    Thumbs up What do you think?

    Hey guys,

    We have been doing some updates to the look and feel of our website and want a little feedback. This is phase 1 of a larger overall redesign that is in the works. What do you think so far?

    http://www.limestonenetworks.com/

    Also, we have added a small section that will allow our clients to get to know our account representatives a little better. This is something that will be expanded to a more comprehensive bio in the future, but check it out and let me know if you think its effective.

    This redesigned version went live about 10 minutes ago, so you will get the first crack at it!

    Not impressed, I feel its a common design/layout, a bit cluttered too.

    Somehow it does not make me focus on your product and services.

    Thanks for the honest feedback. Like I said, we are on phase 1 at the moment and value productive criticism. We are looking for a design that pops. The old design was a little dated to me. I see what you mean by being cluttered and we may try to simplify things...

    I liked more plans on the front page as people think theres more to offer right away. Overall though I like it, One thing I have always wanted on your site is to show the prices once you visit instead of having to click configure first.

    Theres tooo much in there, you should think about Scraping some of it. Or if not, make put a flash animation and spread the information over 'slides'. But it is very cluttered with stuff. =/

    I like the green though.

    I agree, as it's right now way to cluttered.

    I opened it and was like, "New Design, OOOOHHHH Lemme see" and then I told myself "Where do I start reading".

    I mean make it wider and fix the background images as they are stretching the page.

    If you give yourself more white or black space in your case, it will look a LOT nicer.
    Not sure what to put here :-P

    Limestone is a very good company & I have heard many positive reviews about you.

    The only problem is, the website design is really low-quality.

    I lost a lot of credibility for your company when I first saw your website. It makes it seem like you don't care about getting a good design.

    Not hating. Just giving my $0.02.

    As previously stated, the design is a bit too cluttered. Adding some more 'black' space is not a bad idea

    I have to point out the "Meet the Team" section. It really pulls off a professional look most companies can't.

    Yes, as everyone else has stated, very cluttered. I like your choice of colors however. But, too cluttered.

    Hey guys, thank you all for your suggestions so far. Once our designer stopped crying from criticism, we made a few changes that I think de-cluttered the site a bit. Nothing major, but let me know if this is a step in the right direction. We have been focused on adding some network pages as well to give a little more info about what we do, so feel free to check those out while you are looking around.

    Eh, looks a little different. Still cluttered in my honest opinion. I think the text in leftcontent needs some padding, and the amount of text in the few posts is, well, not good. You could sum that up in an html list.

    The chat buttons on the bottom right aren't needed since you've got that in the open and obvious spot in the top.

    It's a bit better but it should really be re-designed completely if you really want it to look good.
    Surely a large company such as limestonenetworks could afford to hire a better designer?

    How about a fluid width design like the footer?

    To be frank it looks like a blog.

    This design/layout reflects as if you don't have much products/services to offer hence you are filling up the space with unnecessary text an all.

    Another point why product and service is given less importance, like Live Chat is small whereas twitter thing is big and prominent, Hall of Fame (wrong wordings for current sale) is center staged whereas become a reseller is sidelined.

    BTW by Hall of Fame I thought some good customers of your, it's confusing.

    So keep wordings plain & simple you must be attracting many non-english clients too, so think about it.

    Just like Sam said above, you need complete re-design.

    I won't comment on use of colours as that is an individual choice and the current use is not bad actually.

    Sub pages are fine too, its the homepage that needs more work.

    Honestly, your design popped for me - just in the wrong direction. My perception is that Limestone is one of the better providers out there, so I kind of expected your new site to reflect that. I'm not sure I agree with the term cluttered, but your home page needs some work. Overall, it is functional and has lots of potential. And I also found the Hall of Fame confusing.
