Intelligence from far more reliable sources now indicates that the designs on the German site are indeed bogus.
Though official graphics remain elusive, we are now told by these far more reliable sources that Archer's Enterprise will essentially look like Kirk's Enterprise and Picard's Enterprise -- only turned upside down! That's right: the warp nacelles and the saucer section (Yes, Virginia, there will be a saucer section) now reside slightly beneath the middle section.
(There being no up or down in space, all one need do is flip any photo of Kirk's Enterprise upside-down to get the basic idea.)
Also, expect the middle piece to be wider and flatter than those on Kirk's and Picard's Enterprises, and the saucer to be smaller in proportion to the rest of the ship than we're used to. Look for the entire ship to look flatter, with a very short or non-existent "neck" connecting the middle to the saucer section.
