The dashboard look very good but the create account page OMG. It's just too complex !
You need to organize your form, and may be split non mandatory info to another page to give people opportunity to complete the form quicker. Here, I don't see me filling this form twice ;)

Wow, there really is a lot going on here! Is there no way you can hide unfilled sections of the forms with some jquery script until the user needs to see it/fill it in? This is quite a standard practice now, though I can't think of any examples.
If you could hide parts of the form until they're required I'd mark much higher.

This is almost really good. I think the header and logo are really pulling the design down. Try to simplify the header so that it matches the content area better. The content area is fantastic and really well organized. Keep working on this, it's almost there.

The dashboard looks really good to me. I like it. I can see it's also easy to simply even more for each user if they want to, so that's good. As is though, it's laid out cleanly and very organized.
The account form is a different matter. If I look at it long enough, I can see the most of the info is standard stuff (address, tel, etc.) but it sure doesn't look that way. My suggestion would be to change it to a vertical form, not horizontal. I'm guessing you want to show the whole thing on a single page, and if that's the case, no problem. Only show one section at a time, and have the button say next and just show the next step until the last. Or something along those lines. But that form definitely needs to be simplified.

Hi Karunakaran :) I presume this is an early design because all table heading are the same (name/date/action)
I would call them Dashboard Widgets not Dashlets. I know Sugar uses that name but it's still not popular
I would make them lighter in design
I dont' think you need action view icon - clicking the row is by default a viewing link
paging inside a widget does not make sense to me
I would change pencil icon into short 'edit' link
You should be able to squeeze in more rows if you remove all this white space in tables
Make sure that in edit Account screen all fields in each section are vertical not horizontal. It's crutial because that is how human eye works - down line by line.
Keep with the good work :)

Things I like in dashboard page: 1. Nicely laid out design. 2. Good color schema with maximum white space utilization.
Things i would like to change in dashboard page: 1. Font selection
Things i would like to see in the dashboard page: 1. Print feature 2. minimizing/maximizing dashlet (panel). 3. dock/undock dashlet 4. love to have alternate row coloring if the dashlet is maximized. this will increase the readability.
Create account page:
- confusing layout.
- better to have top to bottom approach.
- form labels looks like buttons
- less vertical spacing between label and form element
- better to have a green color for save button and cancel button

The portlets of the dashboard are well done only issue which i see is with the pagination, it doesn't tell how many records are there in totality and the color pallet for the graphs as it is not consistent. The colors used in the first graph are low on saturations while the colors used for the other graph is high on saturation. Therefore they don't set the right color theme

Crisp and clear screen. I like the way u present, can focus more on icons u used

Dashboard:
Light blue is not contrasty enough. Makes page look very drab.
Dashlets (not thrilled with the name) do not provide enough useful information. There must be something other piece of data for each type of dashlet that would help the user avoid drilling unnecessarily. It may require reducing the overall number of dashlets but make them more productive. In addition, because they all have the same set of data columns it is difficult to visually distinguish which one is which without reading some details.
How about adding a zoom button to each dashlet that expands that dashlet to fill the whole dashboard with more detail for each item. Pressing button again returns it to it's orginal size.
Paging of dashlets generally doesn't make a whole lot of sense. They should be able to click through to the main module for that dashlet where they get a larger set of rows per page. The dashlet should just show the top n items and remove the paging controls to simplify. (the expanded version in the point above may be worth paging)
Account Creation:
The layout is not natural. Makes it difficult to follow and process visually. Try the following:
Move Rating up to Quick Add section (at end)
Combine Primary Address and Contact Info into single Contact section with 2 columns. First column contains address fields organized like an address:
Street Address 1
Street Address 2
City State Postal Code
Country
Check Boxes for contact/shipping
- Second column contains:
Email
Work
Mobile
Fax
- Tab order should run through all address fields in order then all phone fields.
- Note change of Pincode to Postal Code (more generally understood world wide)
