John,
I really like option one especially the photo of the month feature but upon reading option two I could see a new person coming to the site and reading that well written and informative piece and becoming really motivated to own a Parker and perhaps joining the PGCA. My only suggestion would be to continue to use the photo of the month winning picture somewhere on the page with option two.

IMO an opening page is the invitation to enter the site. The tabs on the left side give the various major headings that someone coming across the site for the first time can readily access and their only way into the site. Option 2 is great information and what a casual surfer, new forum member or seasoned collector might expect upon clicking "historical information". Both options serve a distinct purpose. IMO Option 1 is a fine way to present the opening page to catch attention with the "Parker of the Month" suggesting there is continuous site activity. Option 2 is a great introduction to the history when clicking on Historical Information. Vote cast. Thanks for asking John.

I agree with Larry, Put option #1 at the bottom of option #2, I like em both
That gives the impression there's something new to see from time to time,encouraging more visits to the site.

I have to agree with Larry. Option #2 is a well written and informative introduction rather than a history lesson. Then again, Option #1 is a beautiful eye-catching picture that changes every month. I see no reason why they can't be both together on one page. Option #1 as the header (as they say,"a picture says a thousand words"), followed by Option #2 (a concise and well written introduction).

John, sorry to add complication, but if you call this Option#3 then it gets my vote.

You mean like this:


Parker Website.....

Actually, after your suggestion and a few calls/e-mails (many thanks to the folks that contacted me - you know who you are ) - let's try that for a while?? I think it serves all the ideas quite well..!

Many thanks - and feel free to post back any comments, OK??

I know, with results like this maybe the PGCA members should be sent to Washington.
