Hello,
Could you please check out my site below and give any comments you have, suggestions would be great of what else to do on the site.
I have got most of the site up now and working.
If you have any problems please also post them here.
BTW the plans are still being sorted out so im not looking for comments on them, just the site design,
Thanks a lot,
John

Nice, maybe you can add a hover to the top navigation buttons?

Just wondering why the pages are just one big graphic, why not slice them up and add text in the appropriate places.
Save on download time, and search engines will pick it up.

Thanks for that,
Wasnt sure what to do about the logo so i just used a font and added some effects to it in fireworks, thats also where the rest of the page was done.
I have only sliced one page so far, the plans.html but im not sure if i have uploaded that version yet, i was having a lot of problems with the images on the page after i sliced it but it was my first attempt at slicing, i normally do all pages in dreamweaver so a newbie to using fireworks.
I will slice the rest of the pages either tonight or tomorrow then upload them if it will make download speed faster.
I cant really tell if pages take long to download, im on 512k so most pages load very fast.
Anyone have any ideas for the logo?
Any other thoughts/suggestions?
Thanks for all the hlep so far,
John

11 seconds on this ol' 28k box. I'll test it on a fast cable connection tommorow morning.

Nice design by the way.

Just a quick suggestion: on the page where you list your hosting plans, you might want to reduce the width of all the pages. Maybe it's because I'm browsing it from school, but they take up way too much space in this IE 5.

Anyone else having problems with the size of pages?
I thought it would be ok for all browsers...
I have sliced all pages by the way and added plans in USD and GBP :)
Anyone know how long it takes to download the index page on a 56k?
Just want to know if the pages are still too big for slow connections,
Thanks,
John
