Review Request: hosting.firstinter.net
I am in the process of finishing up a perl/php/mysql based automated hosting solution for my employer and I really feel as though the site is nearly completeted. The one damned thing I can always count is missing the obvious.
Please, understand that there are search engine optimizations coming when/if the site gets the nod. Search engine optimazations space has been built in but not filled with text at this point.
I would most appreciate your feedback.

Hi! :wave:
Looks really nice. At first, I thought I was going to go blind with that blue background. But the page loaded fairly quickly. It is just late and me wittle eyes hurt.
I like the sight and think you have done a great job here. However, allow me to think outloud a bit.
The mans head is cut off. Ya gotta fix dudes head for sure.
I see blue, blue, blue everywhere. Have you thought of making the blue part of the logo in the top right corner either that green that you are using or maybe another accent color? Or the gray part green, yellow or orange? Just a hint of a bright color somewhere would look nice IMO.
How about some rollovers for your links? Green? Dark Yellow???? hmmmm...not sure
Your main links (text links) placed at the bottom of each page as well would be helpful to your clients/users.
On the Package pages, you have "Starter pkg., etc." I think I would type the word package all the way out instead of abbreviating it. Looks more professional. But you also have pkg. in your graphic so that may be alright....not sure bout that one.
On some of the pages, the light gray background on the right side of the page is tiling downwards. Can ya fix that?
I know all of those things are just little nit picky things but hey, when you are good, nit picky is all that can be found.
Cheers!

Welcome to TWF Maximux,
Firstly can you please review some of the other sites here in this forum.
I quite like the site but agree with Sonia that it could use some accents in another colour. So many sites use these colours and I always think that to stand out you need to add something else to it. Maybe adding a rollover to the links would help. I also agree about the .pkg - to me it looks more like a weight measurement.
The only thing that bugged me was the scrolling text at the top, cheapens the site IMO.
Good job

Where are you coming in from? What network? I have just quickly tested connectivity and the machine is running/network is running fine.
However after a quick traceroute fron fiber network solutions I found an outage on ELI on the way to our border router with UU.
I'll check it out when I get to work.
Mods/Admins - I promise to do my reviews of websites, im just under the gun right now at work. You know how it is as an admin - Your either in crisis mode or not.
Thanks for the updates you guys. I agree with the scrolling text - I will be removing it today.
More to come after I get back to work.
