I know it's not coded yet... but could you please critique this design fo usability and aesthetic things. Does the data look clear and not mushed together? Do you like having tabs? Is the nav good at all?

Any Suggestions? Thanks a lot.

A web-site's value is based on how well it solves the visitors's problems. That comes down to content and usability, and how well the author/designer implements them. So until there is coded content, all you have is a pretty picture. The picture is pretty and it shows promise.

cheers,

gary

Ah! I can see them now

I really like the one with the tabs - clean and professional looking - nice.

To me - it kind of looks incomplete without the tabs - they just seem to 'complete' it somehow

EDIT: But to be honest - they both look great - so it doesn't really matter

I think both styles look good. Though if you go without the tabs, you should still indicate which link is the active one. Usually by graying it out.

I'm curious what the "recent outbounds" are. Recently modified websites?
