The site is ok. My only complaint is when I arrived to the homepage, the movie just sat there. Now the movie is nice, but if my mom or someone who knew nothing about the web were to visit your site, they would wonder what is the black box in the middle? and leave. And yes the second time I went there it said mail sting, but maybe add a "click to play clip" or something

Maybe if it started playing right away, or at least had a click me picture to get the movie started.

Now maybe ordinary people are not who you are trying to relate to, and thats fine. But if you are looking to make an income from any source, you have to be user friendly

Just my 2 cents

Great site though

The problem with the movie not playing right away is because of the <embed> tag and IE. MS lost the EOLAS lawsuit, so all active content is a problem if using <embed>. Use a different method: Valid Flash, video, and audio embed (object) markup - The Web Standards Project

I like the design, it's clean and the navigation is clear.

Under the hood..
Your pages have way too many errors, lacking DOCTYPES, and its a morass of nested tables... bleaahh. Too many inline styles, use your CSS file.

100MB of storage doesn't seem too fantastic when people can get 2 GIG from Gmail.

Hi Ray,

Your site looks great - I think that the video on the front page is great quality but doesn't actually say anything - it would be cool if it introduced some or one of your services?

Also, I was on the following page and found that the picture links didn't go anywhere - no 404 but just sat there at the progress bar: Mailsting - The Ultimate Way To Communicate - Feature List

If anything you may want to start on the home page with just one services because I found it a little intimidating at first (but I'm a bit thick!).

Cheers, pondlife.

Thanks for the feedback!

Please tell me more about how to embed the flash then - so its not black to start.

100mb email and 100mb media drive- so in fact 200mb in total.

MailSting can do much more then Gmailto mention just a few- share folders, create images, send files stored direct to mobile phones (world wide) and earn rewards to use for content, sms and upgrades.

You really need to sign in to see / test the features!

go to 'Why Join MailSting' tab for a feature overview- all on the home page.

site is currently optimised for IE.

please use

There are several ways to add video/flash without the <embed>

Valid Flash, video, and audio embed (object) markup - The Web Standards Project

Thanks for all the comments- should be good in any browser now!

Movie is set to start on pause- as not to annoy return users.

Great site. Very professional, my only concern is the Video.

AWESOME video by the way, why not have that as an intro page to the site, or something that starts immediately upon entering the site?

Very nice though, just would like to see better use of the video, too awesome just to send there waiting for an inexperienced user to click play, and experienced users will appreciate it more if it was an intro or autoplay.

I need feedback too: Grannie Sandie LLC Stress Relief Dolls

Thanks,
Rob

Thank you!

The movie is paused at start because i'm sure it will become repetitive each time you visit the site.

Hey dude

Really nice website. I am impressed.. But the video needs to be a bit more prominent.. I think try placing it in the top.. increase its width maybe like span the entire width of your content wrapper.. There is a misalignment of the borders in the page of making a new account... u could fix that probably. But why the name Mailsting?? Havent used the service yet but seems it is a much more impressive service.. How do you provide these services.. Please share that with us ...

Sparsh

I could not sign up using Firefox.... that removed my interest instantaneously !!
Work up on that.. I am signing up using IE though... but still... you lose more than 50% traffic
