New Free Host - Please Review

[Amaresh]

Hey everyone,

Just launched www.977mb.com today, I was hoping for some inputs regarding the layout, and also the integration with the forum (http://www.977mb.com/forums/).

I need to change a few generic pages, but apart from that everything should be working properly.

So if you have any comments, good or bad, it'll be much appreciated!

[Amaresh]

No one wants to review this ? :(

I like the layout and colors, but the homepage is not organized very well. I think you would do well to create some sort of flow on the homepage - right now, it's a bit of a hodge-podge.

But that's a simple fix, really. Other than that, it looks good. :)

Basic but rather beautiful. I like that.

[JohnN]

good job, change the logo though.

I agree.

On this page http://www.977mb.com/upgrade.jsp instead of 977mb.com it says iTrello. Are yall the same company?

Otherwise, it's a nice clean design.

[Amaresh]

Nope, iTrello was my earlier venture. I havent replaced all pages yet, will be doing that shortly.

[.Andy]

[Amaresh]

Pretty good, I actually quite like it. The integration with the forum somehow looks good, but maybe you could change the colours or something to make them blend in more.

[Amaresh]

Thanks Kwek. What colours do you think could be changed to improve the forum integration ?

[Kwek]

You could do something like this: http://www.zycotech.com/My_Screenshot_49.png

I'm not sure if that looks nicer to you, but it does look more blended in with the rest of the site. To me, at least. I feel that the colours are nicer too.

The designs nice, and I like it! Nice and simple, just what people need, nothing OTT.

I generally care nothing about aesthetics, because I'm shopping for service. Therefore, to me, the design details that matter tend to do with terms.

Part of Design includes the TOS, of which I have comments on the below items.

1. Please make it clearer what you require in return for your hosting. Are we to assume that because page ads and forum posts are not prominently listed, they are not required, because you prefer emailed ads?

2. "terminate without cause, without notice". I always dislike that phrase. If some situation is so bad it forces you to pause service... I would LIKE a notice explaining why. It can't be that difficult to email a stock form ... since you already email three ads per week!

3. "Agreement subject to change at will without notice". Same result. If it's important to you to change your agreement around, find a user resource that allows the user to know to go look at the changed agreement.

"Visitors". I visit my own site daily. Therefore I am a visitor, and my 59-day clock should run forever on Day One. I would be very upset if you meant "unique visitors" without saying so.
