Site Design - I need your opinions...

[Louie]

Hey guys,

I need you opinions on something. I am having a blog designed for the site. The guy I hired to do the blog design also designed a new header for the site. It's just a mock-up design. But, I am not sure if I like it or not. I am also not sure it looks all that professional. I need your guys' honest opinion of this header design. Do you like the design or do you think the old header design looks better.

Please reply and tell me what you think. Please don't tell me you like it if you don't. I really need some guidance here because I don't know if it's right for this site and I am not sure its quality work

So... Here is the header/blog design ;

I like the current one better. This new one looks a little cheap in my opinion.

Louie,
This is far from my area of expertise, but... The new header looks much more modern than the old one. I like the way they did the sportsbook promotions all the way at the top and the tabs to other area's of the site look better too. Other than that however, it doesn't look significantly different, and if it costs more to have the banner redone with the blog, then I'd probably vote for it isn't worth it. The new one looks close enough to the old one that I'd say it isn't worth any extra money, but it looks more modern and if he'll "throw it in" with the blog, then I'd say we could use a little switch up around here, go for it.

Yea I'm not so sure I like it. I think just go with a blog with the old header. BW, I did want to talk to you about blogging for the site when I finally get the blog up if you want to make a few extra bucks. this site desparately needs more content to increase traffic.

Thanks BPD & BW...I decided against it...
