I have to admit, I am loving Sean’s design. It lends to the side of readability, and makes it easy to find various types of content.

If it is too generic, a little bit of CSS goodness can spruce it up as time goes on. IMHO.

Sean, please release it. Good job!

I think the comments for Sean’s mockup pretty much tell the story for why I wouldn’t have chosen it. Things like “in fact it’s probably one of the best wordpress themes I’ve ever seen.”.

It’s too generic, it looks like a WP theme. Something outta the box. It’s nice, would make a great theme for WP to ship with, but has no personality, IMO.

Sean’s one is a lot better…

I’m with the majority but what really matters is what Ryan fills the new design with - his thoughts and experiences.

That’s what I come here for.

And another one for Sean ;-)

Being a parttime developer and designer myself, i really like that clean, simple - yet professional - approach.

Sean’s is very neat and clean but still I prefer Grant’s. and not just because his first name is really cool. Something about Sean’s design looks too much like every other site to me. drop shadows, columns, tabs, yawn.

To be fair to Sean, I did just redesign one of my sites to have drop shadows and columns and tabs.

If you don’t mind, would you provide a larger thumbnail each of the design, particularly Sean’s.

Thanks in advance.

Congratulations Grant!

Good to see an Aussie (and even better a Perth boy) mixing it with rest. Go you good thing.

I couldn’t agree more with everyone else commenting on here - Sean’s is absolutely the best. Where are all your current ads and promotions going to go? They’ve simply been eliminated in Grant’s concept. And…to say there’s not much “design” in Sean’s is a pretty silly comment. I don’t know what you would consider “design” but it’s definitely got the most class, the best information layout and is the easiest to navigate and follow.

In any event, it’s your site.
