Can I rent a koala for petting?
...
That dude with the fuzzy face doesn't look like a Koala.
Your site design is haphazard. You use smaller sizes on the header, but some of your menu is "Fuck your eyeballs" large for the options for locale, and then it goes back down to tiny text links.
The 99.9 % UPTIME GUARAN-text breaks off, and the boxes are bizarrely different colors, rather than the boxes within them being the lighter color with a darker bordering box.
There's not a lot of content, but the changes between styles makes it look very unfocused, and somehow it's really obnoxious with eggplant on orange.
Please pay someone to make it not suck.
So all you're doing is resell BuyShared hosting with a koala flavor and price ? Nice.
Looks very much like those overused html5 templates.
Plus i spot some rockets :0
Terms of Service are atrocious. Are you Host Koal, HostKoala or Host Koala?
Is this the TeraHost template?
TeraHoster I believe.
*Some info about Theme Creator:
* Name: Pleurat
* Version: 1.0
* Author/Team: Themekolor
You know koalas have a nasty pee smell from, well, peeing on themselves.
What's include under "Free SEO optimization"??
Your PTR hasn't been set. Doomed to fail for spam filters.
Whois refers to gmail email. Not too much professional imho.
The address in your whois info shows a residential place. Not a no-no but given the gmail address I wouldn't bet my money on receiving the best support when the shit hits the fan.
You just have 1 dedicated server in each location. At least, that's what I get from reading https://hostkoala.com/serverspec.html. No fail over server per location in case one dedi collapses?
Just for curiousity: your company consists of 4 people. The founder, 1 Sysadmin, 1 head of marketing, 1 head of support. Why so many heads on 4 people? Who are they head of if there's just 4 people of whom 1 is the founder / president?
Sorry, has nothing to do with the layout of your site. But lots of bells are ringing just giving it a quick look.
Delivering sitemap.xml to google webmaster tools.
It looks slike one of those typical starter templates + BABY KOALA logo for $0.99.
Hmm so I guess I should :
1) Change the logo
2) Make menu text larger
3) Make some headers text smaller & make the font sizes more consistent throughout the site
I'll look into em and make changes tomorrow, thanks lads!
this site needs approval of @quick first. He may also ask you not to ask again.
Goofyass design
Maybe I should go for simplicity and just use the basic FlatHost template ? I bought that too from themeforest years ago.
I've updated my whois info ( but the registar says it may take up to 5 days to show the changes ) and am gonna do PTR today
Thanks again for the advice !
I like the FlatHost template. But I also don't mind your current one. It's not perfect but the main problem is the content and the organisation of content.
So, I just edited FlatHost template this time, and hopefully everything looks neater and better this time, any new thoughts ? Contact form isn't working atm, I'll be looking into that later today ~
Thanks in advance !
Also to answer a few other questions :
@WSS I hope this new one headers look better this time, I guess there's little content, but FlatHost is very simple and clean, and I hope it does not look as messy as the old one was.
@24x7servermanagement , @quick I removed the SEO optimization thingy, I actually drafted a small guide from gathering from the top 5 guides I found on google, and have sent the same draft to 3 of my customers who asked for SEO optimization, and offered them to do the steps on their behalf if they wanted. ATM the new site advertise that, might put it back if you think what I did is okay.
@corbpie I like BuyShared rockets too, I don't have rockets anymore.. I think
@sdglhm Yes it was TeraHoster but I changed to FlatHost
@Ho-ost Thanks for the heads up on my ToS
@Akito Hmm my current host sends out mail from a different set of IPs and so far mail goes through without problems.. Also I got a reseller plan from BuyShared and msp, both whom are pretty reputable especially around LET, i think it's safe.. Also removed the server specs page to avoid confusion i suppose !
As suggested by numerous people, I also got rid of the Koala !
I am open to more suggestions, even if you think I made things worse, I'll try to improve the site.
Thanks in advance
