Please could you review and post some feed back on our new company pages at

www.ACE4SPACE.com.

WHMCS has been integrated using SSL and the whole layout should be about finished.. It has IPB integrated and WHMCS..

We would really appreciate some feedback if you have a moment to look.

For all those that comment contructively we will offer a discount on any of our services. Please contact us with your post reference!

Well.. it's pretty :)

Admittedly the flash animations did take a little while to load. And I think in general some people are going to be put off by that.

The WHMCS looks like a good start, but I think you can remove the domain searcher box at the top and possibly give the WHMCS tables a little padding to breathe.
 
Turn that sound off! :)
The last thing I want to hear when I am listening to my jazz here is special effects on mouse rollover and home page loads.

I think you did a good job. As for load times it took me about 5 seconds. The flash is good.

We have attempted to reduce the flash file sizes... Sound has been reduced to the minimum, we like the rollover clicks! Admittedly the first page announcement .wav could be annoying but it is only on the first page and is to make a statement that you have arrived!

Flash should load quite quick and so should the other graphics!

Integrations should work well with IPB taking its member list from WHMCS and Status2K working well with WHMCS Server Statuses!

Thanks all for the constructive comments!

Love your site. Loads instantly for me here. The audio isn't invasive and actually adds another dimension to capture prospects attention.

And so it should with our super server lol! Glad you liked it, we thought the same about the sound. Its only little clicks afterall! Thx for lookin!
 
It loaded instantly for me, and the opening animation is very eye-catching, if gratuitous. I recommend doing away with the sound effects - they fit well, but I think some users will find them irritating. If nothing else, lose the roll-over audio.
 
Boo - do you mean it? we like the roll over switch noises when you select a menu item!! Are you sure?
 
You can't please everyone. This really depends on your target audience. This is like Apple vs PC or Ford vs Chevy. Audio and video have a proven track record of enhancing online sales. Overdone, it can have the opposite effect. I think your site has great balance.
 
Hello mfwl, not to put a downer on this topic at all but i remember seeing this template on one of the large open template sites... not a bad thing mind. Just be aware of phishing sites, they tend to be very problematic with such open templates (even i have a copy).

I like the IPB integration and things you have done with the site mind it looks very good compared to the basic shell they provide :) - on a site note prehaps try the web 2.0 template with whmcs for the ordering, could work very well with the theme.

Hey yes the basics were based on that template - however if you compare you will see that only about 30% of the original survives! We have totally ripped it to shreds, re css'ed and re flashed it! We are happy with the enhancements we made and think we have injected enough individuality into it to make it different!

What web 2.0 template for whmcs???

Try Selecting the "Setup Tab" then "General Settings" You'l see "Templates" in the list it should be in the drop down if your running one of the more uptodate versions :)

will only effect the shopping cart design mind but its worth taking a look at :)
 
It's a really nice design but I don't recommend using flash in your header and your plan boxes. It's a waste of resources and takes time to load. A customer wants to view your plans immediately. At least I do, I'm impatient :P
 
Wow, really great looking site! I personally am not a fan of sound on the opening. I've had mixed issues with flash, as part of the business we want to make sure EVERYONE can view the website. I was told before, you have less than 30 seconds to capture a viewers attention and interest.

We did do this but really can't be bothered to change all the layout to the way we like it! Maybe we will upgrade shortly to WHMCS v4.0 its just that what we are using is integrated well and we are so busy that integrating the new whmcs v4.0 to look good with our site will take time - we have messed about with it but the new look (portal skin) doesnt quite fit into our containers... Can't go far wrong sticking to the old. Maybe we can use the WHMCS v4.0 without changing much to our skin... We will see!
