How does my new hosting site look? - TheBlindHatter - 06-03-2014

Well I've been playing around with some stuff and thought I would ask for your opinions.

Please tell me what you like/don't like and any other criticism you may have. I am aware that I am blind and thus suck at GFX so please refrain from mentioning GFX (unless on the unlikely chance you like it Tongue)

It looks kind of 'cheap' to me, no offense at all. Just trying to help here.
It looks cheap because you use stock images (http://www.blindbeastservers.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/xeon.jpg), cheap images(http://www.blindbeastservers.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/slider%20server%20features.png), and the logo(http://www.blindbeastservers.com/wp-content/themes/emily/images/logo.png) doesn't seem very professional.

Try to get ahold of 1 style, stuff seems copy pasted in.
As you said, you aren't a designer so you won't be able to do this on your own.

I saw that you use Wordpress, just get a (paid) template. Most templates are decent for commercial use.


I hope this helps, goodluck!

Exactly this!

Also that font definetely doesn't belong there, Especially the color red.

Try to get a better template from Themeforest:

Also don't use bukkit, use spigot for hosting MC servers if you have a CP.

Yes!! You have to work on the Logo and that Red colored Font. It looks really cheap.

The Template is a paid template ($130 from WHMCSConnect.com) And I am aware of the graphics. I'm trying to get better ones I made the logo and slider images just so I can have something there.

Thanks for the feedback I plan to be fixing the graphics asap.

We use bukkit if players wish to have bukkit we also offer spigot and other mods/jars (people can also use their own jars if they wish).

You've paid to much, I see decent/great themes going from $15 to $50. Anyway let me know once you've updated it, I'll be ready to help out.

The font and font colors are really bad, you should update them as soon as you can.
Some of the images are overused, and some are blurry.
You should make your own or at lease replace them.

I'm back from the dead again and I've edited the site a bit

Can I have some feedback on the new edits?

Oh sorry should have probably mentioned that Tongue

I made some new images cleaned it up a bit put our verified SSL cert on it outlined some features and overall tried making it nice plus i rearranged the page a bit. I'm aware its not the best looking site there is but I hope it looks better then before.

Your thoughts?
