• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Aimless.

Aside from the Google ads everywhere. I'm assuming they're GoDaddy's ads, which is definitely not professional. I don't see anyone using a repair service on free hosting with ads everywhere.


"PC" is an acronym, so each letter is capitalized. Either center the content, or put the links on the left. My eye goes directly to the three big green links and I almost completely disregard the iFrame.

I don't recommend having a New York Jets email address. Not professional. Use domain-based email addresses.
 
Agreed ... I would say that pushing Apple Quicktime on your visitors is not good too. Try Flash instead.
 
If you're serious about this business, you have to get your own domain. No ads whatsoever. You also need to have consistency with the site. Your big green buttons are actual graphics, whereas the Links banner and footer area are plain markup background colors.

The buttons have white squares to the right of their text, like bullets, but the content is to the left.

I don't recommend iFrames for this use. Since your iFrames have to link to a separate page file, why not just use that file to be the page? It won't do anything to load times, and you won't get a scrollbar if you don't restrict it.
 
Ummmm .... get rid of the Mario tunes immediately! You have to ask yourself, would you buy from the site? If you went to newegg and they had a loop of mario jams playing, innacurate use of grammar, and a domain like newegg.ripoff.com ..... I'm pretty sure you'd look elsewhere.

Not to bash, but those things should have been researched before ready for detailed inspection. Hope some of the comments listed above helps
 
host it from home if you have a decent connection have a look at dydns / apache / IIS and portforwarding

its really easy

then simplify your site a bit nice clean lines remove the ads

I personally would not recommend hosting your website yourself. Than you have to worry about maintaining hardware, software, and securing the website. Instead I'd recommend going with a reliable host, check the stickied host thread. There's a lot of good ones out there. I recommend mediatemple, or mosso. But there are quite a few good cheap/er ones listed in that thread too.

NOW, onto your website. Not to be too rude, but in my opinion it is barely worth reviewing. As someone else said, you need to ask yourself if YOU would buy from your company, based on your website alone.

If I pulled up a website like this I wouldn't even give it the time of day. I'd instantly press the back button.

In terms of action items, in no particular order they are:
  • Get real hosting, with NO ads
  • Get rid of the iframe.
  • Make a consist set of styles / consistent design
  • Remove anything that is unprofessional, a personal bio that says 'well i started...' just doesn't cut it. A screen name that reads that I am blasphemy? Don't insult your viewer! Why would someone care what your hobbies are, or your age, religion or even your highschool? Not only that, but why do you have links to xbox.com and myspace.com? And unless your bio photos are professional, or interesting in some way, I would remove them. Take digg.com's about pages as an example: http://digg.com/about/jay
Sorry if that seemed brutal.
