He who designed the ad at the top is not he who designed the site right?

The ad serving as your logo looks nice and my advice is to use the colors and themes in that ad through out the site.

Also I think you need to orgainse your content better and give me far less items to click on all at once. My eyes just dart around the screen going, what is this? what is this?

I think the focus of your front page should be on your hosting packages. Save all the other stuff other sections of your site.

Divide your content and conquer!

I'm still getting a horizontal scrollbar at 800*600 and you still don't have height & width tags for your images!

I like the picture that you have on there but for some reason it just doesn't fit with the rest of the design. The test is still running hard against the sides of the columns and the logo looks quite odd to me now, it just doesn't seem dynamic enough.

Please take another look.

thanks

Let us know when you have finished the current changes and we'll come by again and take another look for you

Thanks for all the input. I have begin to make the modifications to my site. By fixing the margins, adding a picture, and making headings larger. I know what you think of the changes and I still have few to make.

thanks for the critiquing.

Whoah! There's a lot of text on here! Right away I'm confused about what I should be focusing on. I would take a lot of that out of there and focus on what you're really trying to sell to the user. Focus on what you can do for them. There is no need to have all of your information on the front page - it's just distracting (i.e. the bulleted points under the headings in the main section. At least make the headings bigger so they stand out). More information should be provided on other pages, with the front page serving as a general introduction and a place to highlight special promotions or whatever.

I also agree about not having margins on yoru table cells, and about putting some pictures in to add a human element.

Im just a new user, but I though your website was alright in layout but a bit boring to look at, maybe its just the colours.
I tried out some things on it such as the link popularity checker and checked my website, its fine.

The meta tag checker though told me it could not find any although they are there

Altogether it was fine

Ahhh, finally a site with left-hand navigation!

Some rules:

1. If you are directly selling a product (e.g Domain Names) you shouldnt advertise for other people. It tells them that you are struggling for revenue and therefore your service may not be great.

2. People need to see people! One of the modern world's fears (especially in techno-phobics) is that they are talking to a robot. People need to see other people on a website to remind them that the internet is not hostile. A great example of this in use is http://www.oneandone.co.uk they have a picture next to every package (click on 'hosting' and you can see what I mean). This is all to do with psycology. No-one likes to feel isolated or alone. So they need to see people so that they dont feel alone. This way more people are likely to buy from your site.

Except from that it is pretty simple and easy to use. Not bad.
Maybe try making the interface a bit more 'sexy', use some more images etc.

(sorry for a very heavy critique!)

with the zero margins the content is on edges making it very hard to read.
I'm also getting a horz scroll bar at 800x600 in Mozilla (index only)
Your logo doesn't produce enough impact your colour (the blue) and all the links are very over powering.

To be honest I think you have way to much stuff on there, I think you need to seperate it (even into two different sites) having your web hosting (which isn't clear and easy to find) as the main feature and the resources second

Firstly I get a horizontal scrollbar when minimised to 800*600 and I can't see any height & width tags for your graphics in your code!

It's all a bit too blue for me plus I'm not overly keen on the bright blue you have chosen, personally I think a more navy blue is better for text and instead of the red you have for highlighting I would have used orange to compliment the blue and use more of it to tone down the blue.

The logo is ok but a bit small and gets lost stuck in the corner. To me the green looks odd with the blue as they aren't good colours together, I would have the orange there instead of the green to tie it in with the rest of the site.

As for the layout of the rest of the page, I find it a bit boxy and boring to be honest, too much like thousands of other sites and nothing to set it apart.

Good start though
