You had to spoil the thread :@ lol

Number 1 (http://order.1and1.co.uk/xml/order/Home;jsessionid=5A34C4706F8CBD4BDE575BFE8D2CA776.T C32b?__reuse=1177534924305) - and thats not simple?

Number 2 (http://www.fortunecity.com/) - OMG they have 3
boxs rebels!

Number 3 (http://www.123-reg.co.uk/web-hosting/) - yeah complicated :rolleyes:

Number 4 (http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/) - no, OMG it canrt be, they have, the little devils 5 boxs & a flash add JESES!

Number 5 (http://www.freezone.co.uk/) - hmmm reminds me of number 4 but :o they've even gone and added box under there ad boxs for pakcages! what is the world coming 2

[Invent]

Great layout just dont like the bar at the top.

[_Liam]

Simple sometimes works well

1&1 - big company, website doesn't have to impress.
They use colours to attract - it has more than 3 boxes :P
123reg, exactly as meaning, big company - no need for fancy
same as 1 & 3
freezone one doesn't deserve the webspace its on.:eusa_danc

Ok then 3 main one a banner and loads of little buttons, then the boxs in the background, then the footer

So where does the rule come in that big sites layouts can be simple and small sites canrt :(


EDIT: thanks for every ones feedback I've repped you all including adam but not jaffa because I gotta spread :(

[F32]

there is no rule.

there's just no need for a site that solely depends on backend workings the have a flashy site - they already have a name for themselves etc.

a small site, flashy layout - draws attention, possible customers.

promotional studies ftw.

Flashy sites actually don't bring in more customers, 9 times our of 10 there hard to navigate, customers feel uncomfortable, but on the other hand simple sites are easy to navigate and customers feel relaxed and a more likely to buy!

I see exactly were you are coming from, even if it is basics, it is based upon how effective the website is, how eye catching and aesthetically pleasing it is and that doesn't necessarily mean its has to be super complicated to the point were you become confused or uncomfortable. Less is More and More is less in some cases.

[Oni]

Pure and simple :), dont worry about adam he complains about you making small sites then when you do a bigger one he says do a smaller ''/

[Lycan]

the design is Ace. the colour scheme i'm not such a fan of, i think hosting sites created by habbox members appear to be slowly loosing colour and i think bright colours that go together do attract more customers while a site like that you look at the desgn think Woa. then daze off when it gets to reading something.

[ChampJames.]

Love the layout. Brilliant design +rep

[Sygon..]

I like the banner but i wouldnt use it for a hosting company not too proffesional.

[Replicada]

Overall Oppinion: Very Good

Possible Alterations:

Colour Scheme
More Abstarct :P
Improoved buttons

But that can be done in CSS, through the use of hovers...etc
As I said, overall a very good design.

Something I hope too go into myself....
When I have the time that is...

[Sam]

Well done for creating another masterpiece Tom.

+Rep if i can.

[Jaysir]

The site is nice.. But it seems like it would be more of a Personal Bio layout instead of a nice COLORFUL hosting layout.

[BILLY]

I love it, alot, + rep :)
Love everything about it.

Thanks anyway ;)

Some guy above said it would be good as a personal layout. I think he/shes right. Its an extremely nice layout for a personal site, that If I had the money for I'd make an offer on.

Ty, BTW I've done that layout you wanted but it turned out **** sorry :( next time your on MSN talk to me


Thanks anyway ;)

Yeah it is sort of but I'm going to make it in a few more colour skemes to see if that changes.

I'll rep every one and reply to there posts later when I have more time

I don't like it ... for a hosting site :p
No, serieus, it's nice, but it would suit more for a tutorial/funforum/.. site, something to do with an community.


I dislike the top bar which has rounded corners when all the others have square ones, so maybe make them squared too
The drop-shadow on the top bar is too heavy, lighten that up ;)
I don't think that colour sheme fits right for a hosting theme, try flashy colours (warm colours)
Add some server images to make the user give an instant feeling that he's on a hosting company site


Anyway, I didn't read all comments so sorry if these are said before...

Good luck with the design!

When I started this I was going for a more of a community theme then a hosting theme, it's just the latest site I've started work on is a hosting site so I thought I would use hosting for the dummy text, although I may use this layout for the hosting site if I canrt make/get a better one.

I'll have a go and see what it looks like when I'm doing the other colour skemes.

It is a square, its the drop shadow and inner shadow effects make it look like its rounded

Yeah, I agree with you an that one, like I said before I'm going to do it in a few more colour themes

If I had any good ones or could make them I would have :(

EDIT: Sorry oil I have to spread rep but by the time I've finished giving every one ells rep who have posted feedback I should be able to give it you, also do you have any good quality images of servers?

I'll have a look if i can find/make some.
I made a 3D flat screen yesterday which will be used in a possible v2 of 2nd-design.com (info later)

But i'll see if i can make some servers for free ;) or just for you xD
I don't really give alot about the REP system ;)

[Mr.OSH]

Yes the overall design would probably fit a personal site better but it is still extremely good. :)
