Looks like you have a problem with your ssl cert. It's not trusted.

Oh dear :/ apparently you're one of the 0.7% which the provider doesn't cover. I'm sorry, would you like me to disable it?

I intend this as constructive criticism, so I hope you understand that and take it as such: please hire a designer. Email is an app one stares at all day, it has to look good. Not fancy, but restful and pleasing to the eye with function dictating form.

I promise I will hire a designer as hire #1, I'm aware my design is atrocious :D

I agree. It kinda looks like a HyperCard stack.

I hit this too - what does "doesn't cover" mean above? If two people have already hit this you might be having problems with more than 0.7%...

I actually like the red and black. It is powerful and direct, but probably won't appeal to all sensibilities. Good luck.

Yes, once-upon-a-time it was #F00, which felt like your eyeballs were getting torn from their sockets

Design is something I find quite difficult, and I usually keep my head in the backend

I really, really, really want to hire a designer so I can stay there, but being self-funded makes that impossible

It's not just the color scheme, in my opinion. I'm not a fan of the font, a lot of the icons don't carry semantic meaning (for me, YMMV), etc.
