EarnersHost.com - Thoughts?

[Jamie Barton]

Hey,

Just wondering what y'all think of my recently redesigned site by a mate of mine, my url is http://www.earnershost.com

Does it get the product across? I'm thinking of adding a banner on the left hand side above the blue boxes that will highlight the prices a bit more and link directly to the hosting page.

Thoughts?


Thanks :)

I like it. It's clean and simple, just the way I like it. I do think there is something missing however. The content area seems sort of empty at the moment. For some reason I think what it needs is for that gray in the header to extend as the background for the content.

I think it's fairly good, too. The logo does seem a bit like a template, however; also, a few other things that caught my eye.

On the Company (http://www.earnershost.com/company/) page, the list items in blue appear to be links -- you've got a blue color and an underline. Try to avoid doing that unless you're actually going to make them links; it's just a usability thing (actually, this is done throughout the site). Also, the graphs on the main column are completely complimentary ... why have both?
On your Packages (http://www.earnershost.com/hosting/) page, you list CentOS twice, under different headers. By the way, what on earth is Offline Support?
On the Packages page, all the image links on the left are broken (e.g. backups, security, reseller)
In FF, there is no underline on the second line of text on nav items which wrap. E.g., "Extras" is not underlined in the nav item "Hosting Upgrades & Extras," below the reseller button.
The forums (http://www.earnershost.com/forums/) have an entirely different look-and-feel.

Mostly all little things; overall it looks rather good.

I like it, looks professional and well thought out. Which is what you want for a web host :)

Thanks Jeff,

I'm working on styling the forums, I was also thinking of removing them as people are using the ticket system for help anyways, so, im unsure. I'll still style it though, i thought this also yesturday. Thanks, you've backed up my opinion.

Offline support is a phone number to my office, ill make this more clear.

I'll also sort the links out for the company page.

Reseller plans will be announced tomorrow.


Thanks again Jeff, i appreciate your comments :)

@All; Do you think the hosting product plans are easily recognisable? Or do you not look further than the homepage on initial landing?
