Question Need New Hosting Site Help Urgently!!

Hey Guys & Gals,

I have a new project that I am starting very soon and need some colour help.

Basically my web hosting site is making me sick of looking at it and I have now decided to rebuild it using XHTML valid coding. I have also collected 95% of the images I will be using in my design.
I have a general layout in mind but I am really stuck on what colours to use in the site layout.

I need help with colour co-ordinations and what the "In" colours are.

Remember this is a web hosting site so needs to attract clients and look professional. Hope someone can give me some help because I am stuck choosing what will look nice to the public

If you want to look at my current web hosting site then just simply check out my website in my signature. I will say that the new site will look nothing like my old hosting website.

Thanks Guys and Gals for any help you can give me.

Thanks mate,

I found Orange and Green do go together quite well and those where 2 colours that I was thinking of.

Thanks for the link.

I will post some up in the near future Stew but as of yet I have not done anything apart from create a blank HTML page...Lol.

I have 90 - 95% of the images and graphics I want to use so I only have to add them now and will hopefully have a page done with in no time atall, with any luck that is...

Thanks CV that has helped because now I know my new hosting will be booming the industry by storm...Lol.

Here are the colours I have picked and there meaning:

GREEN is associated with MONEY, nature, animals, health, healing, life, HARMONY.
ORANGE is associated with COMFORT, creativity, celebration, fun, youth, AFFORDABILITY.

I am not going to over-do the colours its more of a slight colour if you know what I mean. So the background will be white or a slight graduent of some kind. Nothing to drastic though.

I have a layout and images so really it's just the colour and I like the 2 colours I have picked. Some of the images I have collected have also got slight colour to them that would go with Oranges and Greens nicely. Actually they would probably go with many different colours.

I may yet even go with 1 colour and use images of the opposite colour but not to heavily.

As I go and it comes together I will have more of a view on the layout and colour co-ordination in the index.html page then if I don't like it it's only one page that needs changing.

Once I have created the page I will upload it and then link it here, give me a few days though whilst I try different things and styles.
