My New Site Design
Hey Howdy Folks,
Long time no post but I have been on vacation for about the past month. Anyway, I wanted to get some feedback about my new site design. It isn't flashy or anything, I was just going for clean and informative. So, check it out and let me know what you think.
strangepup's new design
Thanks!

Great site!

One thing I would recommend however is maybe using regular text for the header text. Seems like you make them into graphics when they could just be set to 11 or 12 pt.

Overall: Great site.

Good point. I agree with you that text usually is the best option, but I was messing around with the idea of using more <alt> tags to see if they will help boost my search engine optimization. It is difficult to offer hosting services and get any sort of search engine exposure. Companies are paying $7-$8 for pay per click listings through overture and I definitely can't afford that.

Site looks great! I really like the simple clean design, and the colour scheme goes great!

I also like the mouse-over effect on your nav bar. The "X" looks nice, and I may have to borrow it some day!

One thing I would recommend is to do something with the pop-up window that appears everytime the home page is loaded. It may annoy some visitors. What I would recommend is to add that to the front page itself. Make a section on the left or right part of the page and advertise it there.

I agree...it is annoying...I gotta change that.

Oh yeah...that sounds good...free dedicated servers for everyone!!! Actually, I am going to run some promotions with other websites offering free shared hosting for six months or a year as a prize. Not quite as good as a dedicated server though.
