Step 1
Let’s start out by creating a new file. I used a 1000×950 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with white color. Now make a new layer set and name it 'Header'. In a new layer draw a large rectangle with #0097F6 color shade and 1000×130 px dimensions on top end of your canvas. Then in a new layer draw a dark gray rectangle with #202020 color shade and 1000×30 px dimensions below the first rectangle.

Step 2
Under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add a Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow and Gradient Overlay blending options to your dark gray rectangle layer.




Step 3
Now crop an image with a 350×212 px dimensions for the screen. Then under Layer Style(Layer > Layer Style) add an Outer Glow and Inner Glow blending options.

Add a content box for your Reseller Hosting Package below the 'Why Choose Us' section by duplicate the layer set. Replace the checklist graphic with a hosting server rack design, download it here. Now make a small rounded rectangle with #1E1E1E color shade and 120 x 52 px dimensions below the hosting rack. Then in a new text layer type your price on the rounded rectangle using font Verdana, bold, none and white color shade.
