The layout and images look very good. One thing I would do is encode your email addresses to try and prevent bots from spidering your site and spamming your mailboxes.

For your mailto: links, use these instead:

Simple and good.

Only thing is you may want to lessen the anti-aliasing on the logo because everything else is so sharp that it makes the logo look blurry. I like the simplicity.

I like the simplicity.

Thanks guys! Still need more tweaking done. I think the navigation menu can use a little more flare. I'll be changing the left side, I just needed some sort of place holder, but I'll be changing the email links so I won't get those damn spam.

The simplicity bothers me in a way. While I hope to target businesses and individuals, a lot of other hosting sites have all these fancy flash animation and lots and lots of 'cool' graphics. I'm not attracted to these type of sites, but it's known that people tend to choose companies based on their website. However, it shouldn't boil down to that, and if I can target the right market then I shouldn't have a problem attracting clients.

I Like it. I also like the logo and your use of color.

I like the design ... and I always think the clean, uncluttered sites look more professional than the ones with all the sliced images.

On my lousy dial up connection your page loaded in about 8 seconds. Not bad! "fancier" sites take forever, and I bail out on them.

I like to use the simple obfuscation format Tim Williams from the U of AZ has on his site ... see http://www.u.arizona.edu/~trw/spam/index.htm for a description of his methods using character codes, javascript or a complex encryption scheme. I found using the simple character codes works to fool the bots out there.

sometimes less is more... those fancy flash site dont always mean better or more professional because 90% of the ones used for hosting companies are all templates so youre bound to bump into another company with the same layout which isnt a good thing.

good work
