Hello everyone, and thank you for reading my post. I am designing a website for my design firm, and CANNOT decide between two templates. I have had soo much trouble choosing and these are the 20th designs I have come up with. I want my site to communicate creativity, artistic design, and professionalism. I want to know which site you guys like better, and which site you would feel comfortable sending your design business too.. Thank you all for your time.

I like the second one (water) better... But I think it could be better by adding a nicer/clearer navigation menu. Something that stands out a bit more.

Hi,

I agree with pizdusInc on the second design choice and menu. I also would rather read body text on a white background. Just my opinion but I would probably box the main content in white with a 20 to 30px padding.
Looks like a good start for a great design.
