Thanks for looking!

Looks very professional. A detail that caught my eye was the text 'Seamless Text Only Integration'. It would be better if it was more integrated with the main logo - and in white color. Also, the country flags need to be better done visually. And the horizontal bars that divide the menu items on the left side look kinda silly. Maybe use plain white bars instead. Just details though...

it does look very professional i like the buttons they are pretty cool, the navigation is looks good small but good, then the size of the website is great. everything matches so you have done a good job

Yeah i would agree... nice. Nice use of colour... graphics are nice... Would perhaps make the left menu bg a different colour of shade? just my opinion

looks like so far everyone likes it

Is it me or am I alone in the irony that when I click on the link for the text only page I get a 404 page instead?

Looks to be a problem with the url, and it is only on the US and the EURO site. The UK site seemed to be working fine.

Also your code is not showing up as valid when you click on the W3C button, you may want to look into it. The code looks ok, so it may be in their parser.

The overall feel is good and I like the layout and colors, the information is well presented and straightforward.

Good Job

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

The text only links work ok from my end, but if they don't from elsewhere, please could you copy and paste the link so I can see where it's pointing.

The whole site should validate as XHTML1.0 Strict, but when the page goes through the parser it removes a lot of formatting and it may not validate from the text only version. (we're working on it!)

URL in address bar:
for US http://www.html2text.com/us/%5CHTML2Text%5Csyshome

for EURO http://www.html2text.com/euro/%5CHTML2Text%5Csyshome

your %5C gives a slash that goes the wrong direction so its trying to find .../euro/\HTML...

Again the UK link is fine.

Hope this helps

The site looks good. However, I clicked on the link to '3 tier systems' home page and I've gone google-eyed! The flash animation is just too much with the squares flying out of the background, and makes the text too hard to read.
I realise that you did not ask for comments on this site, but I thought I'd stick my 2 cents in.

Other than that, very nice site

Thanks horkam,

Should be fixed now.

Works great in IE, but it is still broke in firefox for some reason.

Sorry, but I should have mentioned the browser I was using earlier. My fault.

You're right, in firefox it doesn't work for me either.

2 minutes later...

Should be ok in Firefox now, I think it was showing a cached version.

Looks good. The only thing I saw that caught my eye is the Profeesional box at bottom seemed to look different then the 2 left ones. Small detail, yet it caught my attention.

You use blue text for links, and then you use blue text that is not linked but looks like it would be, under the "(Trial|Standard|Professional) Edition" boxes. This should not be done.

You have useless flags at the top right that do nothing. Maybe they'll eventually point to different-language versions. Flags should not be used for links to different languages anyway, as languages are country-independent. Why should an Australian have to pick between a US flag and the UK's? A Brazilian might not recognize a Portuguese flag, and vice versa. Which flag would you use for Spanish?

You don't stick to one style: On most pages, your headings (including H2 headings) are black. On your FAQs page, they are mysteriously blue.

Fix these spellings:
On the left-hand menu, replace "Accessibile" with "Accessible." Or perhaps the phrase you want is "Accessibility Service."
On the left-hand menu, replace "Resouces" with "Resources."
On the page < http://www.html2text.com/us/service.jsp >, replace "Accessibilty" with "Accessibility" in the heading.

Your FAQs page seems to have some sensibly-chosen questions. However, do you really use "Advanced compression technology"? Or is it just ordinary use of HTTP 1.1 such as what mod_gzip does in Apache?

The product itself is a hackish solution that is a poor replacement for properly-used CSS. But that's the buyers' fault, and this looks like a nice way for them to make up for their lack of knowledge.

It's not bad.

Your main navigation bar is a little hard to read. Darken the grey a tad bit. The yellow makes my eyes bleed.

The top 'Seamless Text Only Integration' looks "very" out of place.

You have a blue link in a blue background. Customize different colors for different sections of your site. Especially for links on different background colors.

Spacing isn't distributed well on the lower 'edition' boxes.
