YES – There are PRIZES for you to WIN!!!! Just read this:
.
A few weeks ago I redesigned the look and feel of this site. I have mixed feelings about the new design however.
Here is the old look:
(By the way, I could have never fit a picture this large
on the old design because it would have been to wide)
Of course, I don’t need to put a picture up of the new look since you can see it live right now (on this very page).
I still have a soft spot for the old design. I liked having three columns, and the look was more unique, but I felt that it left the main area for the articles too small to work with. You would have to read everything in a very narrow column.
The New design loads faster, and I made the font a lot bigger which makes it easier on the eyes. The main area is much larger to work with, but I only have to 2 columns instead of 3 and the site looks so much more like thousands of others that I feel it is no longer as unique.
That is where you come in.

I like the new look. Feels relaxing.
Hope I win a prize
I miss the old look.
I could move the “boxes” around.
John, I like the new one…for someone who isn’t super computer savvy, it’s easier to read and my computer likes it better too(my computer tends to shut down on many peoples’ sites).
Good luck! Thanks for having the contest!
Wow love the new look 😉 it looks very proffessional and eye catching 🙂 hoot hoot. Good job there
I really like the new look. It’s clean, concise, and easy to navigate. Great job, John!
Awesome job, John! I love the new look. The old one was nice, but my eyes aren’t getting any younger and it does seem to load faster. Thank you for all that you do, I always look forward to new info on your site and your take on the art of living abundantly!
Hi John,
I like the new look. Not as busy, less clutter.
Looking forward to your continued great content.

The old look had a sort of classic appeal to it, but the new look is more breezy and steamlined, easier on the eyes.
I like the new look, wish the best luck!!
I like the new look better. Change is always good.
I like the old one… I can see more at a glance. The right hand column of the new one could get ‘very’ long and unwieldy… out of proportion to the main section.
I have noticed others are tending to do this though, so maybe it’s the way of the future.
So here’s to the future… whichever way you go.:)

I like the old one. The blue outline you had made it easier for and faster. Also the new one is a bit too tireing to search. Old one please
Mangai
I like them both. Now I have to ask something must have inspired you to change, right? What was the inspiration?
The New….. is the One..!!!!
dear john,
the new design’s faster downloadability is in itself giving the greatest edge over the older one.
I really like the blue type over black type alot.Im for the new.Give it a try…win or lose its worth the effort anyway.
Really like the new look!
Great job! Very easy to find what you’re looking for!
really, you do not need to be nostalgic, improvement is sometimes neccessary and the contents are very special and unique!
Relax and be happy and count the $$$
love and light
Much bettet to read and fewer distractions. The other columns are usually ads. which often are a distraction from the central information.
I like the new look, the old look was good, nothing wrong with it in my opinion but the new look just looks “newer” haha, evolving is a good thing, go with the new!
Hi John, I like it! Smooth, slick & professional. I say Go For It! 🙂 Hava a great day!
“Success comes in cans, Not can’ts!”
Although the old site is indeed unique in design, I prefer the new look because it’s easier to navigate and all your products and services can be found in their respective slots. Very organized. Thumbs up on this one, John.
Hi John,
I really like the new one! You did a great job. Love and Light, Kitty
Change is good! I like the new look
Hi John,I looked at both the old one and new one and to me they appear to look exactly the same.These are the links from the email recently sent.
A Whole New Look!
JohnDerrick.com has been redesigned with a whole new look. (See Here)
I have to admit that I am torn between the old look (picture here) and the new look (see here)
Am I missing something.Lol.Old or new,your website still rocks.Best to you always.
Peace,
Chris
this is a time for the new shift in our lives,this is a time for out with the old and I welcome the new, go for it.
John, I like the new look. It looks more organized. Thank you and keep up the good work
no such thing as a bad look.
folks are looking…right!!
bravo to you for doing something different.
keep up the good work.
I like the new look. It is much easier to read
Thank you so much.
I love the new look. It is so much easier to read.
Thank you.
Gosh, John, you’ve mis-spelled your name in the title across the top of your page. It’s missing an “r”
Cheers, John
Good one a change is allways good, out with the old and in with the new
I like the new site John. The larger font is much easier to read. Thank you.
I like the new look. Wishing you continued success!
I was tempted to say,
“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.”
However I can see the New Look is more user friendly. Just like everyone else (including you) I tend to stick to the devil I do know.
Let’s adapt to the new site and
All the Best wishes for your ongoing success. Liz.
I think the new design looks alot better is more presentable and looks alot more profesional
The new look is easier to read.
When you don’t have a lot of time to read email, it’s nice to keep things simple:)
Dear John,
I love the new design. It has a clean look and blue is my favorite color. I do wish the font was smaller, though. I do not like reading larger font. Also, I do not care for the font of “johnderrick.com” at the top. It seems as if it is screaming your name. Hope
I am not crossing the line with my suggestions.
Thanks for asking!
I like the old design better.
I feel the new has something missing.
I love the new design!
Feels cleaner and is easier on the eyes. Calmer too.
I really liked the old on but I like the new one too. Not sure which is better. Prolly new one.
New one.
Hope I win!
I can win. I can win.
I am so happy and thankful now that I have won john derricks contest.
putting it on my manifesting card.
Your last name is spelled wrong on this webpage. There’s only one R instead of two. I prefer the old look because it looks more balanced. I like the idea of larger fonts to make it easier to read the articles but think you should stick with 3 columns instead of two. I really don’t like the new look.
Like the new look! 🙂
Hi John,
Personally, I like the old website design better. To me it seems more classic, clean, and professional. It is attractive, but does not overwhelm the eye of the reader. You mentioned you like the space of the 2 column design. Could you use the old design, but have 2 colomns instead of 3? Just a thought. Good Luck! –Rachel
I like them both and simply can not decide.
Since I have to pick I will say old 49% and new 51%

I like the Sunrise picture you have in your original design.
I believe it is important to have something displayed in your design of this nature as it leads me to understand subliminally what your products are designed to convey. In this way will I grasp what sort of transformation DVD Subliminals canmake in my life. So I get a preview so to speak of what i can expect will happen in my life. So your design represents you to us the subscriber. What I believe you feel “is missing” in the new design is the essence of “warmth and being secure”.
To re-iterate:
I find this is encapsulated in the picture of the sunrise found in your first design. Color and warmth is necessary to me as the reader of your advert because it leads me to understand what I expect to find about myself through and in your subliminal visuals and music.
