The first thing that really stands out to me is the logo. That is just too neon, especially compared to the more conservative colours in the rest of the design. That definitely needs to be toned down some.

On the content pages, try to bump your text in from the border a little bit. Looking at the domain services here, I'm thinking that your writing here could use some work. I'm noticing a few grammatical errors here and there and I also feel that the style can be improved. Watch those run-on sentences! This seems to be quite a common problem actually - try to keep your them shorter. Also check your punctuation. I'm seeing some donts (that shoud be don't) and things like that, also poor use of commas.

Other than that there really isn't much to say about this design. It's okay but I feel that it could use more character. Try to develop more of a distinctive style.

Hi Arthur and welcome to TWF. We do ask that you review at least three other sites here in the critique section in exchange for review of your site. All help is appreciated.

The first thing I noticed with your site is the graphics that you have for the headers of each section on the home page (Premium Domain Name Services, High End Web Hosting, etc) are a little blurry.

I don't really like the gray background. Not sure what to suggest here though. Guess that is just a personal preference.

You might consider adding a bulleted list for your options under each section. Like this:

  • URL & Email Forwarding
  • Bulk Registrations
  • Multiple Domains under one login
  • etc.

Need to add some padding to your tables on the other pages so that your text won't be right up against the edge of the table.

Check your fonts sitewide. Some pages have verdana others have times new roman and arial. Make your fonts consistent throught the site.

You need a title or header at the top of each page to let the visitor know what page they are on.

With a little cleaning up of those few things you will be headed in the right direction.

browser problems -

NS4.7 - top logo banner doesnt display, add   in your empty table cell ( )
add a blank image (transparent image) somewhere in your blue strip, your settings are making this cell content width only, the image will set the width

Opera6 (as opera6) the bottom of the table sections dont display, looking at your source code looks as if your trying to cheat the border color, best to use another table around the content one, not the td cell

The content box titles are hard to read, very fuzzed, dont use antilasis for text images
Always use width, height and alt tags in images

on the hosting page looks like you missed a ";" (Additional Features: Basic Hosting Services, &nbspuser1.quickdeveloper.net/yourname/)

the "Language:" option isnt showing in NS4.7

looking at the code on this page you really need to work on fixing your coding, suprised it actually displays ( and ) missing closing tags for tr's, font's etc

you need to add something to your meta tags Smiling

your contact page has "mailtp:" you wont be getting much mail, should be mailto:

the domain services page has form overlapping image with background image tiling, you need to add the background as seperate sections (per cell) or use transparent images as backgrounds in all cells

just needs a little bit of work on your database or included bits

I agree with DM that the background grey is too dark, maybe try a lighter grey or light blue? I would also use an external style sheet for all your fonts that'll make everything the same and get rid of the tags in the coding, also make them pixel sizes to keep fairly constant pc to pc. I also agree about the logo, colour and that bevel makes it look a bit old style.

It's not so bad. There are still some major alignment problems in Netscape 4.7. Do check your spelling on things like 'Uptade your existing site'. Sounds kind of like Buckwheat. I would also consider using a different font for your text. It looks somewhat unpro as it is. A few things that I personally don't like are your navbar. It is somewhat difficult to see since the text is not underlined or set apart in some kind of navbar. I also don't like the style of not capitalizing the links. The design looks professional but you are losing it on the little things like fonts, spelling, etc.

Looks better. Definitely do something different with the navbar - even if you just make those links bold and blue it would look better - more like a navigation menu. On some of the pages the links are capitalized, on others they're not so make sure that's consistent.

I like the design. I can really tell that your images have compressed to heck though. There will always be a conflict between download time and crystal clear images. The site loaded very quickly and had a professional taste to it. Very nice.
