ok
i like the first website
especially the left green mine i think is very good. and how it wraps around the central column and the right menu

the choice of colours is very good. green then blue then purple

now the problems
i have a bigger screen than you and there is a problem : the banner is vertically centered, but your website is not ( it is aligned left). it gives a weird effect.
left menu is perfect
main content (in blue) : the titles are overdone, like 'how to build you own' and 'tips and tricks' , i would get rid of the bluish background,
why do you write the page url just before the page subtitle?
the titles should be changed for each page.
there are some problems with the colours, there is is the same problem with the right column. there is a darker graphic at the bottom and up. i think they should be on the same colour.

well anyway good work

Hey, its a really nice site, i think you should center it so it goes with the ads.

hi everyone!

i have just updated my website(again)..

*Updates

- Link Hovers - I replaced the link hovers with green instead of white to make it more readable.

- Lay-out's Edges - I added some gradient effects on the lay-out's edges to make it smoother and not to look like it's just a box.

- i added some new contents

- my community has grown bigger now.

thank you for your reply..

First of all i am looking for suggestions on what should i add to my website accroding to these following categories:

Quote:
*Attractiveness
*Accessibilty
*Interactivity
*Informative
*Usefullness
*(Anything else in your mind)

nonetheless...your reply is very helpfull and informative i will make sure to fixed those problems which i understood..because i don't know some of my wrong doings and what should i do..

about this:

Quote: On the index you have "Welcome to Free Hosted Websites Community!" but beside that you have "Enter Password Protected Area" which is like offering free stuff to people that pay for it. Why have the Password Protected Area? What's the reasoning, are you hiding something? Going to charge me once I've signed up? these are just a couple of things people could be thinking.

the password protected area log-in form is just a password gate for the "add your websites" page...as you see..there is the "members websites" page...if a user signs up to our community they will receive a username and password which they will use to log-in to the password protected area,after logging in they will be redirected to the "add your websites" page in which they will sign a form about their website's informations such as title,url,description,logo code etc..and this informations will be put at the "members websites" page view it here: http://fhwc.50webs.com/websites.htm

A good move changing hosts

To address your topics:

Attractiveness
When I first saw the site I thought - too blue, but now it's growing on me. The blues and white are being used pretty well althought you could loose a bit of blue background

Accessibilty
Your site is not very accessibilty friendly, but I am not sure if you mean to 508 standards etc. The animations for accessibilty is a no-no.
Your site does not display very well with CSS disabled (is really bad)
Here is a webspeed report with your file sizes and loading times etc

Here is a 508 Validation (Accessibilty)

Interactivity
The site is interactive but I feel the blue links and blue text fails this

Informative
Not really, while the index tells what the site is about there is no real information (thats easy to find) on things such as free web hosts

Usefullness
See above

(Anything else in your mind)
On the index you have "Welcome to Free Hosted Websites Community!" but beside that you have "Enter Password Protected Area" which is like offering free stuff to people that pay for it. Why have the Password Protected Area? What's the reasoning, are you hiding something? Going to charge me once I've signed up? these are just a couple of things people could be thinking.

thanks! any suggestion to much improve my site?

demonhale — Tue, 11 Jul 2006 05:41:35 +0000

good job on the site marvz, your favicon ties up well with the site logo... You need to simplify the banner with the clock... All in all good job on the site... I guess you can now play around with it for a bit and change some things here and there, I suggest you put up a general directory page for all the free domain sites... and include some pages for viable free web hosting sites... to help any future members...
