    I think the arrangement could be better. try putting the 2 big visual at the top and the "live support" button looks like an ad

    Hmm..i think the cartoon charatcer makes your site theme looks less mature..Perhaps you could work on that?

    Nice design, I think you should change the cartoon with a real image.

    Looks nice and professional, but a little too busy for me. Arrangement could be better as stated above, but overall it is very nice.

    I think the "live support" button could be lined up at the right. Otherwise, the bottom under comments looks a little cluttered. Great job though - I like the cartoons but am not sure how relevant they are to hosting :)

    If you are going to use a cartoon charater, you'll want to use something that's in the public domain or creative commons. If Warner Brothers sees your logo, they'll be after you in a heartbeat.

    Nice, attention grabbing site. (and I like the 'cartoon character), but what's this at the bottom of the home page...

    THC Latest Blog Posts
    "; echo "

    * "; foreach ($rs['items'] as $item) { echo "\t$item[title]
    * \n"; } if ($rs['items_count'] <= 0) { echo "Sorry, no items found in the RSS file :-(
    "; } echo "

    "; } else { //echo "Sorry: It's not possible to reach RSS file $url\n
    "; // you will probably hide this message in a live version } } // =============================================================================== // include lastRSS include "lastRSS.php"; // List of RSS URLs $rss_left = array('http://web-hosting.tophostingcenter.com/?feed=rss2',''); // Create lastRSS object $rss = new lastRSS; // Set cache dir and cache time limit (5 seconds) // (don't forget to chmod cahce dir to 777 to allow writing) $rss->cache_dir = './temp'; $rss->cache_time = 1200; // Show all rss files foreach ($rss_left as $url) { ShowOneRSS($url); } ?>

    ----

    Otherwise, in my mind, a very effective site.

    I have to admit that, being low on graphic skills, I borrow from the talents of others to get what I need :)

    Your site is a class above.

    Sorry I had to delete your link - I'm not qualified on this forum for live links (yet).

    Exactly. Those toon characters looks unprofessional and because of those, the site looks dull. In place of those try to put any 3d glossy effects images.

    Too many space on the bottom, you could try to fix it, it will be better.
