Wanted: Website Review New WebHostingBuzz site - thoughts?

[mdrussell]

Hello Acorn,

We've finally launched the new version of our UK website at www.webhostingbuzz.co.uk.

I like the direction the site has become and the depth we've added to it. But we're sat on the service provider side of the fence... which means I'm really keen to get some opinions/feedback/ideas from anyone on here who could spend a few minutes reviewing the site?

Thanks in advance

Matt

Why no pay monthly plans? That will lose you custom I should think

It would make more sense to me if you were called Buzz Web Hosting, as that says web hosting company, rather than Web Hosting Buzz, which sounds like a web hosting review site.

Top left you have a logo of yellow, orange and red squares. This is a very generic logo and does nothing for brand recognition. Using a bee as your logo would be better.

Come up with a graphic for each of your hosting packages to add interest.

Change the colour of your tick bullet points to make them stand out.

Priceless.

Hi Scott

Just because for time reasons I have not updated my collection of sites does not mean I don't have opinions on design best practice

Very useful using it from my mobile yesterday (as a mobile responsive site) to access the live chat system ref. a server issue I had.

Surely you would only want them to stand out if they were all associated with important CTA's?

Otherwise you are adding to many top level items of visual hierarchy?

I just think it will lift the design if they stand out from the background.
