Right let me clear some things up.

I know 100% that the site isn't revolutionary. No where near the standards of to quality web design. But then how could it. I've been designing for less then a month. I didn't make this thread so I can be praised - seriously.

But I also know that the design is not THAT bad.

First things first. I know it's a template, but I don't think it's a good place to start. First thing you need to do is get hold of the content, styling lorem ipsum isn't going to help you design.

What is a good place to start then? And I'm not sure what you mean get hold of the content.

There is no cohesion between the main content area, the right column and navigation. The whole composition lacks a focal point.

I respect your thoughts but I'd have to disagree. And I'm not sure if a web hosting site is even supposed to have some sort of focal point. There is no part of the site that deservers more attention then the other.

There is no grid. Left column is indented about 5 pixels from the header.

Right, this is all very minor stuff which can be fixed with a few edits of the css. I'll be sure to take care of that.

Icons are from a different story.

Once again, respect your thoughts, but I disagree. I think they fit in alright.

Text on the live chat bubble is misaligned. What's with the copyright notice in the header? Centred text in the boxes on the left contributes to the overall messy look.

Thanks for pointing that out. Copyright notice can be edited or removed by the user. And yet again, I don't agree. Having them justified is definitely not an option and I tried left align and it looked 10 times worse.

Yeh I should start using unordered lists...it's a habit but it's not a big deal, the bar works just aswell.

Yeh you're right it did get cut out. Must have specified the wrong width for the div. I'll fix that asap.
