Okay. After edit again and again, here is my finalized review on the new Exabytes.com.my website. Seriously, I ain't a professional designer and I don't know how to give comment. Anyway, it's my pleasure to write a review for Exabytes for launching new website and I'll just voice out my opinion.

current layout

new layout

Overview

To be frank, when I first glance the preview page, I was quite disappointed actually because I expect there will be an amazing page with stylish design, vivid crisp pictures and layout yet I couldn't see much differences on the current layout with the new layout except the page alignment moved to center. Let's see the background, the preview page using white as background colour causing the whole page looks a bit empty and seems incomplete. Thus, I suggest replace with other colours instead of white or add some graphics behind would be better .


Content
On the top of the page, the newsletter subscription bar conveniently allows customer to subscribe newsletter but i think it should be moved under "Support" section because not much people will subscribe the newsletter. The "select a location" bar already exist in the current page but they added a small world map which I kinda like it. So I think the words "Select A Location" are no longer necessary since the small world map already represent the meaning and personally, I prefer the web page with less words more pictures. Besides, the links to blog, forum, log in and contact us page have been removed. Well, all these could be found under the "About Us" section but where is the log in page? I couldn't find any place to log in in homepage or perhaps we need to search in the Google search bar?

Next, they heightens the convenience and flexibility of the navigation menu by listing out more options automatically once you point at any options in the menu. It works well and with this, we no longer need to click a thousand times to get what we want and we could easily jump from certain page to another page with just one click. And the "Hot News" it's just the same with the "Latest Offer" in the current page but they moved it to upper side and make it more obvious and could be seen easily. Perhaps a tagline should be added in here too?

The body. Well, I don't have much opinion about the body part but I'm fond of the big pictures. It attracts me and makes me really go to the Xtudent web hosting page. The body displays all the important information, service and products that clients want to know straight away. Anyway, I think they should list out more offers, services and products instead of clients testimonials because I don't think people would really go for testimonials.

What can I say in the "About Us" page, they indeed done a great job. The " About Us" page obviously much better than the current "about us" page. The story about Exabytes in the more details way and they included the reasons to choose Exabytes, testimonials and awards which could attract more customer and show the reliability of Exabytes.


Conclusion
The new Exabytes website using a simple layout yet looks professional and amazingly effective for the services, offers and products that the web site is promoting yet i think inject more graphics and pictures would be better. The business-like content enables customers to understand exactly what it about in a short time. Good work.
