Made a website and can't choose the home page final view

Hello everyone!

Here is my website: http://www.webandpeople.com


I think that home page is not perfect and asking you to decide

this is an alternative variation :

One advantage of the lighter version without the black bars is that it blends the cloud effect into the page. I really like that. The weak link of this version though is the logo so even though it looks better it comes off a little generic because the company name isn't quite anchored as much as it should be. If you switched the lettering placement "hosting, design, web devlopment, etc" with the logo and scaled the logo up the focus would change and the logo would anchor.

The black bar version also looks nice, but something about it just seems like I've seen it before so the other comes across as more unique and creative to me. Also the white has less fluff. There's a promo banner and meaty information directly below whereas the black bar version has a promo header area and a promo banner area below.

Maybe instead of having the girl at the top of every page you could create a window that showcases some samples of your work. It seemed like the site was a little thin on product examples which if I were a client would suggest to me a level of inexperience, but this is easily fixed with more, easy to access examples.

Good start there :)

The alternative version. Without hesitation.

And try using more of the green you have in your logo, would add a nice contrast touch. Anyway, excellent work, I really like the light and professional look of the design. Great use of the image with the woman, it's conveying a nice feeling, and the blue sky really adds to the design.

Thanks to both of you!
About clouds in the page!! yes, looks like you are the first one who sees the same way I do :).

Accoding to alternative page - I have rebuilt it a little (well not very little)

The idea is to force visitors to dialog from the first page. Couple of questions which in result will show more exact informations depending on answers.
