Pros and Cons of My Two Designs

Well for my first design it has everything I want. It is just I don't think the colour scheme is appropriate. Black and green aren't suitable for a website. That is the only problem with design one. Design two has one bad thing about it, the text Kristen ITC. It's good for more kid like websites like BBC or CBBC. This is a serious website where I want people to read it and not have a hard time reading it. So I have chosen to go with design one because it looks smarter and it's not too smart. Also the text won't be too big or too small. The table of contents is in a good place ( top right of page and so is the logo. I think I might just change the colour scheme from black and green to black and blue. Maybe for the titles I might use a bright colour but not too bright. I think the information will be in bite sizes so readers don't get bored of trying to find the information they want.
