Hey folks,

I recently completed OnlineLinuxBackup.com and would love to hear your feedback. We sell Linux Backup Software that is truly best-in-class, but I'm not sure if it comes across in the site.

Suggestions about layout, content and arrangement are very much appreciated. I'm also curious if anyone has opinions about putting the price on the front page, or forcing the user to invest another click to discover it.

Your thoughts?

Thanks in Advance!

linux users are traditionally tech-wise, as linux distros get easier, that will change, but for the moment
a site aimed at linux users has to validate to be taken seriously.
to specifiy xhtml, all the ampersands are going to need to be & -ed
run your site through browsershots.org and see if your layout messes up in any of the top linux browsers.
It messes up in Konqueror see below

Hey Thanks!

What a great site (browsershots.org)! I hadn't known about them, but that made testing Konquerer much easier as my distro doesn't use it (nor was it in the rpm repos). For anyone who may have run into a similar compatibility issue with Konquerer 4.2, the fix was pretty simple. The default for h1 and h2 is crazy large in Konquerer and seems to be standardized across most other browsers. Here are the two lines to fix it:

h1 {font-size:200%;}
h2 {font-size:150%;}

Hope that helps someone else.

I did also fix up the couple of issues that were causing it not to validate, so now that is fixed as well.

Thanks for the help. Anyone else? How about suggestions for content -- assume you *know* this is the best backup software for small/medium business in Linux. Would you buy it based on this site?

Thanks!
