- wakeupthedawn 17y agoThe first one seems friendlier. The second seems a bit more professional. I think you need to make it so when the arrow opens the bubble it doesn't cover up other information on the page.
- cscotta 17y agoI like home2 much more. The contrast is nice, and the choice of gray gradient works well with the bright blue. The spacing and alignment is a bit odd (e.g., the placement of the [ Try It ] button relative to the open space to the right, but it's very simple and you have a well-defined call to action. Then again, maybe I'm just averse to the giant, bold, black capital letters in ?p=home. Either way, it would be good to have a designer tighten up the design you choose. Both are great work for people without a strong design background, so nice job!
- ashleyw 17y agoI much prefer the first, it's far friendlier. The second looks a bit unfinished and cheap if I'm honest - lens flare? Purple to gray gradient? Glossy icons? Eeek...
- hajrice 17y agoYour vote link doesnt work. I like #1 more. The green CTA button is really nice.
- appathy 17y agoI like the second better because the capitalization makes it easier to read. "HELP BUBBLE CAN SAVE THE DAY" vs. "Help Bubble can save the day" I didn't realize your product was called Help Bubble when I read the text on the first website and I was confused. I thought maybe there was a can of bubbles that needed help saving the day.

- dmix 17y agoYour poll needs a neither + why field.

- justinchen 17y agoYou should give it a try on http://pickfu.com http://pickfu.com Other HNers find it useful for A/B testing design mockups.
- csomar 17y agoso you want me to add some JavaScript code before knowing what it does? Not good idea.
