Need help deciding on templates
I'm trying to decide which look I should use when I design my site.
Should I use the bar look (Web Hosting 03) seen here where the header is a large bar that stretches across the page and the content is beneath it. Or should I use the rounded look (Web Hosting 05) seen here. I'm not going to use these templates; they are just examples so I can decide which direction I want to take when designing my site for web hosting. Which do you think looks more professional or appealing? |

I like the designs, both look professional, but I would go with the header stretching across the screen, but then again I have a weakness for those types out layouts and love to see them.
The rounded one is really nice, but I feel it sets a limit to the body and content, while the first doesn't. My personal opinion of course. Good luck with which ever you choose to work with. =) |

Thanks for the feedback Roxy.
Here's another site using the stretching header bar look: www.jaguarpc.com And here's another using the rounded look: www.lunarpages.com |

I personally like the stretch look. Both are well design, but my problem with the second example is the space around it is the first thing I look at where the bar one coves the excess space and you can look directly at the site. The white is much better than the darker color.
