    Yeah they look good, the only trouble though is where this is a new.. well not even a venture, just an idea.. I don't really want to throw lots of money at it. I just need something simple to see if it's a good idea or a bad idea :)

    I bought l2tpvpn.co.uk but another member here just PM'd me with a domain name he has for sale which I want to try and get if I can as it's more brandable.

    It's funny how many times a day I open a thread and say to myself "oh look, DanielM hates America" ...regardless or the actual topic.

    What happens when you break a record?

    John from itsjtam.com. He's doing it for dirt cheap I think as his style's really nice.

  • PADPAD Member

    Lol. Done a bit of business with John, he's very very good at selling himself pretty much everywhere, his work is all over, very good designer and very competitive too!

    I signed up to Freelancer and have $50 of credit, but as soon as I tried to withdraw it they suspended my account.

    I can't even dispute the suspension, since they ban you from the dispute suspension system too!

    Expensive O_O, but nice simple design, did the other guy bail?

    Nah, decided to save the money with the designer. @Andri did a great job with the logo and I think looks ok without anything else on there.

    You really think £3.75 is expensive?

  • Design? Which design? All i see is a black text on a white background :P

  • dide. teh domain is amazin hahahaha

    It looks nice, but I'd recommend not having a hover effect for the entire row. Typically a hover effect indicates that something is 'clickable', but in this case it isn't clickable at all - which may (and probably will) confuse people.

  • joepie91: I respectfully disagree but I do see your reasoning :P

    Personally I like it like that (and once you get more plans set up your hover effect would help out more).

    Personally I like it like that (and once you get more plans set up your hover effect would help out more).

    If you want the rows to be distinguished, then at least make all rows clickable. Should be easily doable in javascript/jQuery by doing this:

    HTML:

    <tr class="clickable" data-url="/whatever/page/you/want/to/go/to.html"> ... blah ... </tr>

    Javascript:

        $('.clickable').click(function(event){
            if($(this).data('url'))
            {
                url = $(this).data('url');
                
                if(event.which == 1)
                {
                    window.location = url;
                }
                else if(event.which == 2)
                {
                    window.open(url);
                }
            }
        });
    

    CSS:

    .clickable { cursor: pointer; }
    

    Note: the above should honor user clicking behaviour in most browsers. Middle-click should open the URL in a new tab/window in the background (as a normal link would do), and left-click will open the link in the current tab/window, as a normal link would do. If you keep the original buttons intact, this will degrade fairly well for users without Javascript; they will see the hover effect, but simply won't be able to navigate by clicking the row. They can still use the button.

    EDIT: Before someone, as usually happens when these kinds of suggestions are made, says "just add an <a> element around the row and you won't need javascript" - no, that is not possible without breaking your document. Similarly, turning the data in every cell into a hyperlink doesn't work very well either, if at all (it especially breaks with multiline stuff). As far as I know, the above is pretty much your only option.

  • Site doesn't look so bad - but you should run page speed over it :)

    Google's mod_pagespeed breaks my tracking software unfortunately :(
