Webpage Design

I've just started the massive job of giving my website a "new look". And not before time I hear you all say.

I have to get it right because it will go across all my social media, tell the world what you can expect from the Liz Fielding experience, the feel of my books.k

So far, I've found a couple of images that I like and my lovely webmistress has mocked up what they'd look like and now I'd love some feedback from you - the lovely people who come here and visit with me, since you're the ones who'll be looking at it.

Neither of these is finished - there will be a background to the red one - and the images are a bit fuzzy because they are comp downloads of the pictures not the full size versions. The voting poll is at the top of the sidebar. All feedback gratefully received!
