SITE REVIEW: MindCry Hosting

Please let me know what you think of my site for my webhosting business. http://mindcry.net

Is it that bad?

The site is crisp and clean, no frills.. it is a standard layout scheme that is very common.. I would work on the copy/text on the homepage, it looks like it needs a little breathing room. Maybe use cell padding so that the text is not all the way up to the edges of their cells. Plus the main body of text is long, maybe break the paragraphs up with a line in between each (unless you're trying to squeeze it all into the window without having to scroll to read it all. Maybe it's all just fine the way it is, except try adding a few other graphics/colors..

Other than that, everything is easy to navigate, and site is not overwhelming or confusing.

Hope some of this is helpful to you.

I noticed you spaced out the paragraphs, it does look better!

Yes, definatley does look better thanks to your advice of course I am trying to figure out now what kind of colors to add and see if that will make it look better as well.

1. Too much text blocks becuase people on the web scan pages - Consider sub titles with logical grouping of text and bullet points and even small icons or clean photos no larger than 70x70pixels.

2. "Plan Highlights" consider padding and no italic. Italics are for quotes.

3. Links inside the logical groups in point 1 of the homepage to other areas of your site

4. Header graphic – consider cropping 40 pixels off the bottom and removing the old fashioned drop shadow on the logo.

5. Add a unique HTML title to every page.

Sorted!

Good job and good luck!

What do you mean by

3. Links inside the logical groups in point 1 of the homepage to other areas of your site

It's clean, but it's a little too plain. I agree that an image or two might make it more appealing. Also, people will not read large blocks of text on a webpage. And I think on the top banner it should say "hosting" so it's immediately clear what Mindcry means. And maybe on the step plans in the boxes on the right, you could set them off with a different color or an icon or something.

a) Group you text into subtitles (2 or 3).
b) Add bullet points
c) Consider icons or a photograph
d) Now add links from these sections to other areas of your site

Its to reduce large blocks of text and aid navigation without looking at the menu bar.

I made some of the changes on this page, let me know if the changes look and better. Thank you all so far for your input.

You offer hosting plans and no Contact Form??? You must be kidding!

Can you add SOMETHING to the About Page? Plain text is boring!

It is neat, don't get me wrong, but I have the impression that this site should go for a review at the Fortune 500 forum, not at a design opinion forum...

Yep thats it spot on. Picture of server would be good too but its alot more usable now.

Yes, pictures are normally good. People feel more pulled into a website with great images, along with great descriptive and easy to use navigation like yours.

Hey, that's pretty nice. The colors really go well with eachother, also the logo looks great. And you have ok hosting prices, but that's not the point. The site looks good.

Hi,

Your site looks clean!
As said above: add some small images of a server or whatever, and add a contactform.
To add some different colors in your site give your name in the header another color, try the color of your 'Plan Highlights' text. Try to change the color of your menufont allso.
