    nice on design, but on onpage seo you need to work hard because you did a few mistakes.

    I think the overall design is nice. I like the color scheme and general layout. I also like how you are trying to make it more personal by showing photos of the 'team' and founders. The only thing I noticed at first visit was that the text in the blue box on the homepage "Passionately supported hosting solutions" and all the bullet points below is a bit hard to read because of the white text on light blue/white graphic.

    It designs good. I think you can optimize the site for search engine, such as to add a sitemap page to the site, etc.
    I notice that your site's page ranking is 4. It seems that it's not a new site.

    Don't really care for purple background. A more techie green/blue is more appealing IMHO.

    I do like the 'support ticket response time' clock. Great idea!

    Its nice, I would move the crazy big pipe from the right side of the page closer to the logo and make it smaller

    The website is not new, we have been going for 8 years. It is the design which is brand new. We've not had completely new design since we started up 8 years ago. Which is why this is so long overdue.

    Thanks everyone for your feedback, it is much appreciated and has given us lots to take on board and think about.

    The design is very nice, the background is a bit to pinkish for me, but it does give it a fresh and clean look. There are two things I noticed which I would change.

    When the page reloads, the pink background shows through in the main content area. It only shows for a moment until the white background loads, but I would change this so the main content area stays white when the page reloads.

    The second thing is I had trouble finding the "Home" link back to the main page. There is not one in the top navigation menu. I eventually found it in your logo but it was hard to find. I think because the big "pipe" graphic is predominate, it distracts from your brand.

    Very nice. Some are suggesting to change the color but I think it's good. I'm not the biggest fan of purple but it is good to have something that sets you apart.

    The webpage looks fine, but usability wise it has no focus.

    At the first glance your websites design doesn't really tell that you are offering hosting and related services. Also I think you really need to change that purple background color.

    Background color (pink/magenta?) looks more like a perfume site and it clashes with the blue. Listen to the feedback given and trash that color!

    I agree with many that the background color is a bit overwhelming. Pink tends to be a very gender specific color, and I tend to avoid it as much as possible in what should be a fairly neutral design. I do like the overall layout though - the 3D pipe thing leads your eye around the page quite nicely. Despite the large amount of content, I think it's laid out very cleanly and it doesn't offend my eyes at all.

    The only thing I really have some strong critique for is the footer. I think there is an abnormally large gap between the body content and the footer content... the space there could be halved, if not more. I also think there need to be a better differentiation between the category names and the links themselves. Perhaps make the category headers the same pink you used for the "log in" and "about pipe ten" links at the top? I would make the copyright statement a point size smaller to get it all on one line.

    Aside from that, nice work!

    Wrong forum. There is a forum just for website reviews.
