Default Web Hosting UK New homepage

I posted this in another thread but thought I would post again in the suggestions area.

Have you ever thought about getting a new website altogether? One of things that put me off signing up when I first saw your company was that the site looked like a $5 template site... It would really improve your company image if you had an original slick design... and as the others have suggested above make it more personalised to show you arent just some guy in his bedrooms starting a hosting business with a free template.

Sites like Rackspace and Media temple have really slick corporate sites... and if you didnt want to goto the expense of getting a new site you could always cut a deal with one of the many webdesigners your bound to have on your books.

Or even better do a competition where people design and send in visuals for an alternate webhosting.uk.com homepage and the winner gets a free package or something.

Sorry i'm getting carried away!

lol - have to admit I don't like the Web site either and it hasn't been updated for years.

I think I also said in the other thread

I don't care what their site looks like - I would rather they spent their time and money on making sure their existing customers got good service than trying to attract more.

Don't see the point in starting another thread - unless you are going for the free domain

If any of our forum members can provide us with a new design which includes all packages and content of existing homepage then we have no problem in paying respective member if we find new theme quite convincing for all other members.

We wont take your theme without paying you so there's nothing to worry about payment part.

I would of course love to put my mighty design skills to the test...if only I had any. Sadly I'm artistically undiscovered although I did design and am quite fond of this site websitemortgageservices.co.uk which is a not exactly a shining example of CSS but was knocked up in less than a day and I think looks rather pretty

It looks quite artistic. You are most welcome to make a mockup for us. we will have it for review for everyone over here and we will proceed with it if people like it. I personally dont know how to discriminate between designs as so far I considered our existing design to be best

Ah no I wasn't putting myself forward for the job - I simply don't have the time I'm afraid but I'm sure there are lots of people out there who do.

I might give it a bash too, though I can't make any promises at the mo. If nothing else it will be good design experience.

give it a try. Who knows what you can come up with. Maybe we will have a combination of 2 themes to make completely new design.

I've just been mucking about with your logo and it is starting to look like a coiled dragon. Hmm, a dragon theme, top predators of the hosting world... Probably not, but fun none the less. :p

p.s. Sexy metal dragon.
