Please give me your honest opinions about my web hosting site, e.g. the style, ease of use & content etc. Thanks in advance for your valued input. http://www.hostcaddy.com Code (markup):
On first sight it looks quite nice. Here are some suggestions: 1. Change the special offer font color and remove the dropshadow. It's almost unreadable. 2. Is a login form needed on every page of your site? You are using up prime real estate for users that are already converted. It would be best just to have a nav link to a login page and instead use that space to promote your hosting. 3. Contact form does not work, results in 404 page. Also it should state a telephone nr or physical address. 4. No about page. People don't just host with anyone. They need to know if you are trustworthy. 5. Package features are the same for every package. It seems quite strange then that you repeat this information 3 times. 6. After clicking the order now button I'm shown a completely different site design. Not good.
Updates 1. Change the special offer font color and remove the dropshadow. It's almost unreadable. Point taken and changed. Any better ? 2. Is a login form needed on every page of your site? You are using up prime real estate for users that are already converted. It would be best just to have a nav link to a login page and instead use that space to promote your hosting. Again point taken and removed from most pages except contact i think so that current members can login from there instead of using the contact form. 3. Contact form does not work, results in 404 page. Also it should state a telephone nr or physical address. Yes the file for this was missing and i have updated and replaced this (Thanks) 4. No about page. People don't just host with anyone. They need to know if you are trustworthy. I understand your point about this and havent had chance to get around to this and am quite a bit stuck as to what to put on it as being a new company ? 5. Package features are the same for every package. It seems quite strange then that you repeat this information 3 times. Yes i had changed these, but for some reason the copy of the pages i had uploaded were still the old ones, so i must not have saved them properly, have updated them now. (p.s. I split the packages across two pages to stop it from being one long page) 6. After clicking the order now button I'm shown a completely different site design. Not good. Yes i understand this point also, i will get around to updating this, but the templating system of WHMCS is the easist to use so will take quite a bit of playing around to get it right, so have reverted it back to the original WHMCS portal template.
1. Make the special offer in the header link to something. 2. Make the packages on the homepage link to something.
1. Make the special offer in the header link to something. Done - Linked it to the news page which gives the current offers 2. Make the packages on the homepage link to something. Done - not sure what to link these to as if i link them to WHMCS they dont show the info about the packages just starts the signup and buy process, so have linked them to the packages page
