Extremely well-organized and aesthetically pleasing site. My only problem is the large blank space on the right when viewed in larger resolutions. I would definitely like to see the entire page centered.

Looks Ok, clean and looks professional, It just doesnt catch the eyes directly... I agree that you make it adjust as the resolution of the visitor increases/decreases, Anyway looks ok...

Overall this looks pretty good. It's a unique look for a hosting site, which I think is good. Many of them over-clutter everything and have very uniform looks.

One problem I have with this is that I don't like the pale green/red colour combination. YOu've also introduced a pale yellow and a different shade of orange which distract from the overall unity.

The logo looks good but again, lacks unity. Move the "backhend hosting" bit closer to the EZ so they look like they're all one rather than two separate pieces.

In my browser there's a big hunk of white space in between the first two paragraphs. I'm not sure if that's supposed to be there or not (I"m using OPera 8 - the space is smaller in IE but still there). Now, I just taklked about that text without actually reading it. Paragraphs of text aren't exactly the fastest way to communicate ideas to your audience. Try changing that to a set of bullet points that would immediately get peoples' attention and communicate in fewer words what you need to say.

I find it interesting that the top header extends across teh full width while the main body stops at about 700px. I'm not sure that this is a bad thing. it's an interesting idea...

Another thing this page could use is some more elemetns that invite teh user into the site. A great article by Cameron Moll called "Great Homepages Really Suck" teaches that home pages need to give the user lots of opportunities to click deeper into the site. The navbar isn't enough and most of what you've got on here is more academic. It's not encouraging people to get in and sign up for your service. Maybe a special deal or highlights of your servies would be a good thing to include.

Otherwise this is pretty good. Is that a stock photo of the guy with the photos or is that unique? I can't tell, which is good. One of my design pet peeves is generic looking stock photography that you know doesn't actually depict the actual busienss.

I like the colors and it has a very professional feel. I might spruce up the logo a bit, though.

Great job!

I don't like the color combinations you have going, but I do like the layout. At 800x600 it views fine. I think it's great for the type of site you are running and I wish you the best of luck. Wink
