There's an awful lot of information in a relatively small area. Try to lessen the amount of text. I can't quite put my hands on it, but it hurts my eyes. I'm not trying to be mean but it does make my eyes sore. Maybe it's the overbearing yellow. I'm not sure.

Oh, maybe it's just me. I don't do business with companies that advertise a mobile number. I may be in the minority, not sure. Geo [or non geo] numbers on VoIP are very cheap these days. You can get a good 1890 number directed to an 076 VoIP number for a fiver a month via BT. Something to consider.

Very hard to design something that everyone would like.
I do agree with the point you made regarding the contact number.
Your feedback is much appreciated.

Thank you Blacknight, thank you

• site still under development contact details on the way (getting office. tel numbers etc etc )
• did not sell 37000 Euro worth of services yet (still at spending stage) so I'll register for VAT a bit later
• I will display more company details asap
• I'll sort out the cookie details asap

...and so much more to do


Thanks for all the info. Your time much appreciated.

Not gonna lie - I think it's baaaad.

There's too much going on
The colour scheme isn't great
The "money back guarantee" and "price match" images are ugly/don't match
The peeling effect on the "install whatever you want" banner is ugly
All the different logos coming out looks a bit ugly too

It just looks very unprofessional. Probably would move straight on if I came across it yet alone hand over credit card details!

Have a look at some competitors. Quick Google brought up this. Much better approach in my opinion. You don't have to carbon copy it but you can always take some "inspiration"

Thanks for your opinion

BTW....
Quick Google?! brought up that?!
You work for them or you designed it ?!
Or what's the reason why that site came up in your search?

I kinda like the logo - It's never straight forward to plan and execute one of these in my opinion, so fair play to you.

I do agree with some of the other posters that the first page may be a little busy for a landing page...would you be better off with curtailing the features listing and guiding customers to a 'What's included' section.

I would also make reference to payment methods and no mention of Contract duration on initial page - is it for a rolling monthly period or is there a 1 year sign-up?

Also wondering why price is quoted in US Dollars as opposed to I assume primary target market currency of Euro on home page.

Well done though and I hope things go well for you - might even give you a try in future!

Don't know why, but i prefer to see as much as possible above the fold. Too lazy to scroll down, or I'm just still brainwashed by those "heat-maps".
Not sure

The plan is to have a contract for a year, with money back if someone cancels within 30 days for whatever reason. (this would apply to hosting) T+C will apply if they got a free domain.
I guess i have to work on the above and make it more visible. (aaaaaaaa the small print). I'm not trying to hide anything, I'm trying to be fair.

The price is in Dollars, because you accessed the clients area, then clicked the "home" link, and you arrived on the .com domain I have to find a "cure" to that.

And finally thanks for taking the time to look at the site, and you're more than welcome to test the services anytime.

Just an observation. "The fold" is an idea from print media. It doesn't exist on the web. I understand what you mean but different people have different size screens but the world and their dog are well used to scrolling.



Blacknight doesn't work for Spiral. The hint is in the name He was just trying to show you an uncluttered home page in the same business area. He obviously couldn't show you his as it would be seen in a dim light as the quickest way to a banning around these here parts is for hosting providers to start a turf war.

Yes is true about the dogs and the scrolling

Regarding the link to Spiral, it was not posted by Blacknight Was posted bycarlmango11

Thanks for your message

BTW..
Got my phone number in order. Hard to find a half decent land line number, but I finally have it up and running

I really thought hard before responding to this post as I wasn't entirely sure if you were genuinely looking for responses or just cheap advertising.

Giving you the benefit of the doubt:

It's horrible, it screams 'cheap back-bedroom reseller account'.

I've even deleted the part of my response which addresses the 'unlimited' resources you offer for less than €7 a month.

No, not looking for cheap advertising (here).
As regarding the services this company provides, i can assure you is not "cheap back-bedroom reseller account"
And there are plenty of hosts, offering what i offer. Have to be competitive, don't you think?
And thanks for your opinion.
