No. 1 looks good to me.

The 4th one seems best to me. May be it is because of the delicious looking strawberry staying on top

4th one for me as well.

im in favor of no. 3 one thing you could do is add an area where visitors could chose the theme that they want. (i think you can only do this in php? correct me if im wrong.)

Good work SSh-Raj beautiful designs.

I also like #1 & 4 but I find that #1 doesn't really go with the theme of FOOD. You have photos of flowers. #4 has food and is a good design layout. Glad that client is getting the site redone it was in desperate need lol

thanks every one for your comments. i guess I'll refine #4 and splice it up!

and yes 613flavah the old design was 8 years old!

1 and 3 look the best. The others are okay, but not as eye appealing.

For me they all look nice but before i can make any jusdgements there's need for a navigation. We all know it's a very important aspect and a design without it is senseless. So my advice is to start implemeting the nav into your drafts because it can also enhance your design the way it's done. Most site make navigation easy but does something else. When u figure that out...lemme know.

i am personally in favor of 3 and 4. if i saw a site with the design of the others, i would just leave.
