    Well, a light color scheme has something to say for itself. Other than that it looks about the same to me - not that I hang out there or anything.

    One possible suggestion. As sites get larger - filling up with media - the "Server Level Backups" become more important to site owners. But of more specific interest would be "Average time to restore a site", and that doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere. Also the cost to restore a site. I don't mind a small fee, but I sure hate to think it would take a day or two!

    We wanted to retain our brand colors but do away with the dark. I think the lighter element of the site is much easier on the eye and the aim is to get people to read through the site instead of leaving after 1 or 2 pages. Our current bounce rate is rather high.

    I think the backup issue is more of an operational one. Are you talking about if the entire disk system of a server fails, how long it would take to restore all of the sites from our backups?

    Yes, I didn't mean to hijack - I was just looking for anything amiss and that's all I could find.

    I suppose what I was thinking of was something like this, which isn't too difficult to find on their site, but I couldn't find any info about it on this new site at all.

    Nice colour combo Matt and i like the inner div so you can change the background image without having to change the background colour.
    To be quite honest i'd rethink the testimonials module it is a bit confusing and hard to understand.
    I do see one problem though the footer dive needs the height taken out an a margin put in
    #footer-content {
    background: url("../images/design/bg-footer-rep.gif") repeat-y scroll 0 0 transparent;
    margin-bottom: 10px;
    padding: 0 21px;
    At present the copyright is half in half out the footer block (on FFox)
    But overall its a nice fresh looking site easily readable.

    Have you removed the stylesheet and images to do some work? The page outline loads, with empty places for images and no styling.
    I am not WHB staff and I am not paid.
    I provide help in these forums on my own time.

    Alan, loads fine here in IE, FF and Chrome (latest versions of all). Windows 7.

    What OS and what browser? I'd like to check ASAP.

    Screenshots would be very much appreciated.
