Hello Folks,
I have redone the whole site after seeing lots of criticizm, so a brand new design has been incorporated with features like cpanel/webmail login for clients on the main page itself.

OOH sorry liquid it still has some flash in it. :biggrin2: :biggrin2: But not a heavy one so if your on dial up u should not have issues. :knockedou

Site Link is Same : www.a1whs.com

Old Site if anyone want to see is : www.a1whs.com/Oldsite

Yeah i know that template too but dont recall the site i saw it on maybe someone will provide site if its seen on some site. Its kinda old template with new ingredients added to it.

Yeah i think now liquid will be happier seen less flash on site.

Quit blaming me for your other site being worthless.

It's better, but the navigation and the "Hosting-Plans" image don't really fit with the design. In fact, it would really scare customers away.

Don't make the site for you, make it for your customers.

Just an Updated Changed the Hosting Plans Image on Demand by Liquid. So hope it doesnt scare away people as liquid pointed out.

Not bad. You should probably change the color of the nav bar to a blue-gray. Looks too "Halloweenish".

Much better!

Just a comment on your site in general, I think you should get a telephone number up there or something more on your contact page than just a electronic form.

We will get a phone number if this project is a sucess. But i dont see the use of a phone number which is not free and 24/7 (say only for 4 hrs) for customers like many hosting companies have. Forums and electronic forms are much faster to convey your message on a large global scale .

And Liquid what make it give Hallowenish look?

Your whole website is blue, but your nav is a scarey, offputting black.

I like this new one. In my opinion, some part of flash used in site is good.
It loads quickly now. I feel it looks professional. Layout and color scheme is nice. Navigation is quite simple.

Thanks. So i guess i will be sticking with the current design and adding some new scripts to it for making it work better.

i still say it looks great. i think the blue is a perfect choice. i would only get rid of the orange. i thinks it throws is off to much with the soft blue and gree you used. other than that. it is beautifull.

Keep the orange.

Ok now i am all lost get rid of orange or blue ? baah ..

Johnson

Keep the orange and blue. It looks good. Just change the nav to something more flat (I suggest a flat orange with white text, which would look good), it just seems halloweenish.

This design still needs ALOT of work. To be honest it looks asif you took different parts from different templates and glued them together. There are really alot of strange things: you've got that orange border at the right side, but none at the left side, the transition between main content table and the left table is crappy (well there is no transition between those two), some images are poorly compressed (company news, members login) etc.
If you are serious about hosting and would like to attract customers, you would need a much better design. Perhaps consider buying a template.

good luck

ps: you forgot the <body> tag in your code.

A1Owner

yeah infact i did forget body tag so i just edited it and made the title float or u can say dynamic and on the left there is no border cause the left was glued to the left hand side of screen and it looked sick but i can add it if desired.

Fonts: Try to use Verdana 10 px Will be much better for contents.
Site Uptime: Almost can't see it clearly. Just use their graphic from uppanel somehow it's much better
