Pls. Review My Website: www.marvz14.bravehost.com

if you don't want to review my first website it is ok,,but pls. review this one http://www.fhwc.bravehost.com it's my new website! thnx everyone

I took a look at the first one you posted. I like the layout. The only thing that I would suggest is centering the entire content. That left alignment throws me off for some reason. I also didn't like the popups I received when I went to your forums. Those are always a big turnoff for me, though. Otherwise, I think it looks great!

I like the first website.It is very catchy because it has many colors.
I hate mono color

If you want people to take your sites seriously you need to get rid of the bravehost hosting, the ads and pop ups make it look and feel cheap and nasty.
With all that advertising for bravehost on there one would hope they were paying you for it. If this was hosted on a real domain with all that advertising you'd be making more than enough to pay for it all.
Real web hosting isn't very expensive and you'd be able to use a real domain name too.

I'm going to take a guess here and say these are templates being offered by your host? Looking at your code you have a double up of head tags, the doc, html and head tags are doubled.

I'm actually a bit peeved that firefox isn't blocking these pop ups ads.
I get a pop up on every damn page I visit, sorry but it's just to annoying

yeah, my second website is a community of free hosted website owners! and my website is also free...i can't do anything about the ads...because i'm sticked to that..eventough i want to change host it will be much difficult because there are so many people attached to my site because its a community...therefore if i change my host, it might result to loss of members and confusion! i don't want that to happen..

i have also opened a forum...if you want you can visit it and tell me what you think..http://www.phpbb88.com/fhwc

arrrgghh popups soon as I get one popup I'm out of there never to return. I purposly never read a popup I close it from the task bar and I don't think I'm the only person that does that.
your site seemed slow to load (probably loading popup in the backgrouns) and I didn't stay around to read much
BUT on the plus side I think people like to see the face of the person they're dealing with so I like the openness attitude.

if you worry that youll lose members because of your transfer to a padi domain and hosting, then transition them over the new one... I hate to say this but I think tripod has far more less unobtrusive ads than bravenet...

Also there are sites that offer free php hosting with lesser ads, why not try those. Site wise, you can code, you can make a site, but isnt it time to get your domain and show them what youve got?.

Good luck with those sites Marvz, good job so far.

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...

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)

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.

I have just updated my website with a new banner! pls. check it out! and tell me your comments...by the way the banner is built by one of our FHWC members

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
