    New layout review before goinglive.

    Hi,

    I have been playing around with site layouts and I just wanted to know what you guys though of this. http://www.planethosted.com/testing/testslice.php

    Any suggestions would be great but it has no content yet so imagine theres lots of stuff to fill it up!

    Thanks

    You slogan is too awkward to say. How about something along the lines of

    "Planet Hosted: Serving Earth Since ..."
    or "Assisting Earthlings Since ..."
    or "Over ... Earth Sites Served"
    or "It's All About Location, Location, Location"
    or "This Site Claimed In The Name Of You?"

    etc.

    Your heading fonts could be better. They look a bit fat. How about not bolding them.

    The overall design is clean, but when looked at, it just doesn't give me that, "Buy Now" look?

    Cant really put a finger on it?

    Wish I could help more?

    To be honest, those layouts are getting REAL old...They all look the same.

    ok Thanks the reason I choose this layout is its simple clean and there isnt crap all over the place. Just easy fro customers that know nothing to read.

    Thanks

    plus they should be to the left of the menu not to the right

    Don't take this the wrong way but it looks like a modified template. I've seen those images all over monstertemplate and I really don't like them.

    The logo unimaginative and overused in webhosting.

    The fonts are ok but the menu fonts are too large in my opinion.

    The content seems unorganized and just thrown on. There is no grid that it follows and it ends up looking messy.

    this paragraph bug the crap out of me:
    Aprils phpBB special is on now. 800 Mb of space, 30 GB of Bandwidth and much more for only $9.99 for as long as your with Planet Hosted! Click here for more information!
    It's in a different font than the rest of the site, and there are lots of grammatical errors. It shoudl be:

    also, I think the PHP, Perl, MySQL, etc buttons should be made smaller, all the same size, or make your own.. so they blend in better than just sticking out there You could just write, "supports php, perl, etc".
    The copyright, etc font is different too

    Ok Thanks, The only pictures from TM are the top part. Its way different from any TM site but same general idea. Ill try and arrange the content a bit better. Any more comments would be appreciated.

    Thanks
