I just finished coding our new design (still has a few bugs in it) but I'd like to hear what you think about this design? What needs improvement? What you like?

Thanks,
Senad

EDIT: Please mind the content area (the middle) I'm still working on that trying to figure out the best way to represent the design).
 
Hi Senad:

1. The menu links in the yellow horizontal bar are fairly difficult to read. You might want to consider darkening them up a bit or lightening the yellow bg. Or perhaps make all your menu links white (including the ones in the vertical menu).

2. I see alot of inconsistency in the text on the page. You're using too many different sizes and colors for text. As a result, it doesn't tie together as a unified design.

3. It looks like you're using bold text in the body content. I would try to stay away from that. Use the bold attribute sparingly.

4. You should remove the comma after the word "QUALITY" in your header statement.

Hope that helps. :)

Ah I see a big problem in my design...I've choosen two colors that are such opposites that well..it is hard to get that link color just right. I'll probably end up making the top a little bit lighter and make the links darker themselves.

Vito thank you so much for the input. I've to now keep the font size to two sizes: 14 and 10 what do you think in regards to the font sizes now?
 
Your text color changes are better now, Senad. Personally, though, I think the font size of the vertical nav links is too large. I would make it a bit smaller, but that's just me. Perhaps others can chime in with their thoughts on it.

I think I agree with you after I played around with the size. I think that it looks a lot better now.

Also I had to change from white back to a ligher blue (Reason: Sign up links on white background on content became white :eek: ). Still look to maybe make the orange a little darker?
 
Looks really good overall, especially if you did it yourself. I might suggest making a logo for "SenchiHost" and some pictures of servers etc.
