    Nice, I like it.
    It's clean and simple.

    The only thing I would say is the titles on the left ("cpanel login" etc) should probably be made bold or a little bigger. Just something to make them stand out.

    I'd also make the "sign up now" link a bit bigger so you can't miss it. Same problem with the hyperlinks, with all the text being black it is hard to determine which bit is a link. Just change the colour of them.

    And why not make the fields the same length?

    Looks great though, nice and clean

    Nice and tidy
    A few things that would make it a bit better are:
    • Make the top nav bar the same width as the main section and the bottom credits panel.
    • Make the username and password textboxes the same width, and the spacing on them looks a little off in Firefox. Plus maybe make the submit button look slightly different as it just looks like another textbox.
    • Make the links stand out more as they just look like text at the minute, either with text decoration or with a different colour.
    • The view full package link shouldn't be one of the bullet points as it isn't a feature. Make it stand out more. Maybe combine it with the Sign up now text which i would have expected to be a link.
    • Make the Headers on the left panel the same as the headers for the hosting packages
    With those few tweaks i think that your there.

    I see the slight difference. I will probably keep the layout and everything the same, just use php include lines so I dont have to update 15 pages to change the date on the footer.

    Thanks!

    How about this? I did a search for "free logo templates". Not the greatest, but I dont ever remember seeing it before.

    i think the main page should not scroll. maybe make the disclaimer wider and link to the tables

    also I thing the keyboard icon need a border of some sor also the .before the catagorys is odd maybe make them bars instead or somthing.

    and I totaly agree the logo needs work i like the icon from above but the font seems underdone for it but somthing else then whats there would be good


    thats my 2 cents

    heres somthing I came up with that I thought might be a good match for the feel I get from your layout. the fonts freeware but somthing could be done i'm sure

    Ok, just about finished, may be accepting "beta" accounts here in the next few or so. Any final thoughts on layout, color, legal issues, etc?
