I think it displays as intended in Mozilla.
Design-wise, it seems to me to be a very awkward site that is stuck
between the dark, low contrast complex and almost 'futuristic' image as
seen through the "Offering advanced technologies on high quality
equipment" graphic, and the light, high contrast, cleanliness and
simplicity of the rest of the page. I don't think either option is
better than the other, but you should select one and stick with it
(depending on your intended image and future business plans, etc). Also,
I think that the 'band' of dark backgrounds across the page acts to
separate your banner and content, which I don't think is a good thing.
If you want the clean simplicity which shows reliability (but a lack of
flair), I would get rid of the grey image. If you want to show that you
are on the cutting edge and are out there, go for the greyscale image
and get rid of the handshake. In this case I would also get the logo
redesigned in the same vein and make the total masthead/navigation area
take up less vertical space, as it seems to me to encroach on where the
content should be.
Whatever you do, I definitely think you should move the navigation. In
its current form it seems as if it was aligned to the left of the page,
but was then accidentally put in the center. It is also hidden between
the two eye-catching images. I would move the whole navigation to the
right of the page and make the text right aligned (move the images and
the mouseovers to the other side and ditto to what the others said about
the dhtml). It should also be re-styled to stand out a little more (or
more to the point, hold its own, but not become an eye-catcher itself).
It is also hard to notice the home and contact buttons in the top right.
Overall I would say your design is confused.
Content-wise, I was looking at your plan pages, and it was only on a
second round that I realised that I could get more detailed info about
the plans from the comparison page. Each plan page should have the basic
info about what technologies are available IMO. I am more interested in
whether you support PHP than what management panel you use.
