?

[Dennis Cheesman]

Hi Warriors,

I am trying to decide on two different designs...

I created them both so it is hard to tell which one is best

My wife and kids favored Design #1

Design #1
Here is Design #1

Design #2
Here is Design #2

Please let me know which one you liked the best..

Thanks for your time..

Best regards,
Dennis Cheesman

Dennis, I personally like the second one with the blue. The green is a little distracting and makes me lose focus on the copy.

I personally liked #2 better -- but you could always split-test, no? :-)

Suzanne

[Marie Pugh]

I agree - I liked #2 best.

[annalaurabrown]

I like number 1 better.

[reapr]

Like best and converts best is two different things ... split test.

[johntanyishin]

the second one in blue give a 'softer' feel. but i like the green one better.

JTYS

[Glenn Newsome]

Design #1 for me.

[Mad Dawg]

my vote is the green, looks a lot sharper imho

[Frank Donovan]

If I had to choose, I'd go for #2. But you should definitely split-test.

I'm guessing that your wife and kids aren't your target market.

Hey Dennis:

Both are excellent, but my preference is #2 - it's a little softer on the eyes.

Your Headline copy is excellent - the page layout very professional.

Here's wishing you much success with this.

#1 by a mile. It's not even close. The arrow does it... if you want the blue one to close the gap, add a big RED arrow to the upper right of the blue design.

[ecovergeeks]

I like number #1 the green, it instantly draws my attention and wants me to see what its about.

Thanks
Andy

[Adam Carn]

You should use the graphics of the #1 with the colour theme of #2.

Thanks
Adam

Dennis,

I like Design #1. Perhaps you could try changing the color green for the horizontal bar on left and right of your copy...? At least I won't get my eyes focusing wide...

[Michael Oksa]

I vote for the blue one, because it seems easier on the eyes, the graphic doen't look cheesy (why is there a picture of an equalizer readout on the green page?), and the blue background makes the text area stand out more. In other words, my eye tracks better when reading the text on the blue version.

I think the green one is more glaring, and less focused at the same time. Also, the green bar is too wide, IMHO.

Design #1 is my preference.

To me, it suggests 'Quality'.

[SusanneUK]

I am one of those that like anything that is easy on the eyesight, so yep over a certain age shall we say, so I like number two for that reason, one would have me clicking off if I start straining with my eyesight - but as others have said, it depends who your target market is.

Cheers
Sue

[Dennis Cheesman]

Thanks for all the replies...

I changed the image on number 1 to the chart as well..

I think that made a huge difference.

Dennis

[Anthony Hull]

Number #2 for me bro

[Ross Dalangin]

Hi Dennis,

I like the design 1 also because it focus my attention in the headline but if the Guaranteed Results at the upper right side becomes a neon color on the design 2 then possibly I will read the whole sales letter.

Regards,

Ross

[SuzanneH]

Good idea on the image change! For my eyes though, #2 is still better. (I'm 44, so I guess it all depends on who you're targeting... LOL!)

Suzanne

[Michael Oksa]

If you want people to notice your bright graphics, then #1 gets my vote. If you want people to actually read your message, then #2 gets my vote.

I actually think #1 looks amateurish. The green bar in the background is too wide, there is not enough contrast to set the body of the text off from the background, the name of the site is too small, and the little starbursts look cheesy (to me).

My advice, add a blue arrow like you have on #1 to #2 and see how that looks.

Again, that's just my take on it.

~Michael

[Robertas]

Personally I like the first one, but still number two, like someone else sad - looks more professional. I am not sure, but number two design looks very familiar to PPC Classrom 2.0 and Commission Blueprint sales letter designs

[Marhelper]

Both look good but I prefer #2.

I totally agree - my first impression when I opened #1 is that it was harsh - which made me instantly feel like it was hypey. #2 is softer as others have mentioned but does need some good solid graphics.

I wonder if the blue on the side bar was much lighter color, almost grey/blue - would be interesting to see....

