No more the mechanic's car or the builder's kitchen!

IE sucks, Google Chrome FTW!

Right up until you have to run a web app that runs on IE8 and nothing else. Then again, I am posting this using chrome on Ubuntu.

Much like a mechanic's car, or a builder's kitchen, then?

Ha ha, you should have seen the original.

Sorry, I could have been more polite. I own my own IT business and we are in the middle of doing our website. I my web guy would have a dri rider boot up his bum if it went live with links that didn't work. First impressions are everything on on the net you don't get a second chance.

I like the concept of the site. I would check the top right link as well. It changes sizes between pages.

I've had a look but not sure what you mean about the links. I can't see any that don't work or change size. Maybe I'm missing something?

Just spent 5 minutes clicking madly. when you click between the Home - Free website analysis - Contact the email link to the right does something strange as it renders as does the take it to the top on the left. Did it at work under windows and IE 8 as well as Ubuntu - chrome at home.

The link not going anywhere is the ask us one.

Hmm - I don't like it. Too busy. Looks like one of those sites set up by a conspiriacy theorist just vomiting information onto the screen.

JMHO

Capital "W" after a comma in the blurb. Sticks out, inconsistent.

"We build, We host and we market your website to the top."

And when you click a link and all you get is a pop-up saying "Coming soon" (slack), it's in a window titled "Infomation page" (double slack).

Spelling mistake - "Our Adgenda? Maximising your leads so you can maximise sales and profit!"
That's all I found in a quick browse, there could be more.
Sorry but I am almost as pedantic as Hitcher when it comes to spelling.

I agree with you the opening pages do scroll too fast. Maybe if there was a "pause" button for the benefit of we oldies.

You don't need to be sorry - having a page free of simple errors like spelling mistakes and grammatical errors is a basic necessity, before eye-catching graphics and snazzy special effects.
The first one I noticed was from a mouse-over before I even started looking at the page: the "Infomation page" label on the "Ask Now" button.

Sorry if this appears picky and mean-spirited, but it's little things like this that produce a less than professional first impression.

I think the key is "target market"...

Despite what I said before about the boobies, I could in fact be the target market, since I'm often on the lookout for hosting. In my experience NZ web hosts are just far too expensive, and I've gone for US based hosting companies.

I saw the section that showed that they offer hosting, and unlimited bandwidth and storage etc, but no price and no other detail. Unless they rank highly in a web search or are now recommended by someone else I know that uses them, I won't be back. I can't even remember the name, even though it was only, i think, three letters long. Maybe he could buy a vowel?

All points taken on board and I'll pass them on. Trouble with people who have English as second or third language. Rudy speaks four or five languages and English is his third language behind German and Hebrew. I was his main proof-reader until my accident but I've not been able to be so involved since. He's always telling me I should use my knowledge of English because of the demand for people in the industry who can write content and proof-read.

Rudy has several hosting sites around the world including Europe and the USA, he hasn't used NZ for years. He has his own servers and pretty much knows them all as he's always keeping up to date with things. I think from what he was saying the other week that he's built his own somehwere? You guys who know about such things may know what I'm talking about, I don't.

I should get more involved again, he's asked me to do a lot of content writing for a couple of sites. I've been doing the suburbs on Euro Plumbing Ltd. for him. When you log on to europlumbing.co.nz and scroll to the bottom and click on a suburb I will have done the content for it. Still got a few to go yet.
