1800PocketPC.com -- What do you guys think ?

Hi fellas
I have a windows mobile site 1800PocketPC.com, its just over a year old. I was wondering if you guys have heard of it ?
We usually post about freewares and the latest hardware news about windows mobile. We dont have a forum for people to hang out coz we think as long as xda-devs and ppcgeeks are there why would anyone need a forum for windows mobile. I was hoping to get some constructive criticism about the site and ways we can improve the site.
You can also subscribe to our RSS ot Twitter

I know your site for some time and it´s very good, I like the format (exept for a narrower line of adds on the right)
Congrats!

I go all the time

I really like the site,
only thing is you could be be a little bit more "selective" or "picky"
At least what I think this could be "Pearls and beauty" of xda-developers.com for the average guy.
- I really like the category style!
- The Wallpaper stuff: Naaaahh I think you will catch some fishes with this but is it really needed? I think it makes the site look a bit cheap.
- RSS and twitter is great: every Headline was a hit so far (well some exeptions but I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder).
- Customisable rss and twitter by categorys and user would be the ultimate I think (but this would almost need the power of a socialnetwork)
- You are already on the top scores of google! (at least when I search for something)
- You can discover the real beauty of google translator when visiting your site Microfi Nitrogen -> Microfi Stickstoff (Germans get the joke)
but besides of the jokes it can be really usefull.
- I can´t test right now but have you checked "freedom from barriers"? The new "touchscreen generation" of phones might be great for handicapped persons. Would also be great to have a rating system for them as well.
So far really great
THX for this site

thanks for the kind words fellas.
@ moesfeld : Customisable rss and twitter by categorys is a great idea, I will look in to getting it done in the near future.
I am in the dark about "freedom from barriers" , do you have any links from where I can read more regarding this ?

Hi sajio,
You have really done a great job with the site, i actually am now quite addicted to your site to catch on the software which i miss on XDA. So keep up the good work and i hope with all the frequent updates and personal attention, you have made it full of valuable resources. What i think is keep your site fresh alway like you do now, and you would not need anything additional.
Regards
Sharif Ansari

Well it pretty much depends on what cms you use. Many have the "accessability for disabled" already inbuild.
I found the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines
Also I found the Web Accessibility Toolbar that lets you check if you meet the guidelines.

I know your site a while ago, and I like very much.
Keep it up

I go there @ll the time nice job!

thanks guys

i love it and subscribe to rss for it. thanks for you hard work.

you are welcome

A project im working on!

Mod Edit: We do not allow advertising of external sites, especially paid, on XDA. Closed thread.
I'm really tired of craigslist being over-run with spam ads.
So i'm trying out my own project for classifieds over all forums!
pretty much it's craigslist for electronics, it's free to post up to 30 day ads, 60 day ads are $5.00
If you provide a service it's $5.00 to post.
If you're a forum user, please use the coupon code "JL14" for %5 off everything if you want 60 day ads.
please do NOT spam, as it will be heavily monitored, i'm looking for admins
Please inquire about it in this post, also if you want more carriers, or categories added please let me know here as well.
Check out what I have so far
I AM NOT doing this for money, it's my love for electronics, and buying/selling them!

This may be my first post so far, but I have some advice, as a web developer. Not bashing your coding or anything here, but users like a more modern look. A good mixture of CSS and jQuery can make it pleasing to the eye.
...also, it says 2002 - 2006 on the bottom. o.o

Fixed, and do you have any suggestions to make it more "modern"?

Well, on my sites, my friend is in charge of the layouts, and his works have progressively become more modern, in terms of less pointy edges (much like the table and div's in XDA.)
Soft, matching colors, but don't overdo it.
Perhaps a soft background, nothing too flashy. Plain color, or white even. Black if it matches.

I can't offer you design advise, but I agree with Diceroll -- people judge quickly (and harshly) on appearance. Even if your website is 100% functional, people will be turned off by a very basic appearance. Good luck with your endeavor though!

That's correct, the hypocrisy of site viewers is never underestimated.
Personally, I suck at making layouts and such, but my sites functions are probably better than the competition. I also lack advertisement skills and resources. (but that's besides the point...)
Try googling CSS3 Generators, and CSS3 makers, etc.
You can easily design nice looking layouts using those types of things. You just need to know how to incorporate them well.

Yeah, i'm working on it now, just made some changes, etc.
I'm doing free banners right now, so if you guys want to be bannered, let me know!
Appreciate your advice.

Mycolorscreen invites!

I wanted to share this site with all of the great artists here at XDA. Your work has given me a reason to constantly tinker with my phone to make it the baddest device out there. What is Mycolorscreen you ask? A huge collection and collab tool for mobile designers to come together. I have 5 invites to this site, so if you want one, PM me an email address if you dont feel comfortable posting it here, and Ill get one over to ya! I would prefer these go to people that would actually use them...

Web Designer needed?

Well here's the deal, I'm looking for anyone who is versed in web design, I require a simple, attractive looking "buy and sell" style website design with a forum section. if you think you could help, please pm me and we can converse through hangouts and see if we can make it happen! My motivation is that I reside in a booming oil community that has no private buy and sell website! the opportunity is here.
thanks for any help!

go to 99 designs, a place where you enter the job task and hundreds of designers send you their ideas of web design. It's a contest, so at the end you choose the design that you like.

Great Place to Order Seafood

So I've been working for this great company called Sizzlefish for the past year. They offer a wide selection of delicous seafood such as salmon, lobster, shrimp, halibut, haddock, scallops, crab, and a whole lot more. I would love for y'all to check out the site and please do not hesitate to suggest improvements, dm me about bugs or even suggest a product. I would strongly recommend any of our smoked salmon selection or the halibut. I've been coming to this site since I was like thirteen or fourteen and I know that there are some very talented developers who stay active on this site with great suggestions for this site. I'm also sure there are some of you out there who would love to know where to find great seafood!
If any of y'all stumble upon something you really like on the site, direct message me on here or request a live chat and I'll probably be able to hook you up with a coupon or something.
