Any critism is constructive critism to me, so do be honest......now let me "ave it"

i like the design a lot. it is very professional looking. not much wrong with it, except the green for the starter package has too much contrast. you might want to make it darker.

nice. clean. your packages tend to have a bug wherein the pictures lay out on top of eachother instead of next to eachother, and it messes up your table. i suggest using the old and outdated <nobr> because despite being un-kosher, it works.

i attached a picutre of the problem.

your site is very graphics heavy. maybe that isn't a problem for your target audience, but i'd try to find ways to make it easier on low-bandwith peoples. a good start would be replacing pictures of text with actual text--especially the pictures at the bottom "Home | Hosting | Resellers..." which could *easily* be text and not detract at all from the look of the site.

Thanx for the replies guys. I havn't had or heard of that problem myself yarrgh, but i'm deffinatly looking into it. If anybody else gets the same problem, please let me know

I did not see the problem on my browser. IE 6.0 with a SR of 1024x768. The layout is good, the quality of the graphics are good, but the prices are not. I do have to say that your pricing is a bit high for what you get. I don't know if you have control over that or not, but they are a bit high.

One thing you may look into also, is if someone changes the currency view, have it update the graphics with their currency. I changed it to USD and the graphics stayed the same. I have to say, I had expected the prices to update for me.

There is not much else to say for this site. Good work overall.

The reason why we havn't made the images change with the currency is becuase the currency changes (i.e USD and Euro) are updated daily due to the exchange rates. When u change the currency, this can be seen on all pages, bar the home page, which is shown anyway beneath the £ image. In an ideal world, i would have prefered it as an image myself

As for our hosting prices, i gotta say ur the first to say that, does anyone else feel the same (plz remember this is windows not Linux hosting)? To date, our clients have been happy with the package they get from us, but we do stive to maintain competitive prices whilst giving value for money, so opinions on this isuue raised by jammin411 would be most appreciated guys.

I think the site design is very professional looking. The only suggestion I could make, would be to add a computer tower behind each plan.

**jammin411** · 05-03-2004, 01:30 PM

The only reason I bring up the pricing is because for the host on some of my sites, I only pay $7.95 a month and get 1000MB of storage, 30GB of transfer, unlimited SQL databases, live stats, unlimited POP3 accounts, unlimited sub domains, and the servers support .asp, .php, .cgi, and of course html. Maybe I am comparing apples to oranges, but there seem to be cheaper alternatives where I get more. Now also keep in mind that this is in the states also, I am not sure what the prices are where you are from. It may be right on target.

Excellent design work!!! One of the best *novice* sites I've ever seen. I give it a 10, which is rare for me to do, lol! Great job. Looks very professional and seasoned.

The site is easy to read. I hate cluttered sites. Looks professionally done. The live help is a great feature just so you actually have it working.
