Their new design looks so cool :) Just noticed it this morning.
http://www.site5.com/

To be honest I thought the other one was better ;)

It is very hard to read any of the faint writing. I have poor eyesite but that website is very bad.
Let me know if it is just me and I will get my eyes tested

It is kinda hard to read, but I think it's much more professional looking and could be good for their image.

I do like the overall design of the site, it does look very proffesional, they need to do something with the writing.

Looks nice to me, but.....

Sometimes I think we are the only ones who put so much emphasis on design. The best examples are simple yet very effective sites such as Yahoo and Amazon-nothing on either home page that any designed couldn't do in less than an hour. Yet, it doesn't appear to have slowed their traffic.

Over and over, surveys show the surfer prefers simple, easy to navigate, and fast to load and beyond that just doesn't care as much as we do about the design itself.

By the way, I do think the Site 5 site meets all three of those criteria in addition to being aesthetically pleasing.

What else do you expect from them? Their designs always rock! However, I must admit, this one is a bit illegible in places, but it's still very nice!

I want their old one :D

Amazon and Yahoo do it to save bandwidth costs :D . They are taylored to the novice web user, maybe even those on 14.4k, and most web hosting audiences are not for the people that just booted up a computer for the first time.
just my opinion:rolleyes:

I love the site !! great job site5.

While the elements in the site have a good direction going for them, the most important part is a pain in the ass to see... the nav.

Fix that nav site 5, larger, clearer somethin

Very nice indeed :) The site just has that cool feel to it. If only they would see this and darken the nav words.

After going through the rest of the site, i'd have to take back what I said before. It's a fantastic site. I love it when each section is modified as to not give a template feel.

works for me although if you have a crappy monitor and you are about 40 years old and cant see you may have a tough time reading it.
