Nice design, you mean click on the ads once tho don't you? You wouldn't want us clicking them loads of times and then google bands you for cheating.

yeah, just once.. /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

It looks okay but doesn't immediately grab me. It actually looks like you've used a template and needs some work to pull it up a few notches. Sometimes using a template doesn't work well; it might be better to build from scratch and make the page fit what is important about what you want to say, rather than filling in pre-arranged pieces of the page. The sub pages have the same layout, basically as the home page. You are fitting content into a prescribed form.

Here are some things I noticed:

It's a busy looking page. The first (left) panel has low-priority information in it. If I were shopping for a host, I really wouldn't care about the progress of the website. That left panel is repeated on every page, and detracts from the main content of each one.

You're using too many colors, and there isn't any apparent rhyme or reason for them:

red in the heading, yellow, light blue, lavender for the graphics for the 3 plans, green for some headings and some links;

there are also a wide variety of link effects; white on gray for the menu bar (but the white on gray headings are NOT links); underlined green, underlined gray; the blue graphic links on the right, and the graphic links for each hosting plan (which were not immediately apparent to me as links, I had to scroll over them to find out). I did wonder why you're using blue for a plan called "silver" and lavender for a plan called "platinum."

The heading graphic doesn't imply hosting or seem to have anything to do with the internet or computers, it's just trendy effect.

I would suggest focusing the design more, lightening it up, too, with less content and sharper writing. You take 2 sentences to say stuff that could be bulleted. Remember that writing on the web is understood and remembered much less than in print. Fewer words are better than more.

Drop the news section, tighten up the writing in the welcome section (the only really informative sentence is the last one, and that you design personal and business sites and host them) and putting the top info about hosting plans in a central space that has more padding, maybe even a white background, and is featured more on the page.

Both the cPanel and Support system links take one to a page that is off-site. That doesn't look very "together" to see that; I'd expect the "more" to be more of your site, not changing location. The design page tells me almost nothing about your design skills. Convince me to hire you! I would want more than a quote to do that.

I hope the above is helpful. I hope it didn't seem as if I tore your page apart, but I wrote what would be my response if I were shopping for a host.

Best wishes.

I'll be honest, fellas.... I know NOTHING about coding/programming/whatever it is you guys do for hours and hours and hours... but I do know a bit about graphics and the design aspect of the site.

The very first thing I noticed was the yellow for the gold plan, then the blue for the silver plan and the purple for the platinum plan.... /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> /blink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":blink:" border="0" alt="blink.gif" /> last time I checked, blue wasn't silver and purple wasn't platinum. I would suggest either changing those colors to look more like the names of the plans or change the names of the plans.

I wasn't a big fan of the red header.... maybe that's cause I don't like red. *shrugs*

Other than that... it's a nice site.

Thank you for your critiques... I like nitty gritty posts /smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

Just a thought... is it really a good idea to have ads for competitors (via google) on your main page? And displayed so prominently? All three of the ads displayed when I went there were for web hosting (your business) and the plans they advertise were either priced about the same or lower than yours with more features. I understand the desire to have additional revenue from google advertising, but I think you may be cutting your feet out from under you.
