    Hello!
    I've been coding my site pretty long, now it's been running for some time, but I am still adding new tools. Now, it's time to hear your opinion :)
    Visit: TextOpus

    I'd like to hear from you if you like this site, do you notice any errors/problems or perhaps you have suggestions/ideas for new tools.

    Ps. Please, do not review website design and favicon :)
    Thanks!

    Only found one thing:

    help

    I got the following unexpected response when trying to retrieve <http://textop.us/>:

    500 Can't connect to textop.us:80 (Bad hostname 'textop.us')


    ok, if you say so... ;)

    I think that you need someone to go through the text on the site, as I can see a few grammatical errors on the homepage......

    Apart from the fact that the English is not good, I have highlighted 3 points above:

    1) This does not read correctly - should this be something like "here all THE text tools"
    2) IS SENT should maybe read "Input data and passwords sent over", as the sentence doesn't make any sense.
    3) Should this read "All I ask..."

    I would sit down with someone and go thnrough the complete homepage text, as this would be a real put-off for me I'm afraid. Good looking site apart from all that.

    This is more like a fun site .

    You may integrate such tools on facebook where a lot of people would be interested .

    I can comment in terms of design.

    I think your site can be improved. Overall layout seems fine, but you need to work on colors and alignment issues. You need to make a bit more fresh. Also your categories look a bit overwhelmed.

    This is just my quick comment on design.

    Also are you considering getting a logo designed?

    Thanks for the comments.
    I am not going to get a logo designed as I don't know any designer who would like to do this for free and I am not going to pay for logo as I don't think it is so necessery.

    Could you please tell me more about the colors? I don't know what should I change them to(I am colorblind).
    I know about the alignment issues, but I don't know XHTML too well, so I will be searching for someone who can help me with these problems.

    Perhaps you have any ideas what tools should I add?

    Make it a little colorful. I believe, people get bored while dealing with TEXT stuff, so adding some cartoon to your logo will be a good idea and make use of some sweet colors like light pink ... Check this logo, I designed it for you.

    [​IMG]

    Feel free to use it if you really like it ... I have used the color #FFC8FF for Background of the logo.

    Hope that helps ..

    Andy.

    Hey! Thanks for the logo, but you see... it's too "cartoony" for MD5 and Blowfish lovers :D
