Layout
The first thing that I like about HostWish is the layout, which is nicely done. Most of the time when I visit a host's website, even when I am looking to buy from somewhere, I sometimes get flustered when looking around their site just because it's "clustered" and just overall confusing to navigate between the pages; however, this isn't the case with HostWish. Every page is nicely laid out in a way that just makes sense and it's easy to locate what you are looking for, which may make or break a sale. The theme also works really well on the eyes, with the colors also working effectively together.
The Colors
I was only going to touch on one strength of HostWish; however, I wanted to bring something up, and I thought it was a good enough to bring up as a second strength. The thing I had to commend HostWish on is the color scheme. Normally, hosting websites are very tech looking and futuristic, which all hosts appear to be share. Now, this is good and bad. As you know, being unique in the world of the Internet is a wonderful thing, and I feel HostWish is touching on the side of differences. The natural feel around the entire site is nice welcoming and soothing, and makes me feel comfortable, which is different.
Weaknesses:
Layout[/b]
The first thing that I saw was that fact that the header ribbon wasn't flush with the left edge of the div. My initial thought was that it was odd to look at; however, that was just me. One other thing that I noticed was in the navigation bar, the links in some of the drop downs were longer than the actual space for it. For example,
To fix this, I used Google Dev Tools and looked at "#menu .nav ul ul a" and changed the width element from "170px" to "195px" and it seemed to fix the word wrap issue. After I did this, the entire word fit in the space allotted for the link, instead of causing the issue that was captured above.
Grammar and Spelling
While looking around HostWish, I found a few errors within certain pages. While most of them aren't huge spelling or grammar issues, but they are things that you would want to be looked over before publishing the pages. Below, I will capture just a few of the things I found.
About Page
- Hostwish Hosting is currently run in Erin’s bedroom and is a small host, but we hope to get bigger and bigger by the year..
- This is a hobby that Erin has had since she was young and she loves the domain...
Services - EMail Hosting
- The proper way to spell it is e-mail or simply Email in your case of following proper rules for starting a sentence. Not too big of a deal, but it just looks odd.
FAQ
- Erin is located in the Central Standard Time Zone.
Homepage
- All websites come with a huge range of features that include: Free Domain Hosting, cPanel, WHM, PHP, Webmail, subdomains, auto installs such as WordPress and much more.
Feature box for each hosting plan
- All hosting plans come with: cPanel, MySQL, Webmail, & auto-installs of popular scripts (such as WordPress) through Softaculous.
Using a software that I have, I can check word choices as well. If you want, while changing those corrections, you can use such a tool and change some of the words in all three of your policies to make them flow a little bit better. I was not that concerned about word choice as much as I was the spelling and some grammar.
Final Remarks:
Overall, I was happy with HostWish! I am glad that you are running HostWish from your bedroom and knowing the history of HW is awesome! Keep it up! Sites like Google started from inside a garage, thing of what you can do with HW!
