I found it difficult to read your header including your pages title and navigation text.

Plus you have a cut off partial box below your content box which looks out of place.

G'luck.

yeah the header text is uber hard to read. and if you are going to do a business site you might want to present your flagship product right on your front page because that would mean me having to navigate to your homepage and then to another page to see what you have to offer. take a look at big hosting sites and what they have on their homepage and follow their lead (i dont meant take their design).

There seems to be problems with your NEWS php and some other pages (404's). Also, no need to put ()'s around a (c). (I think). Solid layout though.

You might consider adding mouseover effects and some more color to the pages.

That table of features is pretty long and boring.

You should use CSS and add more color to the table.

design design design

this is all gonna sound lame, "corporatey", and kinda cliche but--

This page could benefit from some standard practices for your industry - hosting. That is, I think you need to artsy pizazz. I'm talking stock photography (yknow the girl who is kinda cute but nerdy with the headset on, smiling, saying - get your hosting from me!). I would recommend a new font selection - somewhere along the lines of "verdana" or "tahoma". also - you might want to look into a COLOR SCHEME. Check out rackspace or apollo host orbetterhosts for waht i'm talking about.

You can get cheap good stock photography (royalty free) from i-stockphoto .

Also - I would get a designer to come up with a logo. If you've got servers and stuff, you've got $250 to get a great logo from logobee . They'll set you up with a color scheme too. I feel that this would be the best money spent at this point. just 250 and all of a sudden you've got a brand, and image, a color scheme, and a print/internet identity scheme.

-Taylor

I want it to be simple, all the hosting companys I know have complex layouts like that, I wanted to be different.
I'll take Panther's advice and put another box in with an ad for one of the packages.
I'll make the header text just 1 colour, I'll edit the post when I've done some editting.

1. In my oppinion the table is too narrow, use something in the region of 750 (less than 800 anyway) as most people use 800 x 600 (Windows default).

2. Also DON'T use times new roman, it sucks ***!!!!

3. As said before less drop shadow would improve it.

actually using 800 width is wrong, because someone viewing it in 800x600 will see the page with a bottom scroll bar, i use 780 which fits it nicely.
