I didn't see the original but I think it looks great now. I'm looking for new hosting and I will use the search function which has already got results. I think the layout and intro are good. It would be good to specify what currency each plan is in as it can make a big difference with exchange rates.

I am viewing looking at the page on IE 6.0.

FIRST PAGE:
I think it looks really nice. The first page may be a bit long. Is there any way you could put some of the stuff near the bottom on other pages?

In you code you have several empty font elements.

You will just have to pilfer through to find these.

Also saw one of the cheap.gif images that had an extra quote mark.

I am not sure about this but shouldn't that script that you have between the and come before the closing body tag?

In the first paragraph, independant should be independent

SECOND PAGE:
You have two body tags on this page. There are several empty div and font elements but I think this may be because you haven't entered all of your content for this page. You may want to double check to make sure you don't have any extra junk code hanging around.

PAGE THREE:
Mispelling; will take no more than a few minuites of your time

I didnt check the rest of you site for errors. The above will give you an idea of what to look for maybe. I found all these errors at NetMechanic while using their free html check. It comes in handy when you need to find extra clutter code and spelling mistakes. You might want to give them a try.

the light yellow bgcolor was lost in making these files GIFs

looking good, my only pick would be the length, or rather the sections. the first page could probably be cut off after the bookmark link, as the lower parts just seem to be put there interupting the flow.
The east search option will probably get everyones attention so people wouldnt venture any lower

Hi again!

We made a whole bunch of additions and changes to FindMyHosting.com - especially in the look & feel. (Taking a lot of the suggestions from feedback in this thread).

We're going to start pushing the marketing in April - Press release etc. I'm glad we waited to get a lot of feedback before doing that - I think the site is better for it.

If you get chance to take a re-look & tell us if you agree (or not) that the site looks better - it's much appreciated

Thanks!
Andrew

the way around empty cells in NS4.7 is to add   in the td cell   this will show the background color.

are you using a spacer image before the price, platform ... ? if so add border="0" to the image tags and alt="" if your not using them

I am getting a really big horz scroll bar in Opera6 (as Opera6), I looked at your soucre code and your using td cells to freely (or rather your editor is), try put the top banner and links in one table, the top contents and search section on another and bottom section in the last (even thou the about section should have its own page) this will help speed up your page and make editing errors etc easier.
I couldnt find the error in Opera (just had quick look) but yse a validator like netmechanic.com or w3c.org or any of the downloadable ones (these are guides only, not to be considered the bible of html), I'd say you have a table error, maybe one to many td or tr tags adding a added section in Opera.

and in your hidden image link at the bottom of the page, add a alt="" to it so it doesnt appear

Thanks

quite a few changes have been made - just had to drop the background - netscape 4.7 shows the page background if a cell is empty - so there was no easy work around.

But, a lot of adjustment to the colors on the home page & search page.

The comments on this board have been really honest & very valuable feedback. Now - i must go and post reviews of other sites to return the favor.

let me know what you think of the tweaks!

Regards

Don't forget to post back (in this thread) when you have changed anything and we'll take another peek at it for you

NovaW — Tue, 05 Mar 2002 01:16:51 +0000

Thanks for all the feedback.

I will take a hard look at some of the colors & that netscape 4.7 background problem has to be fixed.

To address the issue of being unbiased. We truly are 100% unbiased, but we have to have a revenue model - that model is a commission on sales. Taking a commission doesn't make us biased - we have the exact same structure for every host.

The advertising based hosting directories are truly biased- they have paid "recommendations" paid top 25 list etc - that is vey biased indeed. If it was being done outside the web,it would probably be illegal.

FindMyHosting doesn't allow any host to pay to be shown above another host - the results are related to what is searched for. So I don't think there is anything miss-leading about our truthful statement about being unbiased.

Right now we do have a limited amount of hosts in the system because we have just launched, but we will add more as we grow.

Thanks again for all the time taken to post feedback -I truly appreciate it.

Kind Regards

I think most of it said above, so I'll just mention a content issue.

You state you site gives a unbiased result, however all results it does give are your paying referers (they pay you for sign ups) as you mention in your FAQ section, I did a search for some common hosts and no results came up.

you stating unbaised is very misleading, I was very impressed with what you offered until I found this out.

The right hand column is on the hard edge in IE and Opera as well
