Hi Ruby,

Of the three homes pages you showed us, I would choose Home 1.

I appears you only have color, text size and positioning abilities in your website design options.  I am assuming this because that is all I see here. 

If you would like to use other features, you might try another website design package, some are free.  If you are interested let me know.

Dear Pauline,

In Direct Response Marketing, as well as Search Engine Optimization, It is more important to have a simple more readable site. 

With regards to SEO, what some do not know is that if you have graphics behind type, or too many graphics, the search engines may not be able to pick up your keywords or metatags that are in your site. They sometimes get overlooked due to the graphics.

With respect to Direct Response Marketing, If you cannot get the reader to read the text, which should lead someone to the close, (ordering) the chances of them ordering aren't as great.  So the most important thing is readability! 

If your site is too cluttered with grapics flashing everywhere, people can get confused.  They don't know what to read first for example.

Thank you for the input.  This is what this forum is about.  Copywriting and marketing tips.  Thanks again!

Take care,

Ruby

Hello Ruby,

I liked Home 2 best, but it was hard to read.  I have a vision problem, so light colored type or even black type if it is one of the skinny types is hard for me to read.  This type is Verdana size 4.  This I can read and most of the time what I use.

Dear Avis,

Thank you for the Insight.  I will keep that in mind.  So that way when I redo my site, I will make sure that all people can read it. 

Thanks Again!

Ruby
