Review my new web hosting company

sleepysentry · 11-18-2007, 04:23 PM

After much effort, my free web hosting company is now operational! May I introduce to everyone Spiro Host.

The design is 100% unique by me, and optimized for use with Firefox. What do you think?

Thumbs up for getting a dedicated server

-top bar looks good, though I'd consider using a capital H on "host".

-narrow body looks a little odd underneath the full width top bar

-text on the image is a little hard to read, and AFAIK, "hastle" is not a word.

-text in the 3 columns outline your services nicely

-text in the first column needs paragraphs to break it up

-text in the second column does not line up with the header (unlike the other 2)

-bullets in the 3rd column do not line up with the text

-i'd suggest making each of the columns more seperate areas and making the links at the bottom line up horizontally

-bullet points in the about us section are hard up against the border

Sorry, not enough time for a full review tonight, hopefully there's some useful feedback in there for you

Agree!

Top header is very fine, but I would certainly recommend H over h. Besides Home, FAQ. why not a link for Contact? as example "Contact Us"

In the form (in top header) A pre-comment that says "Customer login" would better make someone understand "Yes this is the login box!

"

Your site looks fine, but missing the hosting feel. But do not get shocked, it's impressive already, congrats!

The page loads fine.
The page looks a little gloomy to me. Maybe too dark. Suggest brighter colors on some parts of the pages.
I like how the top banner changes every time the page refreshes.

ok. I have something to comment on the design as well.
First, the top menu with Home|Faq looks quite weird, as it's small and try choosing a different font and try adjusting its position
Then try aligning the text about the hosting offers and features and use some nice buttons instead of the "register for free, register in seconds and sign up now". It would look much more better and professional though choosing the right buttons can be quite hard as you may be required to change some layout colors because of it
Try making a custom box for the moniker affiliate program, as the current one doesn't fit in there

and finally some more notes, use DIV's instead of tables, it's much more organized that way and much more professional. After all, it's a hosting "company"

anyway, good work on the template

oh yes.. and in the title make space between Host and - so it looks like Spiro Host - Free Web Hosting though you could also remove the space between Spiro and Host

Regards,
Vlad.
