Domain Tool Site Review?

Tropica · 09-20-2008, 12:17 PM

Hi

Not so long ago I made: http://dnfame.com/

It gives many pieces of information for the domain entered, eg: alexa, PR, stumbles, and search engine and bookmarking results.

I was after your thoughts on improvement (I know its a little slow sometimes, but thats the amount of info it grabs, Im considering swapping to ajax!)

Thanks in advance

Looking nice man

Only one problem. When I did the archive.org one, i got this:

Warning: file_get_contents(http://web.archive.org/web/*/debaclex.com) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in /home/tropica/public_html/dnfame/index.php on line 264
Archive.org Results: 0

thanks for the compliment mike, much appreciated

It returns a error like that when a site is down, in that occasion archive.org must have been down or not responded, my main problem in fixing it is I cant really test it as it rarely happens lol

Nice site.
Clean and straight to the point.

Hey Tropica,

The site looks great. It's simple and easy to use.

My suggestions would be to add some third-dimension to it in the logo and border though, as it looks rather flat. Move the left block where you enter the domain farther down to fill up the white space.

Although it's obviously not AJAX, the simplicity and speed of the site make it feel like the data is being processed smoothly and almost seems to be live. The results page looks fine, but I think you should rearrange the right column to fill up the white space.

Regards,
Frikkle :thumbsup:

Thanks for the input Frikkle, my initial idea was to keep it simple layout and graphics wise, for the purpose of speed, and indeed not to take the emphasis off the purpose of the site.

Im looking into a few things for the right column, but im holding back until is AJAX-ified!

Cheers

You really should use conditional statements in your code to check for errors and display something more suitable. Displaying errors like this is a security risk. I would patch that up if I was you.
