I looked at both websites and neither one is using a back-end system for users to maintain (like Joomla or Wordpress), it's all strictly HTML. It would make no difference whether you maintained the first or second template-- just pick the one that you think looks the best.

I have a website now (cottagecats below) but am having a new site built for cat rescue only, so most of the info on CC will be deleted. From a web designers point of view, which would be easier to build......to use the template of cottage cats or rude ranch?
Also, which would be easier to maintain? A friend is doing this for me and he just says whatever I want. That will decide on which is easier for him but he won't tell me.

Thanks for your opinion and please keep in mind I know NOTHING about web design.
