CodyColby Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 First, allow me to say I am a very new webhost, but have had a bit of IT experiance. I would also like to say that I am active on no forums, because its hard to find one that I can really get involved in, but WHMCS forums are my home away from home now. I have finaly found forums that I am very glad they are here. Now, as to my initial question. Again, I am a new webhost, and I tried a little something of my own here. I took the admin template from whmcs, and tried to convert it into a hosting website, now me as the one who did it, kinda likes the look and layout. Very easy for customers. But I would like to get opinions from you guys on rather or not you like it,and how it can be improved? This would be a major help to getting my company which just started, and really, hasent even really started, because I am still improving the site and client area. Also note, the client portal will be integrated soon with the site, that is a WIP. Please leave opinions and commmens. Thanks, Cody Colby 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

railto Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Hi Cody, As someone who is working on a new site at mo I know how hard it can be to come up with a new concept site. I like the initial layout of your site, the admin interface style seems to work (which i initially didnt think would). As you said its still a WIP (as my own site is) I dont want to be too critical, however you could do with some more images in it, just feels like a lot of text, I would also suggest maybe creating pages for your hosting accounts rather than just using the cart, as appealing as it is to set it that way, i feel that it just doesnt work. I wish you all the best with the rest of the site design and will check back to see how its coming along. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianoz Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Your prices are way too low - even for someone starting out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

annomander Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Without enough content its feeling to stretched out, don't use 100%, make it either 1000px or 760px width. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyColby Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 If I added a bit more content, and images would it look better or do you sugeest I still make it smaller? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easyhosting Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 If I added a bit more content, and images would it look better or do you sugeest I still make it smaller? why not get one of the many web hosting templates available online (paid or free), adapt to suit you and lnk this to your WHMCS 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annomander Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I would go for a set width, maybe one to fit on a 1020px width screen, I can't think what the correct pixel dimensiosn is, something like 980px. Need to get some logo sorted, try either istock or http://www.pixellogo.com/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herpherp Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I think that the design was meant for an admin area, it's not really a "website design"(maybe just because of how we are use to seeing it) also it is broken up viewing at 1440x900 unless I shrink the web browser 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DataHosts Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Honestly not a fan of this layout for a website hosting. The header in Chrome is messed up with a with bar, the menu text is black when hover over making it hard to read, and just not something I would use for a hosting company 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyColby Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Ok. Well, I will look for something else to use. Its just hard sso I figured i'd use that. But thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impact-John Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 not feeling the layout at all with how it sits now try reworking one of the many templates like the new v4 portal for an example there is much you can do with it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
annomander Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Ok. Well, I will look for something else to use. Its just hard sso I figured i'd use that. But thanks. I don't think its too bad as everyones saying, I think its a start, you have the basis to work on and then need to improve, bit by bit, get the overall sorted first, the size, the content bit on your first page is nice. Do that then post again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodyColby Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 Ok, I am currently working on a template, which is a lil better I think. It should be up within an hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
