Default New layout?

Hello Everyone,

I am updating my site with a new name/logo, navigation buttons, and orientation.

I originally was showing some directional arrows at the top of the page to identify the left/right orientation of navigation buttons for Consulting/Internet Links.

You can see the original here: www.usernomics.com.

My question is if this left/right orientation is clear without the arrows when the column headings look like this:

http://www.usernomics.com/testsite/testpage2.html

In other words, is it clear that the consulting is on the left and Resources on the right?

Thanks a lot,

Bob

Hi John,

Thanks for the link to that information.

So, do you think it is clear without the arrows?

Also, what do you think about the new name/logo looking like a button?

Thanks John,

Bob

First I do not understand what you mean with arrows.
About the logo, I can only say that it is too large.
I would suggest you using no more than 295px width, and ideal would be somewhat in the range of 200-250 px.
