Very clean and well arranged!
It looks professional and is easy navigated.

I would reconsidered the green color on the hosting offers. Maybe it is a good idea to stick to blue, yellow and green? (The colors you have on the rest of your frontpage.)

IE , Windows XP , 17inches screen res: 1280 x 1024

here is (in order) what has caught my attention on ur page:

1.huh...there is something wrong with your background...detailed backgrounds make the main content look plain / empty

2.oh...nice warmhearted looking girl..(she looks trustworthy (sweet) but you should work on the edges of the pic) her mom at the top is not needed...I think you should make the pictures smaller....no need to focus on striking graphics as webmaster only care about paying as low as possible...focus on prices / plans and your contact information at the top....

3.My eyes then immediately went to FREE SETUP in white...it's really well positioned! Although I think you should reduce the number of slogans at the top...you have three hehe decide!

4.Now I see the green table listing your plans...(I think you should make it blue instead...darker than the one used in the menu on the left)

5.The menu at the left was the last I saw...you might want to try bold fonts? I also think that you should add something in it..you might want to try images to advertise your features:
No Setup Fee, No Hidden Fee, No Extra Charges
Fixed Price Guarantee
Free Online Live Help
Free Email Support
High End Linux Server with Unix Apache

and/or icons of cgi/php/mysql etc...
like at the bottom of http://www.bluewebhouse.dk/ (my friend's host)

Use graphics that people remember and trust (ones that are commonly used in a majority of web host sites)..it makes them understand what you are about very quickly....is it a guarantee or live support?

Sorry for my bad english btw... but just want to be sure:
does 'Gaurantee' really spell this way ? Not certain... Microsoft Word auto-correct it for: Guarantee

anyway, I'll add more comments/suggestions later ...

Hope it helps, good luck with your host !

A very well done site. Nice Job!

**LookPortal** · 11-26-2003, 08:50 PM

Very Nicely done, In addition i would make the suggestion to make your tables based on percents in the width="" opposed to numbers. The reason is that with different browser sizes the table "resizes" instead of the horizontal bar showing up.

Do you think the "Free Setup" work better if it is clickable?
My slogan is abit long "Hostsvic.com - 1st Choice in Web Hosting (Your total budget Hosting Solution)
The Build Future just a sub slogan

Nice & simple yet brings out the message to the audience, a good job there mate

**MikeyB987** · 11-27-2003, 07:59 AM

I agree with the points already made, just a couple of points.

Looks good, but it loses it's consistancy when you get down to the options in the help menu, the colours for the headings keep changing colours, you have blue, green & black

Also, when you goto "Dedicated Server" on the left menu, the menu is no loger there!

**zscherween** · 11-28-2003, 02:42 AM

I like the design. I just have few comments.

1.The yellow background on the left and right does'nt fit the center design.
2.Maybe you can also add an animated danner of your offers.

Nice look! Clean, clear. Good Prices, except my host beats it by a couple bucks a month :-)

**zscherween** · 12-02-2003, 03:33 AM

I mean the yellow waving background image. Maybe you can use just plain white? so that the center portion would be more enhance

**sweetandsoft** · 12-02-2003, 04:55 PM

I love the navigation and the basic design is also nice.

Things I love the top logo. You might consider changing the Hostton.com text on the logo though. I also love the top navigation. The page background might could use some work. Also, the left navigation background color/effect could be changed. Other than that, the site is great.

**Giselle** · 12-02-2003, 08:24 PM

Very nice site Hostton! Everything is very readable and nothing is cluttered!

Best Wishes,
Giselle

**Fleet** · 12-06-2003, 10:07 AM

Looks good for the most part, may be a too few many colors. Left Side Navgation could stand out a bit more.

**Hostton** · 12-08-2003, 11:03 AM

Hi all my modify Website is now up. Comment from the previous posted member are appreciate. Comment from expert and newbie are well come.

Since you all tell me the bg color not good. I already change to #cccccc, but seen not good as well. Any good Idea?

The Side navigator bar now is come out a bit. does it look ok?

The Hosting Plan bg color now is the same color as the menu (blue). For me, it look ok.

Thanks in advance to all post member

**AKA** · 12-16-2003, 08:49 AM

site looks really good and professional. I like sites that align to center and not left like so many that do. I viewed in 1024x768.

love the graphics at the bottom for Hosting Reseller Heaven.
what font are they in?

**Hostton** · 12-16-2003, 11:05 AM

I will check and post here later. thanks
