    Please give me a general idea of what you like and dislike about the site (just look at the homepage for now).

    Also, if you know how to make the horizontal scroll bar to go away and how to correctly align the title text for our plans on the right, that would be greatly appreciated :)

    Any kind of feedback at all is appreciated!



    Regards,


    Max

    Template breaks in IE7 - the right column isn't floating as it should. Also, that paperclip looks as if it's cut in half and sitting on top of the sticky note.

    Looks good, aesthetically.
    Might wanna get rid of that paperclip though.

    Yes, I see there's no problems with FireFox. I just tried it on IE7 for the first time and noticed that the right hand items appear way lower than they should.


    Anyone know how to fix that?

    Hello oTourneysDOTcom

    I had a look at your hosting site today.

    My Thoughts

    Logo
    I like the logo but would suggest the following

    Have the following words on top:
    OSHQ Hosting

    and the following words underneath:
    Only Super High Quality

    So it looks something like:
    OSHQ Hosting
    Only Super High Quality

    Template
    I find that your navigation is a problem. Right now it sits in a middle column. I would suggest that it be set as a top navigation so that you do not use so much width for your content area.

    [​IMG]

    This seems to happen in 2 browsers (FireFox & Opera).

    I also found that in Internet Explorer that both right columns totally disappear.

    [​IMG]

    What happens is that they show up below your content area. See image below:

    [​IMG]

    Navigation
    Most of your navigation links are not functional. I did find that the order link worked but it brought me to a page different than your original template. This made me wonder if this page was real or maybe your site was hi-jacked. I would recommend blending the page to your template.

    [​IMG]

    Conclusion
    For a hosting company, I would recommend fixing up the additional items before going live. Especially for the comfort of new customers who have the benefit of browsing other hosting company sites.

    This review was done with 3 browsers (FireFox 2.0.0.9, Internet Explorer 6.02 & Opera 9.24) on Windows XP SP2.

    I do hope this was helpful.
    Much respects,
    Lhlalyam

    Hello again oTourneysDOTcom

    Good to see the navigation column removed. I previewed it with the 3 browsers and it looks the same in all three.

    I'll keep myself posted as to any other changes that you have coming about.

    Respects,
    Lhlalyam

    Very nice design. Definitely removing the navigation is a good choice. However, you should at least make the rest of the links using black background. Feel like I have navigated away from your site the moment I click on Order. :)

    I will try to add my logo somewhere in ClientExec (order system).

    I don't think I can make it the same theme as the rest of the site because it just wouldn't function as well.


    More reviews appreciated :)

    Looks pretty good - I would suggest moving the right hand blocks to the left. Studies repeatedly show that items on the left get more attention and views... and thats important since this is your business!

    Good luck.

    Thank You! We will look into that.


    We have not finished developing some of the links (busy with lots of new clients :)), so the site will look better very soon.



    All of your reviews are VERY appreciated!
