I have just finished the alpha release of my hosting website and I would like as much feedback on it as possible before I move it to the proper server.

This is one of the ways I make my money: JMF eMedia Hosting Services

if you want to compaire it to the old version then look here: JMF eMedia Hosting Services

Thanks in advance.

The alpha site is showing as a 404 - can you check the URL?

ijl · 5th November 2007, 10:40 PM

Oh I see, the alpha site is live now, for everyone else - the link is - JMF eMedia Hosting Services

I have installed a redirect from the

Code:

http://alpha.jmfemedia.net

address to the

http://www.jmfemedia.net

one.

Looks pretty good to me. Fairly business like which is good.
My main criticism is that it is a little small. Why only 715 pixels wide? Less than 10% of people are still using that screen resolution and probably more like less than 5% for real world potential clients.

I made it 730 wide so that EVERYONE would be able to see it without any problems.

it can be made larger without any great problem.

jmfemedia · 6th November 2007, 03:12 AM

ok, I have altered the site some more and made it wider and added some more shaded areas.

ijl · 6th November 2007, 07:57 AM

I like it - professional and easy to navigate - and better now it's wider.

My only comments would be that the text is a bit hard to read in some place, particularly on the sub-menus where the text is grey on grey bg and a small font - maybe you should increase the contrast here?

The only other thing is that it is currently showing with not valid XHTML with 14 error on the home page - I presume you will fix these?

jmfemedia · 6th November 2007, 12:21 PM

I have started going through all the pages and making sure that all the pages are XHTML compliant.

made the text a little darker so that its easier for people to read.

I like it and a good integration with WHMCS too.

And very nicely! There are a couple of tiny alignment issues in Safari 3.0.3 but nothing major. Give me a shout if you want a screen shot!

jmfemedia · 6th November 2007, 03:26 PM

if you could that would be handy but if its the one above the login box then I am aware of it and there aint anything I can do about it (safari is a pain in the ass)

Adam · 6th November 2007, 05:28 PM

Nope not that..

I find Safari the best browser.. even when I code something incorrectly it still works

. IE7 is my bug bear!

Top of page (dunno if it is meant to be like this)
Right hand corner of forum category (again it might be that it should be like this but I thought the square line looked a bit odd)

the first one is a problem with the forum skin and the second picture you are showing there is the network bar and doesn't have any border round it.

jmfemedia · 6th November 2007, 06:19 PM

ok, I just looked and it was the image colour that was wrong so I have replaced that one with a png version so the colour stays true
