forumnz Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Hi everyone, I am making a website for my new website hosting business and I have come to a problem. Please have a look at what I have so far, and please provide me with any suggestions. Thanks, Sam. http://www.pricelesswebsites.co.nz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YourNameHere Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 Good start but what is the problem you mentioned? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forumnz Posted July 17, 2009 Author Share Posted July 17, 2009 Sorry! The problem is that I don't know where to go from here. I would like to get the colours right and to make it really unique and effective, but I just don't know what to do next. Any ideas? Thanks Sam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 I think the baby blue is too light. I prefer deeper colors that have more impact. I'm also not a big fan of the bubble type. Have you looked around at other hosting websites? Mediatemple.com does a pretty good job. As far as I'm concerned a hosting site should have a modern technology theme. Think servers, datacenter, corporate. Looks like you tried to start with a splatter grunge background, bubble text and very light blue. Not sure where you are going with the actual content area. Come up with a decent wireframe first, and build on it. I think it is a good idea to visit many hosting sites and see what they are doing.

TheFilmGod Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 It doesn't look very "professional" I know that might sound harsh but bubble text and a splattered image that you have right now yells "kids game to me" (miniclip.com) and not hosting. Check out godaddy.com for some ideas. I think their new interface looks very professional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILMV Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I would be cautious with the wording of Priceless. Most people I know live by the phrase "if it seems to good to be true, it probably is", so it's likely that if I stumble upon your site in a Google search, I might find the next search result. I wonder what others think of this? Also, you're sites purpose is to advertise your HOSTING services, then why is it called Priceless WEBSITES, again, in a Gogole search when scanning the names of the sites, yours would not stand out if I was looking for hosting.

Adam Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Although it's changed now, I've seen the original design (I didn't have the time to reply then). Kind of like others have said, I think the style you were going for didn't really match what your business was for - so I'm glad you're going in a new direction. The new design I'd say is more on track, but still doesn't quite fit. Also the definition of priceless states 'free of charge. zero cost'. I wouldn't label your product free of charge considering when you click the "Free?" link there's a price in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forumnz Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 Thanks for the posts everyone MrAdam, what would you suggest? I am quite stuck at the moment. I actually should have expanded on the first post a lot more. We are actually going to provide free websites in exchange for a min 1-year hosting contract. Any ideas? Thanks for your time everyone Sam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