Anyway, all in all, lookin good and great content!

[radiantorganics]

one other thing I forgot to mention...

The title in #2 is hard to read - if you use Impact font - I suggest you capitalize the T and I only perhaps, OR, you separate the two words a wee bit.

[kevin campbelle]

I prefer #2. It is really easier on the eyes.

Wow- - I had the opposite reaction! The green forced my eyes to the copy and interested me in reading it. Sort of like how a painter uses color to draw the eye to certain places - the great painters do this on purpose and can predict where the eye will fall first, second, third, fourth based on how they played with color, light, and composition. The blue was uninteresting and if I were browsing on the net, I would have clicked away from the second one without paying it a second thought.

Should probably split test this! It seems that we're divided. You can still achieve the same affect with the first one with a different color - something not as sharp and easier on the eyes. I think it was more the design than the color itself that drew me. In comparison, the second one seemed flat. The first one is more dynamic and forces the eye to the copy immediately, particularly the headline. I scrolled down the page halfway on the second one before I realized I didn't even process where the headline was.

[Dennis Cheesman]

Thanks for all the opinions

I guess I will go with design #1 and maybe test design #2

Dennis

[lgibbon]

Yep no 1 for me too.
And by a long way the better of the 2.

[Tracy Yates]

My vote also goes for number 1. It is a little distracting, but sometimes distractions can be fun

Tracy

[WebSlicers]

it's #2 for me. i especially liked the signature thingy.

[RobInCharlotte]

#1 - It has more white space. The all blue background has a cheesy look to it.

[Steven Carl Kelly]

The arrow on #1 is what did it for me. Instantly focused my attention on the headline. #2 is too soft for me and blue is so over-done on the Web.

FYI, I'm 46 years old.

[Dennis Cheesman]

Thanks a lot, I really like the Arrow also..

Everyone says it draws their eyes right to the headline

And I do believe that is what I am looking to do

Dennis

[intellect22]

Hey Dennis,
I am going with #2 becuase I personally like the background to be a different color than the sales page. I liked the header in # 1 though it WAS a little distracting but not too bad, however the all white background was too bright. The blue is softer on the eyes when reading.

Kevin Brown

[Dennis Cheesman]

What if I added a light green background to change the bg from the salespage?

I did it here what do you think?

With light green background!

Dennis

Not so keen on that.
I think if you need any colour background
a light silver grey.
But I still prefer the white.

[Dennis Cheesman]

Ok, I tried a light grey background it makes the salesletter stand out a little more I think..

I wonder though should it be light grey or white?

Dennis

[energyguy]

If you are wondering about background colors, I would not go with white. White can be too bright and draw someone away from the words in your copy.

[mario2001]

Actually i prefer design #1



Mario

[jasong]

It's like comparing stomernets colors with ppc classrooms colors.

My own personal preference, the green is more attention grabbing, but at the same time, the blue is much easier on the eyes and usually converts well.

Gotta just test it man.

Jason Gazaway

[TashylaB]

I like the first one better. The red, white, and blue scheme is a little ordinary, so the green background caught my attention as soon as the page loaded.

[Suthan M]

Design 2 is my choice

[Midnight_Eden]

Definitely number 1 - it really grabs attention.

[Jose Delgado]

I like number 2 as well.

[Bon508]

Although I usually like blue more than green, I like your green design #1 better.

It jumps out and looks very sharp; it's eye-catching and says "Hey, this is important stuff - read it!"

The blue one looks like so many other sites that all it says to me is "Blah."

But both are nice work!

[Dmitry]

Blue one. Period.

[BrianMcLeod]

Number 1 draws me into the headline more directly.

Number 2 gives me a more congruent, friendlier vibe.

Both look great. Test 'em both.

The deck looks great. Perfect, actually.

The body copy needs some work. Make some sales and let's write the rest of this bad boy, Dennis...

Best,

Brian
