My Website.... Question about Design?

[_ldsfaqs]

http://www.ldsfaqs.com

My other sites mostly are more "modern" looking (see links at site).
I like this ones style a lot for the site, but I'm worry'ed it's a bit old looking now.
But, I haven't found anything yet that could replace it.
Basically I'm torn. Part of me thinks it's just right, and another part thinks it's not as modern looking as it should be, for example compared to my other sites.

What do you think?

p.s. Don't be the predictable anti-mormon and simply say it sucks because you don't like me the Church, or the idea of such a site. Give me some reasonable opinions according to your personal views on website designs.

I recommend more content and not to worry about design.

I'm not sure the purpose of your group of blogs/websites but dear God you might want to keep your private websites a bit more private.

Why?

I'm going to be blogging/posting on most of them as "me", so why would I want to keep them private?

Because you posted pictures of yourself as well as your children, or links to them anyway. And that's not smart. (Just ask jskains who didn't even post links but posted up his real name).

If that evergrow business website is legitimate then you need to divest it of links to anti anti-mormon websites and private projects. That's my advice.

I plan on eventually being "public", thus hiding things really isn't practical.
Everyone practically is public these days.

Well, the Evergrow site is going to be the corporate site for all the others and more in time.
Several are going to be money ventures, and that one will be the LLC that owns the others.

When you do business or personally are public, anonymity is not an option anymore.
It's not like the old days when you wanted to keep yourself private.

Anyway, this thread is more about my design, not my growth plans.
by the way, you didn't vote....?

Polls don't work. But I recommend not having your personal and private websites attached to a business website in order to not scare off business that might think you're distracted or not willing to do business with anti-mormons.

I have thought of that. However, most of my work is going to be Conservative and Mormon related, so I don't expect to be attracting anti-mormons anyway that would be agreeing with me per-se.

I don't think it will be too big of an issue. Like with the fitness site, the program I'll be creating to sale to everyone, no select group, even people who aren't gay, or don't like liberals, still would buy Richard Simmons or Jane Fonda exercise products or music.

Once I get more content going, the links to other websites will not be so big of an issue.
The corporate site will be cleaned up more, more neutral in it's presentation of the various products and services, so as to not inflame.

Although, I will continue to re-evaluate that, depending on the directions the business goes.

There are too many pictures of fat people on your fitness site. Maybe some 'after' pics?
