Hi,

I have just completed my webhosting company site. I want as much input as possible, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Please let me know if u see any spelling errors - i know thats a big turnoff.

It looks nice, I liked the colors you chose, its nicely laid out easy to navigate overall you did a good job. Now you get to hear about the things i dont like about it. The site kinda just ends to the sides, it just looks like it was cut off, but not a big deal. The login button under all the text fields has a line from the background going through it, I think it would look less....bleg...if that was positioned all the way above or below it. I also dont like at the bottom there seems to be a purple strip with a grey line under it repeated like four times, its not all that appealing. Other than that, it looks quite nice

well it looks like a template but that's fine (i used a template on my site). your prices are looking very under priced (might seem unprofessional) and having a forum with no posts seems unprofessional. other then that it looks good.

You may want to add web hosting to your titles or some meta data like a site description for the search engines to chew on. You may also want to add a robots.txt file for the search engines. I agree that it does look like a template, but I like the looks of most templates.

One thing that hit me as I was checking it out is the top image.

"High Quality and Low Prices" is getting lost, especially the first two words.

And, as I really look closely at the image (and this may be because I am on a labtop) but it appears to be having quality issues...i can see some pixelization occurring....which brings a bad read - a low quality image that as the words High Quality on it.....

Something about the psyche there that doesn't mix for me. :?

Other than that, I get corporate feel for the site - which is something I think your trying to get, so that's successful.

a seperate page for the standard features maybe, and another for the fantastico features...
maybe have them as a java popup box.

the image at the top seems to have been exported as a gif with no dithering. which makes the image look bad and distorted. same with the menu bar.

the "Enter your e-mail:" is in the "Times New Roman" Font, perhaps change that to the Verdana font used as the other text

the image "100% Satisfaction Guaranteed" thats pixelated too.

The site itself seems to have no edges, stated by Bobbo171, a nice 1 pixel border will do ;)

nothing bad about the site, but slight improvements which will make it that bit more professional.

Pretty descent site. Not sure about the dots in the background it would look really gud if you put more of that orangey colour that you have behind the logo all around the side instead of the dots but that aside great site.
