Wass up folks.

Can you review my webhosting company site.

Thanks

Certainly. First impression - the graphics are very good and attractive and could produce you the sales. You can work a bit more on the overlay and border style.

I don't know why you put the pic of prehistoric cartoon woman in there. But, for me it's not make any sense and I don't see any relationship between the pic and the content about share hosting.

Maybe you can add after the price in the front page start at $3.95 a year or a month or a day.

Two thoughts -

1 - it is a little cluttered. Try for more negative space.

2 - The site was slow to load - about 6-7 seconds for a simple home page. Not a good sign for a web host. You should have your site on a different account from your clients, if necessary, to make sure it loads VERY fast.

I'll tell you exactly I think. Take advantage of anything I get right and ignore anything I get wrong.

Maybe you can make some of the icons, letters and graphics smaller, this should reduce the cluttered look.

OK, I went to your site and saw what it was all about. The title was misleading at first, until I read up what you had at your web site. Then, it made sense to me(check), but the picture in the home page, well, it just didn't fit in. Think about maybe a more professional picture, it could help out on first impressions. My first impression was, What is this? Anyway, I will be asking others to review my web site . So, feel free to review it, when I post it.

Not bad, clean and simple design. I would suggest little more effort with SEO.

First impression: childish

Replace the logo with the one that gives more confidence and please forget about the picture of the prethistoric woman. Web hosting bussines is all about reliability, and your site doesn't communicate that.

Frankly, I'd never put my site on the stone-age cartoon hosting. Sorry for being straightforward, but sincere critics are the best way to improve your work.

I truly enjoyed looking at your site! Very fresh design! The only thing that bothered me was the somewhat scary picture of the man at the top. Depending on your market, this may not be suitable.

Try this.. stand up (really, stand up).. and take 3 footsteps back.. and just look at your webpage..

Now, see on wich visual ''element'' your eyes fall on first.. and second.. and third..

In my case, my eyes falls on the scary ugly cartoon women, and unless your married to her.. you should dump her. (or replace her).

Figure out what you want your visitors to do first, and make that the DOMINANT visual element. And the second thing the second dominant visual element etc..

Also.. there are a lot of things competing for my attention.. a lot of graphics.. make some of the graphics look smaller so there is a balance.. so your visitors dont have to break a sweat trying to figure out what your site is about and where to go next..

OR, remove some graphics, go for the ''less is more'' look like Apple does, and D&G, and all other superdesign brands.

Hope that helps dude,

Cheers

I like the fact it has a different look from your typical hosting site. My eye was first drawn to the caveman picture so it took me a minute to figure out what your site was about. I agree with other posts here, you should rethink the main picture and perhaps add a bit more white space for readability. I love the colors.

I like the overall feel of the site - it is quirky and hip. I do feel, however, that it is difficult to take in everything that is going on all at once, hence it is a bit cluttered as others have suggested. You are on to something here - keep up the great work.

Okay

I see some repeats here

Cave Man and clutter

Okay i understand the cave man thing ... and i am in photoshop right now creating some thing more Modern hosting related cartoon.

What do you guys mean with clutter ... do you guys mean there is too much text or is the stuff put in the wrong order.

Thanks

That's is a great Design. But you can improve. Overall its perfect! Liked the simple logo

Work on your whmcs integration.
Change the "top of the art" in the 99.99% uptime to "state of the art" (english not you're first language?).
The design work is good quality.

Regarding the childish design aspects.
I targeted china with a very childish design for a free hosting site a few years ago and a sent a very badly translated (childish) welcome message to new signups.
We bacame the fastest growing free hosting in china within a couple of days and made it onto the top of the largest free hosting forum in china within the same period of time.
We grew so fast it actually caused us massive problems.
I did quite well selling the traffic from that (spammers whose accounts I deleted).
Sometimes childish can work really well.

Looks good - any reason why you don't have a phone number easily visible on the site? One option I've used in the past is virtualpbx.com - although Google Voice is free and does something similar.

Nice design, keep the good work!!!

Sam Fowler

Based on the earlier points in the thread, looks like you've improved the overall site look and feel.

First thing I see (or don't see) is SEO related.
What's your main keyword phrase? That should be first in your title...ie
"Shared Web Hosting Services - FatHive"
Rather than a "Welcome" in the H1 tag - put the main kw phrase in H1 and H2.

Some basic on-page SEO would go a long way.

Good luck.

Site is simple the color behind must be change. Well Width and Breadth must be same as its size is not placed in proper. Loading problem in your site. Images takes time to open.

The first thing i noticed in your website is of course the crocodile right at the top.It made me feel that its a very refreshing look on professional webpages which might be interesting. I noticed the " Learn More " almost immediately after that. It caught my attention quite well as the colour tend to stand out. It should be able to catch attention of potential customers as well.

the design looks good. I would however change the dark background or make the width 95% or even fluid. I would also change the navbar color to something bright. a deep red color will do.

Looks great. Reminds me a little of HostGator's new look.

Th only thing I see that I might change is the font size of "Premium Web Hosting Service". Maybe a little bit bigger. When I first looked at the site, I didn't know what the site was about.

Still--- GREAT WORK
