Only one way to describe it when looking thru Opera

Horrible

The nav is messed up. the header text is to small

Lack of organization

I dont know how it looks thru other browsers...

[PowerHosting123]

I tested with the following browser that were ok
Mozilla Firefox
K-Melon
Opera - Only left navigation is messed up

with fit to width on it looks slightly better but someone shouldnt have to do anything upon entering your site to make it look better:)

You should look into getting that bug fixed :)

Thanks for reporting it I had an extra space an the left navigation has been fixed an opera :beer:

lam thinking that how opera is cause I went to other site an did the same thing hmm spreading the template out cause I don't seem to have the problem on IE, Firefox, and Inernet Explorer 6.0 I will check into this information futher for opera

Not too keen on the green.

[iBrightDev]

it looks like a gaming template you tried to use as a hosting template, adn it is cramed in the left top corner. IMO... Epic Fail. try again.

[hamster]

+1 to Justin's gaming template point. Your alignments are all messed up.

[PowerHosting123]

Please give me an updated review the left navigation has been fixed I have tested it an Mozilla Firefox 2, K-Melon, IE and Opera browser is still messing up the top navigation for some reason still looking into this issue an the header will be redone.

Thanks for reviewing.

Yay. Someone picked up my old business domain and started afresh :D
PS: I used to own hosting-shack.com (for the OP)

On the design - Horrible. As others have said, far too much green, poorly laid out content area's.

[Dan]

I like the idea of the layout. Nice and simple. But it could be centered.
I am viewing it in Firefox 3
However, the header I do not like. The site name doesn't look good in there at all. Navigation would be better centered.
"Template Design by Robert Foster" should be made smaller and put to the very bottom and to the side.
The images at the very bottom for cPanel etc, need to be fixed. There's a white border showing on them that is pixelated.

The green doesn't suit the site either.

Good luck with it though. :)

No worries dude.
Please don't take offense here mate, just trying to be helpful. But seriously? You need to get someone to design your website for you or use one of the millions of free templates available out there.

[PowerHosting123]

Dan when I was using free templates designed for the hosting site then went to go get review they will tell me the designed was old find a new one so I just decided to designed my own I have updated the template little bit by making the header lighter an adding a slogan updated layout here a new look

you can always purchase a template from someone. ;)

[Dan]

Mate, as my friend above said, you could purchase one.
I am sure if you ask nicely, someone here will be happy to design a template for you at a reasonable price or maybe even for a trade of some sort?
Good luck with it anyway. :)

[tlchosting]

Simple and plane, Also when I look at hosting shack for some reason might just be me but I think of rapidshare file hosting then I see the name of your hosting.

[PowerHosting123]

The template has been updated can be viewed at http://hosting-shack.com

Getting better.

Main thing first!
Those cpanel apache ect images at the bottom are screwed. Remove that white :O

Heres a few friendly suggestions for ya.
Bold the navbar font and stick a | or draw a 1px dark green line between each (to make buttons)
The text in the menu and content area needs to be at the top of the tables, not 1/2 way down.
Remove the stroke around the content box, or at least continue it around the corners.
Allign your navbar and header 3px more to the left. ATM they hang off the right side.

Good luck :)

you should learn to utilize slicing properly. a lot of times, and in this case, you have a ton of images that are duplicates, just different widths. for instance, where your main content is that has the gray back with the slight gradient on the sides. to create that, all you really needed to do was slice it one of two ways. to be extra simple, i will explain the easiest way. you obviously have a fixed width. so, what you should have done was take a 1px high crop of the background, like this...

http://methodcomptech.com/uploadscript/files/gray-back.jpg

and set it in a div and told it to repeat-y, like this...


<div style="background: url(gray-back.jpg) repeat-y;">put all content and everything in this div</div>


also, to get the rounded corners where you have the page content display can be done in a similar way, but, i dont have time to go into that. your menu can use the same concept. there is no need to have normal looking text as an image, especially with no rollover. you should have just set the background image, and then put the links using an un-organized list, and set the css for the li to...

ul {margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none;}
ul li {display: inline;}
ul li a {display: block;}



<ul>
<li>home</li>
<li>shared hosting</li>
<li>link</li>
<li>link</li>
<li>link</li>
<li>link</li>
</ul>

you can add more to the li css like padding, width, margin, etc to get the proper spacing.

i hope that this helps you in your future design projects. good luck
