i would say still too many buttons and the header is place on the left it should at center.

I don't know about using Alien Ware computers on your website unless you have some deal with them. I'm not sure if they can do anything but it might be possible.

very clusterd, its not to bad though

I agree with it being too clustered. The header buttons stand out too much.

Hi

My general opinion on this site is that there is too much for the viewer to take in at once.

The grey paragraph at the top is hard to read and you don't want that as it is likely to be the first thing the surfer sees to find out what your site is about.

The services you offer looks like you are selling computers - cheaply . I think you should seperate them off and have the structure for each one the same but with different colours.

The navigation is multi-layered and has a unique effect. It seems to work but there seems to be too many of them. Perhaps drop downs (shudder) or a sub navigation on the left.

When you are designing this type of site, imagine you are a business with no clue about website design and hosting. You are suddenly confronted with a penguin, computers, a crown looking circle and more computers... I wouldn't put so much on as I say.

The date on the top left does not look aligned and you don't really need the time... they can have the clock on their computer do that. You may also want to look at other hosting plans from rivals like hostgator.com.

This "Findaname.co.uk will not be held responsible for the misuse of a individual action on this website, all links and content is checked daily and if you find inappropriate material you must contact us at [email protected] . Any copyright infringements by visitors whilst visiting this site may cause disruption of services and downtime due to bandwidth theft, we may seek legal action against those who do not obey the privacy policy and terms and conditions." can be on a seperate page under a link like "terms and conditions" or "disclaimer".

The computers look quite nice (though macs are better...) but you are really selling web hosting. I assume this is still a work in progress as the link don't work and the domain prices don't link anywhere.

You have no doctype and some html errors: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=h...charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline

You may want to consider using XHTML and hand coding rather than using frontpage. Also I suggest adding some more META that may help with search rankings.

It's alright, I would redo navigation

That is exactly the feedback i was looking for, although my template is clustered i can now figure out how to arrange things properly, music man made it quite clear what needed to be done and im grateful for that plus the imput given by everyone else.

Thanks
