White on red. -
Hello Everyone!
I have asked a few people what they thought about my site design, and they said that the black was hard to read. So, I change the buttons on the left to white. Do you think it looks bad? http://www.1simple.com
Should I go back to black?
Thanks in advance! 
Curtis

I like the white better, it seems to make the image text look more like a link than the black text did. Definitely easier to read.

Hey Carolyn & John,
Thanks, I thought so, but wasn't sure if that was too much white.
Thanks for your time!

I see what you mean by to uch white, try having a thin vertical column as a right column to end you page. This will break up the white.
BTW I think we should not ask for re-reviews in a different thread. i.e go back to your original thread if you want a re-review to avoid clogging up this forum. Just my opinion but it is up to Carolyn.
**edit - I have to reread my posts they are always full of errors!**

Hi Curtis,
I like the red on white,
but I think the black on white (active page)
hasn't enough contrast. It looks a little
blurred.

Hello Curtis,
I think that the red on white is better than the red on black, it is esier to read, and as said before it does go with your logo, your website is designed very good, I think..
