    Default Site design..

    First of all i'd like to say that I am having a good hosting experience with WHB other than a few occasions:

    - when i was facing alot of down times with rs14
    - when my sites were banned for using more resource without a notice

    other than the above issues WHB have been a good host for me..

    I started as a reseller, got a hosting account too & recently I ordered a dedicated server..

    I personally don't like WHB's site design, for me its not professional enough I dont know about others.. for new clients the design might not be attractive on professional terms at all..
    when I was going to order a dedicated server I sent WHB's url to my business partner & he said the design is not professional, they dont look professional etc etc...

    for going to be customers design affects alot & I think WHB should change their website interface..

    I'm going to start by saying I like it.

    1) 1 particular "business partner" doesn't define whether a design is professional or not.
    2) Looking at other hosts I'd say it's one of the best I've seen:
    http://www.servergrade.com.au/
    http://www.hostess.com.au/
    http://hosting.webcity.com.au/
    http://www.bluehost.com/
    http://www.hostmonster.com/
    etc etc you get the picture

    i am not talking about a particular business partner, that was just an example.. there might be many other people who share the same thinking

    lets talk about zoom subsidiaries, xlhost, rackspace etc etc.. they ve got very professional look & design represents a company's image so i personally think WHB should redesign their website...

    Interesting thread. Open to all suggestions. We do like the design (we change it around a bit every couple of months).

    We have 2 full time web designers on our staff now so we can easily do another one.

    I can imagine a lot of reasons to choose one host over another, but their web site design sure isn't one of them.

    And yet, I can easily picture many of my clients ignorantly saying exactly that.

    Mr. vvenmouss:
    I think you are unprofessional asking here for others hosting, because some "people" said to you that.
    Please be more respectful to the people of WHB
    Best regards to you and your clients

    SEO has a lot to do with the current design of the website. The text and the number of graphics you see currently have been placed in this way for a reason.

    This also does not mean that we do not have room for change but I would like to give a good balance between quality content and graphics.

    We might want to work on the sharpness of the graphics on the site a little.

    First, I want to comment WHB's website for the code; it is cleanly done, and if you examine the code from some of the other sites (xlhost, for example) you'll find that the code is horrible.

    Now, as for design. WHB's design loads quickly, displays accurately, and is easy to navigate. I like WHB's design because it doesn't look like everyone else, but it is none the less quite professional to my eyes. I have never had a client complain of anything dealing with WHB's design. The easy navigation, actually, has helped me make it an easy choice for prospective clients to choose for web hosting.

    Just my two cents, but awesome job WHB, keep it up!

    dear grace its not about some people, its basically about what I feel.. the site loads fast and has an easy navigation too but I feel something is missing.

    Moreover the post in no means show disrespect but a suggestion which in other words means love!

    I can't understand who needs to disparage the work of another before leaving.
    And asking them where are your competitors?
    Good luck!
