I like both designs, but the background on number 2 is better than just a gray - white gradient. As Alan already noted, the footer is not complete. Check out other competing sites what they have in their footer. Maybe add a twitter feed, or just make it smaller. Two sites that are similar to this one (I think) have a small footer: http://www.boohoo.com/ http://www.topshop.com Good luck

thanks for the reference and review ;)
