dtwebs -> Please Review This Site (10/8/2004 19:58:13)

Hello!

I am currently working on an online conversion site at http://www.convertthis.com
The site performs conversions for measurements such as length, mass, temperature, etc..

Feel free to provide comments and suggestions about the look and feel of the site, page and site layout, optimizations which would improve search engine rankings, and any features you would like to see on the site.

Thank You and I look forward to read your feedback,
dtwebs

Hiya and welcome.

It's clear and the info is easy to get at. Good

Don't like the following bit....
quote:

As you will soon see, we perform conversions of various measurements.
We convert from miles to kilometers, liters to gallons, pounds to kilograms ...


Rather stating the obvious and not worded right. It sounds.....ummm....odd.

One thing that would be useful on there and prompt me to bookmark the site is a currency converter with the latest rates in it.

If you want to see the kind of thing I mean, checkout http://www.xe.com/ucc/
Try getting the result to appear on the same page though. This one is dead irritating as if you have more than one to do then you're constantly hitting the back button.

so you're not using the mouse gestures extension in firefox or mouse gestures in opera??
:)



caz -> RE: Please Review This Site (10/9/2004 7:11:03)

Following on from jaybee, here's a suggestion for the wording for the first paragraph - with a less "scientific" sound...


You can convert miles to kilometers, liters to gallons and more at the touch of a button...

Our newest tool, "Financial" will calculate stock gains/losses...

To begin, either use "Quick Selection" at top right, or choose from the elements below for conversion.

A currency converter would be an excellent addition to promote stickiness.

Nope! But then I'm not using a mouse. I've got a stylus and a pad. [:D]

14 pounds maketh a stone. Forsooth. Gadzooks and I say old chap!

I weigh 8st 12lb. Do the math.

Ask me in kilos.................... not a clue.



caz -> RE: Please Review This Site (10/9/2004 12:00:13)

14lbs = 1 stone

Want pecks, bushells and hundredweights next?

[:D]



jaybee -> RE: Please Review This Site (10/9/2004 12:01:47)

Do you think he'll believe us now we've both said it? [:D]

How about rods, poles and perches?

i wont give my weight in pounds or stone..perhaps rocks?



jaybee -> RE: Please Review This Site (10/9/2004 12:04:11)

Are we talking stones or boulders?



dpf -> RE: Please Review This Site (10/9/2004 12:08:24)

I think this last kidney stone was a boulder!!! I guess, without it, I am around 13 stone..lol



jaybee -> RE: Please Review This Site (10/10/2004 5:39:17)

Most boys keep their stones in their pockets not their kidneys.

I bet we have now confused the hell out of dtwebs. [&:]

Basically, convert as much as you can find to as much as you can find. It'd be great to have a comprehensive site.

"The one-stop converter shop"



Donkey -> RE: Please Review This Site (10/10/2004 13:40:53)

Hi DTwebs, take a look at the site I use Convert Me

I've just compared it to your site and IMHO convert me is much easier to use and faster.




jaybee -> RE: Please Review This Site (10/10/2004 14:50:56)

And how often do you need to convert letheks to semodiums?



Donkey -> RE: Please Review This Site (10/10/2004 19:05:00)
