I like it from a first impressions perspective - bright and breezy, clean layout. I'm guessing it's a template though? If not, be aware that it feels like a template

Angelos_n · 31 Jan 2011 at 21:02

not a template, but i will be inclined to say that the css and colour scheme was not mine

and i know what u mean, its the banner image (it was taking from google (plain ofc) i added all the wording etc..)

I like it. I noticed there is a problem with the main navigation.

When you hover on the Order Now button it doesn't seem to fit properly.

thanks ill have a look into it

Stability, Performance, Value. Shouldn't that be Stability, performance and value?

Its far better than anything I could do, but it looks like a template with generic rubbish looking racks.

Angelos_n · 31 Jan 2011 at 22:06

i think im going to get rid of that bit

and as i said earlier the banner image (with the racks) was off google. but i think it suits the site

Angelos_n · 31 Jan 2011 at 22:12

Nvm fixed, it was a margin issue

visibleman · 31 Jan 2011 at 22:58

Although it looks very well done, i agree with slylittlefox a little in that it looks a little bit like a template 'job' and i think that's down to packing everything into the 'white' box. Perhaps remove that and seperate everything in individual boxes, something like www.urgentvps.com or www.dynaceron.com maybe.

Compared to a lot of hosting sites, you design does look clean, fresh and straight to the point.

Have you sorted the issue with the order button? As it appears to be working correctly in Opera/FF/IE

Site looks pretty nice. One thing I did notice is that your server picture also includes all your text as part of that same picture. This is bad for several reasons. Crop the picture to be just the server picture and insert the heading as a heading and the text as text. Will work better for SEO and your page will load faster. Double win!

thanks for the comments, yeh i fixed the order button. visibleman ill try having the site without the border and see.

Eye_seven half the text is part of the picture and the heading bit i couldnt get right without it being part of the picture ill try again though.

Many Thanks
