Hey Curtis,
The new one is an improvement though it looks very bare.
- I would also have the content lign up with the top blue graphic right edge.
- you could move the mail logo to the left and think of something to put (an image of a server?) on the right.
- the domain look up is all scrunched up on one line.

Hi Curtis,

I really like the set up of the red site - so it is a little empty. But I have to say that I like the navigation on the blue site better.

I think it just needs some graphics or something to spice it up more.

Great job!

Brooke

Thanks you two.

I thought about the bareness.

Do you think the green color is good? or should I change it?

I love the logo, don't know why.

Thanks
Curtis

Hi Curtis,
I like this one:http://www.sshost.com/
the other logo looks a bit too "big" but it "the design" could be toned down to work.
One weird thing about logos that web designers don't always know is the bigger the company the simpler the logo.
take a look in a book of corporate trade marks sometime to see what I'm talking about.
Of course I'm talking logo and not banners etc.....
Anyway, back to the topic

I think you have a good start but it could be embelished a bit like the others have mentioned -- maybe just some bullets or icons to highlight important points. The page is pretty long. You might take those customer testimonials and put them into a 2-3 column format.

take care,
Carolyn

Hi!

I was talking to Chad from Dids.com and I agree with him that a web site design in the hosting business can reflect your sales big time. I'm not sure if that is the problem, hope so.

Enough of that. Can you tell me which look you like. Why? What atracts you more?

I prefer sshost.com, but the red & yellow box is too contrasty, and the font is too narrow to be able to read easily. Also, a minor but important point: use testimonial, not testimony. Testimony is more something you give in court.
