Hello everyone,

http://www.iwebcanada.ca/
The new iWebCanada hosting site has been launched. It is now fully up and operational.

What do you think? What could be improved?

Thanks for your input!

Hi there,
Not bad at all. I might suggest you compare your pricing to other hosts, as competition is getting tougher and tougher now.

The loading flash on top becomes somewhat annoying as you swap from page to page.

Goodluck with everything!

i agree. i dont think the flash movie should revamp itself everytime a section is changed. other than that, its awesome. i've really taken a new found respect to sites that just use shades of grey with no black.

an iframe or a real frame could help solve the loading issue with the flash menu.

Thanks for the feedback! I am leaning towards an inline frame.

Its Looking Good!

Can i suggest you ditch the noises? I hate noises on websites that are not useful. Your noise it not useful, just irritating.

Also, the blury changing image gets really irritating and plays havok with your eyes because i fyour looking at it it make you think your focus in your eyes has gone!

Id say don't use flash. Just use HTML and CSS. The things you've done with Flash which you couldn't've done with HTML and CSS are unneccecary.

My Critique:

Good site. First thing you see is a very "modern" looking site, with great use of colours, spacing, and fonts. I really love the layout and visuals to be honest with you.

Only places I see problems are with your SEO. Besides the flash, no where did I see links to the other parts of your website. As we all know, google does not like reading flash (Cant do it), so you may want to think about putting links to your other sections at the bottom of your page, most probably using CSS to ediit a h1 or h2 tag to make it better for google's spiders.

Finally, your pricing seemed a little off. I have 4 websites right now, all hosted at $7.00 a month (USD), with 65 Gig's of transfer/month, and 2000 megs of soace. I do have to add that this is an outsourced web hsoting solution (india) and therefore they have some faults such as customer service, and have the advantage of making profit at a different relativity than someone in Norht America running a similar company would, however it's just something to think about.
