Who needs icons and graphics? Not GMail. I don't hear any overwhelming hue and cry about their awful graphics.

yes, but .....  I am good with code. I know what looks good, but I will never be able to produce a good looking website or even an icon. I will be able to slightly modify a template but any major changes will give you something a three year old would be proud of.  many people on this list will be like that.

what you need is a graphic designer. some one with some artistic ability. this is generally incompatible with systems admin-hood

This is an important point.&nbsp; The reality is that the interface is the
sell for the end user. ; We all are sold on the stable feature-filled
backend but it's the front end that sells the customer. I'm looking to
start selling email service using Surgemail and I would really like a
snappy looking web interface.

Thanks,
Wayne

I'm all about simplicity in design... the same mindset that has lead Google to be the industry behemoth should be our guide to a simple, clean and attractive front end.  What we have now is simple and clean... and if  we have to forgo attractive to keep simple and clean that let's not change.&nbsp; But adding attractive would be an important marketing move for the company.&nbsp;

Thanks,
