    Hello,

    I've been working hard to get HostMe123 ready for public launch.

    If anyone has any comments or suggestions, I'd be very grateful.

    Cheers,
    Emma

    I like the layout, but you desperately need a logo. You have a lot of content, which is nice. It looks like the google ads screwed up your header, it is out of line with the background image. Great work.

    Regards,
    Jordan

    The name is GREAT. I think you need a logo. I started a hosting company but never got it off the ground, it is GREAT to see someone truly building a idea and running with it. LOGO! that is the only thing

    @Juicewire - I checked the layout in FF2, IE 5.5, IE6, IE7 and Opera and it seems ok. What browser and version are you using please?

    @sakib000 - it's shared hosting on clustered servers (for redundancy), but the template I used is really heavily optimised and comes in at less than 40K, which is the real reason for the speed I think.

    And yes, graphics aren't my strong point, hence I chose a template with a strong header image to try and overcome the need for a logo. Perhaps I'll rethink that one then..:rolleyes:

    Thanks for your comments,
    Emma

    I agree with juicewire about the logo, plus maybe some nice looking menu buttons (not that you loose your professional look).
    I think you can biuld on the colors you have chosen which are very appealing, in my opinion.

    look at sakib000's screen cap. The second red circle is where the header image is out of line with the background. As he mentions, there is a problem with the shadow. This is because the shadow from the backroung continues below the green section of the header, but it is out of line.

    @sakib000 and juicewire - I agree with you about the grey border of the green banner - that is an oversight.

    The title does actually change colour slightly as you hover over it (well-styled CSS I might add!) but I do understand the need for a logo. It is on my 'to do' list and will get done.

    And yes, I agree the text links could be more prominent.

    Thanks for your continued support.

    everything is ok - layout is simple colors are good But as above someone said LOGO or BANNER - you can change it maybe a professional banner is needed for confidence...
