You guys did hear about A/B testing didn't you ?

Just in case they haven't: https://www.google.com/analytics/siteopt/exptlist?account=50...

Engineers should be data driven.

I 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!

I 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.

I 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...

You should give it a try on http://pickfu.com Other HNers find it useful for A/B testing design mockups.

Your vote link doesnt work.

I like #1 more. The green CTA button is really nice.

Your poll needs a neither + why field.

so you want me to add some JavaScript code before knowing what it does? Not good idea.

The 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.
