My site layout poll

Post by Bruce N H »

Hey all,

I've been trying to spiff up the coding of my website (in very very small steps), and would like your input. Do you prefer the one column version (the old version):
http://www.ozbricks.com/bricktales/
or the two column version (ooh . . . tables . . . scary):
http://www.ozbricks.com/bricktales/indextrythis.html
It's all the exact same content, just a slight difference in layout.

Well, as a long time fan of your site, my opinion might be a little biased, but I prefer the one column. The two column version seems very cramped, and as if you changed it for the sake of changing it, not to give the site a simpler layout. The other problem I find with it (which threw me off at first) is when I looked at it, I naturally assumed all the "My Creations" would be in the first column, and it took a look back at the original layout to figure out what went where. I think to new viewers it would seem as if everything in the right column is "Off Site" material.

However, with some modifications, I think this might end up working very well for the site.

And of course, this is just my opinion...

Two columns allows for less scrolling, no one likes excessive scrolling. :wink: I like the site either way, but the two columns work better for navigation.

Both look good, so its hard to say, really. Biut if I had to choose, i'd go wtih 1 column, because I like the open, no need to compress look about it. (And my mice have scroll buttons, so scrolling isn't a big issue) :D

I like two column.

But I like the content better than either layout, so it doesn't really matter in the end to me. :)
