Update: New version
-------------------------------------
As per the suggestions posted here and those emailed or PMed, I've modified the template a bit.

* Bolder, brighter, more "visible" look
* More balance between the two colors
* Clearer address bar (restored WinXP color)
* Added mouse pointer (to make address bar more obvious)
* Added rollover example
* Added Sample plan information
* Larger typeface for sidebar links
* Less obtrusive watermark

Heres the link:

So there you go. New and improved. Better? Worse? Other suggestions? What do you think?


Original Post
------------------------------------

It's not quite finished, but I wanted to get some opinions, ideas. This one's specifically designed for business hosting. The site name, contact info, etc. would of course be changed to the name of whichever company buys it. They'd also get a PSD, HTML w/javascript & CSS, and perhaps a flash intro. Let me know what you think. Also, if you want to buy it, let me know for how much.

Also, I'm available to design fully custom templates, site designs, and backend stuff (PHP, ASP, SQL, security).

Not my first website design, I've been doing this for a while. This is my first web hosting design and my first template. Thanks for the encouragement!

Looks good; a little 'faint' in colors though. Try to use more contrast.

I see what you're saying, timechange. I was going for a somewhat relaxed overall apperarance that's why I wanted to use calmer colors. I chose to get most of the impact from the primary graphical elements (the person and the addressbar) and the flow of the text in the main headline.

Wow, very professional looking, though you spelled resell wrong, but that can be changed anyway.

I think it is too faint. Why do you want focus on graphical elements when you are trying to sell web hosting?

What's your minimum asking price? This is a very cool design, and personally I'm into the faded look ;).

Minimum is $50. Also, I did a second version, which is here:

Ver. 2:

Ver. 1:
http://mskds.onestop.net/template1.jpg

See my first post for a list of changes. V1 and V2 are both nice IMHO, though they suit different preferences. Tell me what you think.

Thanks, timechange. Any suggestions for V3?
