Beta1 is much better than Beta. Besides a list of conversion no-nos, Beta simply is confusing to the eye.

Beta1 makes much better use of contrast and text that appears clear and readable. Both designs do suffer from the "get my money's worth" syndrome a bit though. For awhile there as many new designers came on the scene, people hiring them started to want to see more and more graphically as they compared one designer to another, trying to get their money's worth. What it led to was overly layered, busy designs that look hard to make but rarely earn the webmaster the kind of conversions they need to turn a good profit.

Anyway, I babble. Beta1 is much better. I would even suggest simplifying it more if you don' t get the best returns. And that's coming form a guy who would much rather get paid more to do more graphics! =]
