U2L.be - Short Url Redirection And Proxy Services

OttoYiu · 11-18-2005, 05:45 PM

Please review this site.

www.U2L.be

Any feedback would be helpful. Don't be afraid to point out bad parts of the design.

Please tell me whether the ads blend in or not also.

Thanks!

I think the ads blend in pretty well, and the design is superb. I think you should cut down on the caps in your title (<TITLE>U2L.BE - SHORT URL REDIRECTION AND PROXY SERVICES</TITLE> to <TITLE>U2L.BE - Short URL Redirection And Proxy Services</TITLE>), but overall, nice clean design and code!

banner : cannot read U2L from it. Honestly, I would choose another font.

the box for the url is not alligned on the same line with the first and the 2nd pic (it's down) -- I use Firefox

As for the design superb .. where is this design ? I can consider only the banner as a design.

Maybe the layout is good. But I wouldn't call it superb.

Good luck with it

thanks for ripping my code and design (code is almost the same).

My site: http://www.hidemyass.com

Stolen Rip: http://www.u2l.be/proxy.php

Congrats!

the code is almost the same because thats the only way to do that with javascript... You both use phproxy and thats a common design google.com has the same simple layout.

bizing · 11-19-2005, 06:42 AM

They are not the same as in design. Or at least I can't consider u2l.be a design ripper.

Not the same at all.

Good point on the google thing, wonder if they all copied google

i think it is a rip. even though both use phproxy, they both unusually have the javascript display the options instead of just letting phproxy display them.
also, look at the sequence of ads, inputs, etc... same

you guys should work it out

OttoYiu · 11-19-2005, 08:17 AM

I didn't rip it. It is all the same because you just have to put a line of php script <?php echo $PHProxy->options_list(true, true) ?> into where the expand javascript is or where you want the advance options to be. I did not rip of anyone. I came up with my own idea. Anyone have more suggestions? I will look into the logo font.

It appears that you guys have gone a bit off topic here.

The design is nice although you can't really read the logo. The way you have an actual google maps URL, although it is long, it clutters up your home page. Why not have a simple one like...

Quote:

http://reallylongaddress.com/~yourpage/index.html

People will get the gist from that. You dont need a big long URL like the one you have on the front page!

Is it me or does the site load really really slowly? I tested it out and it is really really slow!

An 'about' page would be good, or something that when you rollover, there is a description of the Proxy and URL Shortening services. For people that are new to websites, which will probably be the people that use your services, they may be baffled by what it is all about.

Good luck

nice design its nice and simplae just change the site title to U2L.BE - Short URL Redirection And Proxy Services

OttoYiu · 11-19-2005, 12:25 PM

I changed the title to this. U2L.BE - Short URL Redirection And Proxy Services.

I wonder if there is anyone that can think of a paragraph on how to use the proxy. The current hosting provider is Gazzin and it is really slow even though the CPU usage is as low as .10.

And Jiblob, are you talking about a FAQ page?

LeetPCUser · 11-22-2005, 07:54 AM

Here is what I thought.

Cool logo, but hard to read.
Change the make short button to make it easier to read.
Change the buttons at the bottom to an orangy color to match the site.
Great design
