Avinash, thanks for the feedback. These are good suggestions. Please see my responses below.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
1. The contrast between the green in the background and the font colors seems to be less. The<br> background color is a little distracting, and takes the eyes away from the text. Either the background<br>
could be a lighter shade, or the text needs to be darker/bolder to stand out.<br></blockquote><div><br>I made the navigation buttons bolder to accentuate them against the green background. I can make the background a lighter color, but I just used this shade because its the same color we already had, to give us some sense of consistency. Its not my favorite color, but I wouldn't really know what other color to choose if I had nothing to go on. Suggestions welcome. Also I was thinking that the main content of each page will be in the white box rather than on the green but what do people prefer?<br>

the page to be perused by people who expect to join, and we perhaps could do with just telling<br>
them why they should join, along with a link for how to join. A minimalist message may drive home<br>the point much faster than having to wait for a info tab to slide into the view.<br></blockquote><div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>The link to join must be bolder for sure - and possibly be something like a big button near the center of<br>
the screen like so one just can't miss it.<br><br>For instance, <a href="http://www.mailchimp.com" target="_blank">http://www.mailchimp.com</a> 's design makes the join/sign up button so prominent. Also,<br>most of their content is below, and needs to be scrolled into view for someone who is interested. For<br>
most, the temptation to click on the sign up button right away is too much to resist :)<br></blockquote><div><br>I'm all for the minimalist approach, so reducing the amount of stuff is
fine with me. I took a little bit off just now. Should I kill the
sliding thing and we can use the space in the white box for a big "Why
you should join HCOOP" section with a big button? I agree that we should
make that prominent. (But I do hope our website will have visitors who
are casually shopping for web hosting, and hopefully the site will
convince them to join.) <br></div></div>
