It is good except for in firefox your disclaimer/footer at the bottom doesn't connect to the other part of your site. You should use css and create it all in one content pane...

unknowngiver · 07-27-2005, 08:56 AM

everything looks fine and professional to me :d

dc1pop · 07-27-2005, 05:06 PM

Thanks guys. I assume your on about the part in which ads are displayed

So it looks fine on my computer

As in in UK maybe adsense ads for UK are different?

Looks nice to me! I like how you are hosting forums!

music_man · 07-27-2005, 05:35 PM

Hi

Your contact box has no information in it and the ipb hosted services has text but no links with them and the text-size for the box is pretty small.

The overall text size is quite small and that makes it a little hard to read. The title of the page does not change with what page you are on. The site seems to be in construction because the page: "free stuff" has a welcome image and no services listed.

The "home" link on the navigation is always bold. You could make it so whatever page they are on, the corresponding navigation link is bold and the link removed.

I am viewing this site using IE and the footer is in a white box at the bottom, separated from the rest of the content. It is best to code for IE (as it is 90% of the market). I suggest connecting it to the rest of your content.

Why are you not defining tag attributes in your style sheet?

Code:

<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" background="images/background.gif">

could be

Code:

BODY {background-image: url('images/background.gif');}

etc. Try to put as much styling into your CSS sheet as you can. That includes code such as

Code:

<td align="left" valign="top" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" style="border:1px solid #999EA2">

where you don't need a style attribute but a class attribute which gets it's instructions from the style sheet.

You have no META description (or keywords) which can help you with search engines. I recommend you have a description for each page. You also don't have a doctype: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...bhosted.com%2F

Maybe the "terms & conditions" link on the homepage could link to the terms and conditions.

The adsense colour scheme could be blue or orange and not red.

If you have access to php on your server I suggest using includes and make a template so it is easier to edit parts of your site.

bhyraj · 07-27-2005, 10:01 PM

nice looking. good layout.

samkool · 07-27-2005, 11:31 PM

The site is good, the layout is excellent

... but the prob is that the footer is far away from the Ad area

StudioWorks · 07-30-2005, 10:15 AM

Hey,

I like the clean look in your header but I do feel you have too much free space in your header.

ammo · 07-30-2005, 12:46 PM

I like your design its very nice!

dc1pop · 07-30-2005, 05:22 PM

Thanks guys. I know about meta tags and finsihing off my CSS but i wanted to get the main site up ASAP. I dont see what people problem are with the bottom of the forum as mine connects smoothly maybe its down to google ads. It may be best to remove this i think and use a 468x60 banner next to the logo opinions???

mappaiyo · 07-30-2005, 10:19 PM

You missed one feature, domain manager

.
But it's fast and the design looks no problem for me.
Will refer my friends to go there later
