How a "script kid" improved my site ;)

nRnF · 07-21-2005, 03:23 PM

Here is the story.

Time ago I set up a tiny website, that I basically used to acess many
remotely hosted scripts, that I used frequently, but didnt want to jump
arround my bookmarks. The site started out to get quite some traffic,
as it seems that more ppl have the same need.

So far so good, untill 1 week ago one of those "script kids" hacked the
whole server, and bombed all websites he could find.
(including 3 of mine)

As I had no backups of this particular site the options were:
start again, or bookmark jumping

OK, I started again, but this time I looked arround for a suitable CMS and found MAMBO.
Wohhhhhaaaa..... what a great CMS I can just say well done folks of mamboserver !
(free, easy, stable and hundreds of templates or modules available).

So I came up in a 2h session with my new site:
WebmasterPanel.com v1.1 --> PLEASE REVIEW

PS:
Special thanks to the "script kid" as without, I wouldn't have eaven thought about redesign

Sorry to hear about the previous hacking problems. My site was hacked a while ago. I think the site needs a new banner. Nice site though.

Mambo is a great CMS. I've used it before and I love it, it's really not known to many people on this forum but it has so many modules. It's also easy to install with all the features integrated into it. Hopefully it's secure, I never had a problem with it.

Yea, I'm learning to code mambo templates right now.

Thanks, as i said, I set the site up within 2h so there was only 5 min for the banner

I am interested in general coments regarding:
Content
Usefullness
General design
Navigation

Thanks

The site is quite clean and easy to navigate around good work, maybe you could make a quick banner with the banner maker you have on your site that xara thing!

vip-ip · 07-22-2005, 10:24 AM

Looks OK but something's missing.... I think it's a logo

Good work so far.

StudioWorks · 07-22-2005, 02:47 PM

Hey,

Looks good, clean. I would add something more to the header - looks a little poor. Also, I would change that blue default link text color. Overall.. preety decent.

All the best,

Nice layout, simple and clean, my type of site... Just type the sitename properly in header.

Mambo is great.

Your site has a very clean type of look to it. But the weird numbers and stuff (your logo?) seems out of place.
