The PHP Fog web designer could learn a few things from the Pagoda site. I found Pagoda much more informative and has better usability than Fog. The graphics and images on Pagoda aid the user in understanding how Pagoda works and why it's better than traditional hosting, instead of hitting you over the head with over-the-top beautiful graphics that ultimately don't say or mean much as on Fog. The typography also makes the copy easier to read. The video demo is very slick.
It's funny, I almost down-voted you thinking this was a sarcastic post since my first impression of Pagoda's homepage was "wtf?" - but, their site caught my attention and encouraged me to progress through the process to find out more.
I'm not sure whether the designers of Pogoda's site are flat out geniuses or skating on thin ice.
