Sk84life Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Ok this is a new web hosting template i made. Its supposed to look clean organized, professional, and sleek, I think I accomplished that with the blue and orange mix. But i need some suggestions. Btw: does it look professional? http://www.ho5t.us/uploads/6ce39a03ec.png Edit: i forgot to mention, i will be re-doing the banner in flash with rollover buttons, sounds, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatsilverwyrm Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 The only thing I don't like is the vertical menu in the upper-right corner. The style these days is to have a horizontal menu somewhere. Although I guess there's nothing wrong with going against that convention..but I think it could be done better/differently than it's being done now.

Sk84life Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 Yes i agree with you too, i was thinking about making it longer vertically and adding a horizontal menu under the banner, Got any other c&c? Edit: In the flash banner i am going to have some motion tweens with the arrows like coming together and the lights in the backgroung sorta flashing on/off occasionally.

Gunnit7 Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Very nice template, looks nice clean and profesional.. with flash on the top right corner you should make the rollover turn orange, then code it and its done. Pier pressure? I can just see you being threatened by a wharf or jetty because you're a teleporter. Yes, I can see a large wooden wharf uprooting itself from the shore, walking over to you and slapping you in the back of the head for teleporting.:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercifull Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 It looks ok but theres nothing special about that that makes it stand out against all the other premade "hosting" templates. The same blue and orange with greys. Try for something a bit more original. And you cant say the ppl in that pic are your staff unless they genuinly are.

Yes i woulf much rather be doing a portfolio template where i can be original and use new colors, cool designs etc. But alot of companies are looking for a professional/ sleek design.

I beg to differ, a lot of companies want something to stand out from the rest and be remembered by the end user. The kind of people that use these kind of hosting templates are 15 year olds with a reseller account. I dont think its professional or sleek at all.

entangle Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Every crappy hosting site uses templates like that. They normally shut down after like a year.

entangle Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 Well in reading my post, it SHOULD prompt you to go make something that everyone else isnt using. Anyway, if I think it's crappy, I will say so. I'm not going to lie for the sake of "not hurting your feelings", truth be told, make something different.

Sk84life Posted May 28, 2005 Author Share Posted May 28, 2005 Anyway, if I think it's crappy, I will say so. I'm not going to lie for the sake of "not hurting your feelings", truth be told, make something different. Thats good, dont lie when your giving somebody cirtique, but then again dont leave short comments that dont explain anything. And btw yes i am done with this site now, I just needed an example of a simple hosting site for my portfolio. what kind of site should i try now? i nee some ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatsilverwyrm Posted May 28, 2005 Share Posted May 28, 2005 It doesn't have to be completely original to be sleek and professional.. Granted it does look like 3 dozen others, but, I know a good few sites that all have really similar designs and are all doing really well..so.. *shrug* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
