The site is nice, but I think a logo might help build yourr brand

The huge black, mostly empty footer is a bit too large for me I think.

I have a logo actually...



Need to figure out a way to fit it in somehow.

I can't figure out how to shrink the height of the footer. Input there would be lovely.

As far as SEO goes you are missing H1 and H2 tags which are important for on site SEO.

The HTML has 223 Errors. You can check your website at http://www.validator.w3.org/

Analyzing your meta tags: I think you are overly using the keywords meta tag. It is recommended that you only use keywords that actually appear on your page, if not it is considered spamming. And by the way, the keyword tag is not used anymore by Google.

The layout looks good, the only thing I would change is the height of the footer. The copyright line is small and there is a large space under it which doesn't look to good.

I don't care about errors, I tested browsers and it looks fine. I'll fix the header tags and such.

How do I shrink the footer? I can't figure it out, that was one thing I noticed.

I tihnk the logo needs someting more than just plain text, the naviagtion needs a hover state at least.
And the footer is looking bear.

But its looking clean and nice, good start!

Remove the min-height from your css, that will solve your big footer height.

So URL rewriting isn't needed?

Also, if you look at the site, the "Shared Hosting" table box, the background (not the title background) is grayish for some reason. I can't figure out where this is defined. I want that white like the other three are.

Make sure your individual pages have unique and appropriate page titles. All of your current titles are the same:

<title >Managed Web Hosting: Dedicated & Shared Web Hosting Solutions - Bright Fuse Hosting< /title>

Its a descent one for a home page but your interior pages should have titles better describing the page. This is what people see as the heading in Google search results etc and your keywords in your title hold a little more weight than other elements so keep them really relevant to the page content.

I'd do that but PHP includes don't let me do that.

for me where it says "bright fuse hosting" i would put your logo there

also the "make the savings last" thing is a great idea but the picture your using is not needed. I get its to stand out but you could integrate that more into your site

other than that the site works well fro me and looks pretty smart!

Your Server must have installed module mod_rewrite, if you use some CMS you can try to found options in configuration
