Custom cPanel skins...

Does anyone use one of these cPanel skins?

Do you think it'll make your cPanel better in a client's view? I think that anything that is graphically appealing apart from the standard cPanel look is a definitely plus - and will benefit in the long run.

But do you think that it really makes a difference? Are users now "desensitized" towards the plain look of the typical cPanel theme?

Anyone own a cPanel skin?

My personal opinion, a custom cPanel skin will go a long way with your customers. It just looks more professional, than the stock cPanel skin.

I would have to agree with soulwatcher as a customer I like it a lot better. It shows effort and professionalism.

Ok.

Thanks for the opinions guys. I will definitely be on the look out and will purchase a cPanel skin. I'll probably try to one up on that and see if I can get a custom one going on.

Thanks again

You know, normally I'd think that were true -- well actually it is true, however you can't expect that same thought from every customer.

I previously ran a web host, that did shared and reseller hosting. To add value to our offerings I purchased the RVSkin set for every server in our fleet, which came at a pretty penny of $85 per server/year. Not really a big deal though. However I once had one customer who signed up and was immediately setup. They thought the servers were fast, and great, but then filed a charge back. Why? Because he felt the RVBlue Skin as too cartoony, showed a child-like company. Overall the customer was simply acting ridiculous, but with paypal, they still won the chargeback.

Skins in my opinion are essential for clients, it looks more appealing and it is professional making it easier to reuse over and over.
