Looks great! Just one thing; pull the site design all the way through, INCLUDING the forum

IB

It is amazing work indeed. However I have a few comments

First off, the colors you used are doing great work, neat template. But with IE6, there is wrong or bad alignment between the arrow image and header name (>) We are hiring and same for (>) Cpanel .. You would look into fixing this easy problem..

My last comment is about links placed just above client area .. they are too small.. and I really made efforts to view them clearly. Increase the font one bit..

Other than that, amazing job, good luck with your site! :wave:

wow! what a site. everything's professional as it is.

but one thing I realized is it contains a lot of "template" feel to it, as in it looks too similar to just any random template you find, which although isn't necessarily a bad thing, lessened the website's originality as a whole. So my suggestion would be to add in some bells and whistles of your own and it shall look even better

From top to bottom

Safari 2 on MacOS X 10.4

* Top menu is in two rows (should be one row or each row should have a different colour scheme)
* JPEG artefacts around "Support at your fingertips"
* >Domain Names, > Web hosting and >&More links do not work
* In the Domain search box, there seems to be a white rectangle coming down on the right of the Search button. It makes a hole in the edge of the box.
* The Search button takes you to domaintools Whois without passing the domain name you entered
* Text below "Cpanel 11" and "We are hiring" is justified. That means inconsistant and excessive white space between words. Use ​ to insert invisible word breaks in long words.
* There is a thin grey line touching the Bronze Shared, Silver Shared and Gold Shared boxes.
* If the screenshot is for cPanel, why don't you put "Cpanel 11 Demo" above it?
* Forums link in the footer does not work

Firefox 2 on MacOS X 10.4
All the same, additionally:
* The part from the top down to the Client Area and Search Domain boxes is wider than the rest by approximately 10 pixels.

I have currently fixed a couple of the problems. I have added the cpanel demo above the cpanel image. I have fixed the justified. I have fixed the forums link not loading on the bottom in the footer. Do you think it would be better to integrate my forums with my header?

It looks very nice, although:

The prices on the homepage could seem a bit confusing - http://www.hostparlor.com/images/index39.jpg could easily be mistaken for $350, although I assume that you are intending for it to be $3.5.

In the top right, where the phone number is, there seems to be areas of fuzziness, could to with sorting to make it look a bit better! - http://www.hostparlor.com/images/index22.jpg

Other than that, great job!

looks pretty good, does have that sort of template feel to it as others have mentioned.

One other thing, is the text over teh blue background towards the top is burry. You should really fix this and make it easier to read.

Hi it is me again!...

The bottom part is much better now. Shouldn't you put a link for the text "Cpanel 11.2 demo"? BTW I tried to load the demo and it timed out.

The prices need a dot separator, also font size of the price needs to be harmonised between all plans.

I see that you implemented some of my suggestion for the top menu; unfortunately that is not very effective as the difference between the two rows is very subtle. Did you try changing the colour of the bullets?

I did not notice a problem with the artefacts around "Support at your fingertips" this time around. I am looking on a different monitor though.

"Domain names", "Web hosting" and "&More" still have no effect here (Safari 2). Are they Javascript?

The white rectangle next to "Search" is still there (huh, can't add attachment.)

The "Server Info" or "Current Status" screen blinks a "Possible Denial Of Service Attack" message, that is not good!! Can you make that a little less real-time?

Ok i have redone the hosting plan images. Much better, i am working on the top row. I cannot seem to figure out how to fix the domain search where there is a break in the picture. Please tell me what you think about the 3 new plan images.
