Hosting Launched - Needs Feedback on Site Design

Hello Freinds,

Care to spare 2 to 3 mins to browse the site www.a1whs.com and provide feedback for improvements .


And Note to LiquidGoat Post with proper Reasons and Solutions Only .
 
Haha, you want a real review? Here it is:

The flash is unneeded, it takes a couple min. to load on dial up. Websites need to load in 15 seconds or less, on average, otherwise people will simply leave. You have to remember, people wont just wait around for your site to load. They'll just think "Screw this guy, there are thousands of other hosts out there with better sites". Most people are on dial up. You don't even have it set to where it loads automatically when you go to a different page. Every link I clicked and went to, the flash banner had to load again! Over and over.

I know you probably spent $80 on a template or you made it yourself. Either way, the long load doesn't help your visitors one bit. Admit it, you put it on there for you. You must have, otherwise you'd have a fast loading site, in which visitors could browse your information and make a decision on whether to buy from you.

The background colors seem like an Easter basket and not very professional. The images on the background don't even go with it.

In your description, you mention the word "We" 11 times. Shouldn't start off almost every sentence with "we".

Your domain isn't memorable at all. Hell, I forgot it after I finished typing this. What was it again? a1shts.com? 1ahys.com? Ah screw it, I'll go to the other guy.

Sub-par generic host design.

I have to agree with LiquidGoat.. The one thing I don't agree with is that there is no way your template cost you $80. I have seen much better looking ones than that. Also get rid of the flash banner unless you can make it load fast for every user. As LiquidGoat said, I got tired of waiting and left.

Regards,
 
Agreed with the other users. I came, I saw some dodgey looking computer renders that didnt fit in with the background and left before the flash loaded.

The website design has to make you want to stay. You want minimal loading time and maximum effect. A catchy looking logo will really help the website be remembered.
 
could be more centered, background must fit in better.

Also, LiquidGoat got it in one.

@a1sws.com: not so cocky no, are we? :p
 
Yeah, flash isnt always loved. I have experience if you go to http://homingnetwork.com you can see we currently have flash, but a few people have complained about this and we are now working on a new webdesign without flash.

Someone hijacked my thread lol. Plus it doesnt even open.

Lol Liquid ur anti flash element arent u? But i just wonder why would someone on dial up look for paid hosting just makes my head turn . Even if they got paid hosting they will complain all the time that we cannot upload over 3kbs ur server is slow :lol: .

I am on 5mb line and have no problem loading any site unless i am uploading/downloading some porn or other stuff.

But i will on other pages make it graphics header using same images, would that satisfy u goat?

And term "WE" is used cause no hosting is run by Single Identity. So using I instead of "WE" sounds un professional doesnt it?

Well erm, why cant people on Dial-up purchase paid hosting. Obviously if theyt are on dial-up they will know there download/upload speeds are slow, so they probably wont complain.

Heck, I will be removing the flash on my website in a few weeks, Im currently developing my own webdesign.

I am on a 10mb line and I have seen on some websites still, that having flash causes everything else to load slower.

Anyway, no flash is better, I have learnt.
 
Yes no flash makes site load faster but no flash is better is not always true. I am working on my other site also which has flash header also ( oops sorry goat dont get pissed) .

Tell me if that loads slow on ur dial up too . I guess it will

www.clanzhost.com is the site i will work on .
 
Aah, you're working on the 'spyderzwebz.com' template... that's where I first saw it anyway. You don't actually need to use dial-up to see if your site takes ages to load with it. I use NetLimiter to slow my connection down to 3kbps. Works like a time machine, I can almost hear the modem screaming :D

So ur talking about the other site design. And cool there is another site that uses same flash , why cause its for sale and anyone can buy it . Plus let they have not edited properly their intro cause if u look at the end of the intro carefull on spyder u can see Host-Tech written prior to their site logo comes on the pc. So i doubt they have the original deal else they would have been able to edit the psd for it . But hey u never know. they could have just forgot.

Anyways all i see is bullshit talks from most , providing little solution to the problems. But i guess people just like talking like that instead of helping out and suggest some good things. Saying get rid of flash is not a solution. And saying background sucks and bla bla and images suck bla bla . Instead if u can provide what sort of images and background should be there would really help.
 
Saying get rid of flash is not a solution.

Don't be mad at us that template you bought was crap.

Seems like this host will be great, seeing as the host insults people and can't spell.
