[QUOTE="Markshall, post: 404093, member: 1872"] Nothing really flows well. There looks to be about 6+ different fonts being used here. Colours clash too much. Inconsistent styles. First off I think your navigation links are way too big and I think that you should remove the drop shadow on the first and last nav-items, and then have the background set as that grey colour you have rather than white. So then it's one long grey navigation running across the X axis of the page. Next, I think the grey background for your 'search your domain' is far too heavy. It doesn't compliment the purple well at all and actually makes it quite hard to read/see. I'd definitely reduce the harshness of that grey. This may seem very nit-picky but it is design based. I can't see how you can visually represent the statistics in your 'customers to date' section like you have. This applies to the other 3, but your 'virtual servers' circle border is almost complete and is set at '157', so it looks like you're setting a limit of how many you can sell. Do you sell maybe 160 and that's your cut off limit? I'd make them either full bordered circles or find a different way to visually represent this data. I really dislike the idea of using green as a background colour in your 'try us today' section. That should definitely, no doubt, be purple to make it flow with the rest of the website and keep it consistent. My next bone to pick is the header titles of each section (our promise to you, fast loading times no matter what device, our benefits, customers to date, what our customers said). I personally think these should all have the same styles attached. Some have a purple set-width line under them, some don't. Some are centre aligned, some aren't. Some are in block-capitals, some aren't. They also have different fonts. Keep these styles consistent to make the page run much smoothly. I honestly think I'd struggle being able to tell if I was on a different section of the website because they're all so different. I really don't understand the last section with the trees as a background titled 'PWVM,' what exactly is it? Is it a footer? Is it a new section? To me, that looks like if you removed it from that design and put it in a new PSD document, it could be the header to a separate layout altogether. Next up, I think there are far too many credit card icons. Just show the main ones (visa, Amex, MasterCard, etc). Finally, the footer. I would swap the positions of your social icons and the newsletter subscription. I'd reduce the spacing between and size of the social icons, they're too big and far apart. I'd definitely remove the text that says 'Newsletter Subscription,' these things are very common nowadays, as soon as someone sees a field at the bottom of a page, I'm sure they're going to know what it is.
