    I like it, seems easier to navigate with more information avaiable with having to click anywhere.

    I voted "It's ok, could be better". Much better than the last design though.

    Need to get rid of the unnecessary horizontal scroll bar that appears in the footer on some pages.

    @Ryan, I sent you an e-mail the other day. I'm not sure if you got it or not. Please reply to e-mail. Thanks.

    No problem at all.

    The white background in the copyright section of the footer didn't look right when the horizontal scroll bar was underneath it. Now that you've corrected it looks much better now.

    Offtopic: Have you thought about offering some Reseller templates to your Reseller customers? I know of a few other providers that do this. It's definitely a good idea to offer some decent valid X/HTML templates.

    I will get a new design for my site soon too. The Web 2.0 look is the way to go now.

    Definitely better, looks much more professional rather than amateurish.

    Could do with a little polishing off here and there, the attention to detail, I often find it when giving a large web project to a developer who works from my designs.

    1. Some of the yellow text in the fading band has black around it, some doesn't, it's better without, keep it consistent

    2. If you're using rounded corners, such as in the left hand panel and menu, use this throughout. So make the panel containing the hosting packages have round corners too. Remove outlines where possible, it cleans up the design.

    3. Just a small detail but bring the content away from the left edge slightly and keep it consistent with the right

    4. make the price tags rounded on the bottom too, like "Start a live chat" etc in the footer, the ones on the dedicated server page look great

    5. make the footer area the same blue as you have on the arrows within the fading panels at the top, too many different blues at the moment.

    6. Make headers, UK WEB HOSTING and CHEAP WEB HOSTING lower case like Affiliate Program and "About EUKHost" on the about page for consistency, make them bigger too, these are important info.

    7. About us and contact us int he menu go over on 2 lines (in safari) making the menu look kinked

    8. On the grey menu bar put a touch of padding(or margin) on the right edge of the text, it currently butts right up to the right edge of the white rollover (in safari - haven't tested in ie)

    9. Romove the white behind the copyright line at the very bottom of the page, make that sit on the background colour so the page footer ends with the blue panel.

    10. On several pages round off the right hand top corner of the left panel. See reseller page as an example, also get some consistency between the blue on the left panel, the shading behind the headers and the blue in the fading area at the top.

    A brilliant update and well done, hopefully the above tweaks will be taken on board and polish it off, I can see you still have to do the Knowledgebase, Forum etc

    Integration between WHMCS and the site would be nice. After leaving WHMCS you cannot tell that you are signed in or not which is not very good for usability standards.

    I have experience with integrating WHMCS with a very powerful CMS which allows you to login and display that you are logged in whether you are in WHMCS or on the main site. I created a custom AJAX/JSON login system on my own hosting site that uses WHMCS and it works nicely.

    Other than that the site is looking much better than previously.

    Agreed. There is good reason to get the billing system to look the same as the website. Potential users are put off from purchasing if going from website page to billing system and design starts to look different. Loads of info/stats about that on the web.

    Well worth doing the WHMCS Integration. I offer basic WHMCS Integration for £9.95. It's quite easy to do with pure CSS/X/HTML designs. Can be a bit of a PITA with Joomla type CMS systems or designs using pure tables though.

    BTW I don't know if you have noticed it already but the navigation only seems to work on the Index page Web Hosting Service Provider in UK

    It doesn't work on other pages like Dedicated Web Server Hosting Services in UK only at eUKhost

    It's my first time on the forum but it rates very highly in trms of being new user friendly. I've been on some that are so difficult for a new user to find their way around. Not this one though, other forums should take some tips from you.

    Just noticed something...

    In the animated images at the top, on one it says "starting your own website business has never been so EASIER".... this should be EASY.
