Randomness FTW!

nor me...

(nice name!)

Origamiguy · 30-01-10, 10:07 PM

yeah. Playing around with nameserver settings.
Leave it 24-48 hours and then try again.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Origamiguy · 31-01-10, 12:04 AM

Temporary home at [nope - this doesn't work either]

okay, domain and nameservers are linked, you should see the default 000webhost placeholder.
Now to FTP my entire site up...

Origamiguy · 31-01-10, 12:53 AM

(Triple post sorry)

Okay everyone it should work now.
FTPOnTheGo iPhone app FTW!

**MJ10** · 31-01-10, 12:58 AM

Looks good. Could do with a grammer check, full stops and the like.

Sausage muffin is very random!

**rider900** · 31-01-10, 08:06 AM

Very random name, don't know if i'd be able to remember it! Probably end up typing in muffin sausage!

Good site

Maybe you could add a few more images, e.g. the 1,2,3 steps images and grammer needs a check

Also try and make the sign up here button clearer, make it a different colour so it stands out more.

Origamiguy · 31-01-10, 09:22 AM

Thanks guys - will attempt to update it from my iPod... :P

Origamiguy · 31-01-10, 11:32 AM

okay, grammar should now be fixed.

eonbar · 31-01-10, 01:16 PM

whats the reason for the name?i know iMoose is kinda random aswel, but in my head its slightly more memorable and is linked to the who iInsertwordhere type thing.

is it to make it more unique? i think that was my reasoning.
forfreegift
ipodforfree
free-consoles-and-stuff
super-duper-gift
etc
etc

can never remeber whos belongs to who... sausage muffin definatly stand out in hat case

Origamiguy · 31-01-10, 01:26 PM

yeah, people are more likely to remember it if it's unique/wacky.
with all the other ones, they seem too similar and you could easily go to someone else's one. With mine, it's very difficult to make a mistake.
Fun Fact: The name SausageMuffin actually came from a maths lesson 2 weeks ago. My friend Sean randomly blurted it out when he got frustrated at the work we were doing, and my brain just went "MEMORISE THAT NOW!!!"

**MJ10** · 31-01-10, 01:28 PM

That's true if you telling people about it... but if their just clicking the link at the top of google for Free iPhone then theres no propblem!

You'll need to do a lot of seo work

Origamiguy · 31-01-10, 01:53 PM

opinions on the visual style i opted for, anyone?

eonbar · 31-01-10, 02:04 PM

PERSONALLY:
I wouldn't use time new roman as the defult standard text. use something slightly more up-to-date. maybe Tahoma or such? to me it seems cleaner and will fit in better.

where you have a strip going down the middle of the page with all the data on, id curve it off at the bottom and maybe have a few pixles of white (where you've shaded it if you see what i mean)

also, with the green i think it detracts from the clean black/white/gray thing which your going for.

i like how it works with the apple website tho, and can see how that sense of familiarity works well to the 'consumer'

....and yeh, have a look thru exceem and the web to get some SEO working for ya. meta tags and that sorta thing...

maybe on your get mine try and simple it down to the Three step process which people tend to go for.

don't get put down by my personal opinion, but just though it may be something to look into? good luck with everything pal

Madex · 31-01-10, 02:06 PM

It actually look really nice, loving the images

My CSS for that is

Code:

font-family:Helvetica, Gill Sans MT, Trebuchet MS;

But I'll change that.
