Interface design for a new reseller web hosting service website

When I show Milkhost.com to my friends, always the first impression is that the site looks unprofessional.

Well, that was what I wanted it to be :)

I got bored with seeing template design hosting websites with stock photos and confusing plans. I know many such sites are only reselling services run by one person. So why not tell that? I read an interesting business advise post somewhere that if you are a one man / small business better tell it clearly.

Being a startup service, I feel people will trust me / Hostgator more than a silly web design template I have. I started this service with selling to friends and web design clients. Now even people from web search have started buying. So, definitely this design is not bad :) May be when Milk Host grows, I will need to make the site more self-functioning and real time. Then, I can also experiment on different interfaces.

Have you seen any other sites like this? Though not exactly like this, I like the personal touch that Dream Host has . What is your view on the site’s simple interface? What more features, info can we add?

P.S: Milk Host is growing but definitely not one man show :) So, don’t worry about your sites being dependent on one man :)

    Hi Ravi, i agree with you. But every site’s design must be related to what content / service its offering.

    So i suggest you to go for a simple minimalist design for Milk Host rather than the default thesis theme’s look.
