New Hosting Layout

[Kieran]

Hello,

Its been a while since I've been around these parts having to dedicate far too much time to becoming a commercial pilot! However, I have found time in the last couple of days to do a couple of website designs. My first design I wasn't particularly happy with, however with this design I'm fairly happy.

Let me know what you think and anything you think might improve it.

That is really nice! I dont think theres anything that needs improving, well done :D I remember you from back in the day also haha

[Kieran]

Haha... Back in the day. You make me sound old! :P
I remember you actually :P

I like it alot. Very simple but slightly too reliant on a pixel theme maybe?

[Suspective]

It looks fantastic. Very pixel-y (but nice at the same time!)

[Kieran]

It does look quite pixel-y but the only actual parts that are "pixelated" are the servers and the pattern in the background.

Lovely design. Despite the pixel feel, it really is a nice, sleek and professional design.

My only concern is that it may not be suitable for a web host. Even the darkest web host templates have bright colours dotted around (Lime greens, sky blues etc.) The banners greens & blues are too dim to make this impact. The navigation also is too subtle and could use more attention so the client will be eager to check out your services, pricing etc.

With these points improved you could really turn this into something amazing for a host.

Come on msn, I want to ask you something..

[Kieran]

Thats just an image. The actual preview from my site was coded.

Well, it fails in IE6, but every site has problems in IE6, it works fine in everything else and I think it's beautiful!

[Kieran]

I don't even own IE6 to check it anymore.. It's obsolete. I know exactly what the problems will be, you get it with every site you code. It's quite an easy fix, so I will probably do it at some point.

[iDenning]

Coded version is backup. Are you selling this btw, if so, how much? (might be interested)

[Kieran]

I will be selling it yes. I'll be making a plan page for it, making sure its cross-browser compliant first. Not really sure on price. I tend to stick them on WHT as a bid and see where they get to.

[Tomm]

Indeed, IE6 should be banned :P I do my part and block access to my websites I own if they are using IE6 :D

[Kieran]

Haha... There's something wrong if someone is still using IE6. It's an easy fix it's just time consuming because you have to add a bit of code to every single line of CSS that contains a float :l

[Swastika]

yeah its a quite nice layout, im not too keen on the pixelated look of it though.
still smart however, good job.
