Hi Francis, Probably you should start by defining what you want on a new site, what you want to improve e.t.c that will help your developers/designers in developing the new site. I like the design( minus the menu) of the home page but the transitions need to be smoother and sharper, I am getting overlapping text every so often. The inner pages with the monotonous accordion, grey on black text on heading and orange on black text are not very appealing to a reader. The logo looks forced (by the way why isn't the logo on the home page?) Then site designed by Francis on a corporate site is an absolute no-no Finally the second site does not appear to be in a CMS, is that the direction you want to go? Kind regards On Thu, Jan 30, 2014 at 8:35 PM, Benjamin <anangwe@gmail.com> wrote:
I think you made the second website with a developers perspective which i based on functionality and results
hook up with a designer and come up with a tight concepts playing around with the architecture then build from the designers point of view.
Thus the second website is mainly a website made with an aspect of a portfolio someones portfolio a celebrity ETC but its not organization based which handles content more than images.
Thus start from the bottom up and you will be surprised how well a concept you can come out with.

Old one is by far superior... The new one looks like someone wanted to show their skills at fancy techniques that have ended up not playing well together...

Old is gold :-) The older one is better in terms of usability

@Francis, i think your initial post went straight into my spam folder, maybe it did the same for other users, hence the zero responses.

Same here, I'd have preferred you develop onto the old site, looks better and us more user friendly. The new one you are working on looks like a template a photographer's site would look like.

I personally prefer the previous one. For me it is simpler and easier to navigate..This is from a user's point of view. As a developer though, I appreciate the work done on the second site.
