    Designs #14, #15... too busy I think, we appreciate the use of white space which makes it easier to focus the visitors attention on the content and purpose of the page... Having a huge strong background image does detract attention and confuse the eye.. #7 nearly works very well, again perhaps a little too over burdened with colour.. We dont like photos or other elements with 'curly' edges.... We do like a compact page that doesnt waste too much space above the fold and uses design elements tastefully and sparingly to get the right ambience while making it very easy to find the visitors area of interest

    Its good to see all these designs.. our client has provided some feedback, he likes particularly design #2: " Could we try list of links on top left - background to have plain blue (same as #4) try dropping in a small image into two of the three boxes below (the 'latest news' without).For the 'why choose us?' box try the image of me in white t shirt & sunglasses (we supplied for the 'about us' ) The 'Jeanneau Sales' box should change to 'Yacht Charter' and try the 'sun odyssey 36i performance' image (as in #4)" No doubt there will be feedback on other designs too, soon

    Thanks for the first entry mbmkdesigns... we are looking for something a lot simpler and more straightforward than this, you dont have to duplicate everything on the existing site.. The essentials are: company and rya logo, phone number, 1 well placed image, buttons or links to sail school, yacht charter, adventure cruises,STCW & PPR, about us, contact, navigation, sales, and then just a short list of 5 bullet points giving the reasons to use us! The whole thing should be compact, clear, professional, and require no scrolling
