What do you think - project 2 prelim

For my website redesign I went with renorock.net, a company that supplies people with landscaping materials (they do not do the landscaping, you do). I had a really hard time choosing what colors I wanted for everything but I’m ok with what I have. I ditched their purple blue color for the headings, but I still wanted to stay with their branding colors so I used their orange trucks (with grey blue color of their name) as a reference.
Sticking with their earth theme I choose browns for the ascents and navigation. For the first design, there will be a circle animations around the navigation images when you rollover, in my rough I’m showing the “still” version for them all. And for my second I was thinking pebbles rolling out to form the box, but I don’t know if I’ll stick with that.
I completely changed the layout of their navigation, so it’s less visually cluttered and there aren’t unnecessary tabs. Now there are five main tabs; home, products (with a drop down; when your selected on a page it will be their grey blue), delivery, faqs, and idea gallery. I added idea gallery, since they only supply the materials, I wanted to heavily carter to the do it yourself community out there and give them ideas. I also changed the way their information is laid out so there’s less wasted space and scrolling. Out of the two I thought I would like the rock nav better but I actually really like the circle navigation one better. I think it looks and feels more professional.
