Hi everyone, After being here for half a month, I see lots of potential of this great forum. Anyway, straight to the point: Check out: http://www.bounceweb.com I need you to: 1) Go through the site and look for ANY problems, or ANYTHING that can be improved upon. Please be creative, I'm very open minded to improving the site, 2) Then post a reply with: -The full URL of the problem. (i.e. http://www.bounceweb.com) -What the problem is. (i.e. On the first line you wrote "Teh" instead of "The") -What you suggest I do about it. (i.e. Change "Teh" to "The") -Why you have suggested this. (i.e. Spelling is important). (Obviously this is the most simple example, I'm actually looking for the suggestions that are worth $10) ---------------------------------------------------------- Note: I am the one who is choosing how much to pay out, based on complexity, and answer. The example above would net 0.25, if you found 3 spelling mistakes on 3 pages, I will pay you 0.75, etc. I will be as fair as possible. For the sake of being fair, I am asking people to post a reply instead of PM, because I don't want to have two people suggest the same thing via PM and I tell the second person that it's been suggested, and they won't be getting paid. One last note, please do not suggest title names or URL/file naming for the pages, I'm aware of it, and will edit them shortly. Once they have been edited, I will open this up so people can suggest better titles/file names. I will also post who got paid and how much, unless you note that you would prefer not to have that listed. Thank you.
Additional notes: 1) Please put your Paypal email in your post. 2) Grammar corrections will be $0.25-$0.75 each, I'm looking for the outside the box creative suggestions. 3) Please do not add to your posts once you've posted, just post another one if you have more suggestions. 4) Please read others posts so there are no duplicates. Thanks all for posting so far, I will review them within the next 24-48 hours, please remember to include your Paypal email in the post. . saving this space for later .

Hi, These are the problems that I found. I will send you a PM now. Thanks! Problem number 1 Url: http://www.bounceweb.com/ “All Hosting Packages Include†should be have a colon (i.e. ‘:’) This is because what you have written as a sentence alone does not make any sense. By adding the colon you ‘introduce’ the list. Makes it more professional. Problem number 2 Url: http://www.bounceweb.com/webhostingshared.php ‘Mouse over’ for disk space says: “This is the amount of you haveâ€. It should be changed to “this is the amount of space you will getâ€, or something similar. This is because there is a grammatical error, but also because it is the amount of space you will have in the future, once you have purchased the package. Problem number 3 Url: http://www.bounceweb.com/network.php “It’s†in the sentence “Our network never exceeds 60% of it's total capacity…†should be changed to its. It’s means “it isâ€. More info: http://wsu.edu/~brians/errors/its.html Problem 4 Url: http://www.bounceweb.com/index-3.php The domains page looks too much like the index page. You don’t talk about the advantages of getting your own domain and the links to sign up new domains are hard to find (and don’t work!). What I suggest you do is create a new page for domains only and explain how domain names establishes trust, are easy to remember, etc… Problem 5 Url: Sitewide (on every page) Not really a problem in itself, but you should rename the pages of your site from “index-5â€, “index-9â€, etc to something more descriptive. This will look more professional, and will help to SEO (search engine optimization as well). It is also easier for the user to go directly to a certain page if he is typing the address in the address bar of his browser. Problem 6 Url: https://secure.bounceweb.com/affiliate/ Finding this page is very hard. It should be placed in the drop down menu with a label such as “informationâ€, “advantages†or “make moneyâ€. In fact, I found the page by accident. Also, the affiliate page is not consistent with the overall theme of the site (fonts, graphics). I also suggest you remove the drop-down menu for language selection, as you only offer English. EDIT: my paypal email address is: dorg21 at gmail dot com. Thanks!

Recommendation: If you have already registered your domain elsewhere, and only need reliable and powerful web hosting, look no further, we can tailor to all your needs. Reason: Grammar is important +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ paypal email ID: herrfarrar at gmail.com
this is the problem: OR: an even better solution would be to add an "Order Now" button at the bottom of every column in the description: http://www.bounceweb.com/webhostingshared.php add a button and a drop-down list for the duration of the plan. Currently there is only one "Sign up" button. would be better if visitors can order directly from that page. my paypal: bisnisaris at gmail dot com
Special Plans sounds like it's for the Special Olypmics, change to Surprise Special to keeping with your menu. Remove the Redhat etc logos, most people will assume that comes standards and won't really care. Instead put testemonials or site or the week or some such. miraploy at gmail dot com.
None of your images have alternative texts including your logo. images get indexed too, so alt text of 'bounceweb web hosting' would be good I would replace that navigation with a css/java script combo. Quicker to load and less bandwidth usage.
URL: http://www.bounceweb.com Problem: The drop down menu's detached from the names What to do: Put the drop down menu's right under the buttons this way there will be less confusion Why you have suggested this: Because it will create an more please looking website URL: http://www.bounceweb.com Problem: Testimonials on one page only What to do: Have testimonials randomly around the whole site Why you have suggested this: Because then people will be more impressed with your hosting and actually read the testimonials. Gives the customer a better feel of who they are going to be doing business with. URL: http://www.bounceweb.com Problem: The home/contact us/ faq/ siemap icons barely recognizeable What to do: Put them somewhere else or make the icons brighter to stand out more, and add text to tehm so people know what they are. Why you have suggested this: Because it will let people more easily view your site and that will cause less frustration and more sale. I will pm you with my paypal address.
A few... (Paypal: ) --- URL: http://www.bounceweb.com/ You should use "Unlimited Addon Domains", instead of "Unlimited Domains" incase someone thinks that you'll give them domains. URL: http://www.bounceweb.com/ Use website instead of web site. Because website is the actual word, not web site. URL: http://www.bounceweb.com/ Use "If you have already registered your domain elsewhere, and only need reliable and powerful web hosting, look no further, we can tailor to all your needs." instead of "If you have already register your domain elsewhere, and only need reliable and powerful web hosting, look no further, we can tailor to all your needs." So that it's proper grammer. URL: https://secure.bounceweb.com/support/index.php?_m=knowledgebase&_a=view Use e-mail instead of eMail, because e-mail is proper.
url: http://www.bounceweb.com/ problem: no meta tags!!!!! fix: here yes, they are still important, even in this day and age!!! (paypal upon request) good luck with the site, looks beautiful.
Thank you, great suggestion! You have been paid. You would have been paid more, but I don't think I'm going to use the second suggestion without reasoning/proof. Reason why, I learned that it's not he who shouts the loudest is heard, I'm sure if somebody wants to purchase the web hosting, they will be able to find and sign up quite easily. I won't implement the second point unless you know that conversions will go up because of that. Thanks so much! Keep em coming!
lol, thanks for the suggestions, I'm actually going to change that to "Entry" or "Beginner", sorry about that. Do you have any proof regarding people not caring about the standards? Many sites list that. Thanks for your valuable suggestions!
