[WLHosting]

Hello, WLHosting is getting a new order form. We would like to see what everybody thinks of it. We are currently working on easy ways to modify it so a non programmer can use it when it is available for sale. But anyways. We would like to hear your suggestions. Please fill out the form with your email in there and please post your comments in the comments or questions box. Thanks!

OK - maybe I'm missing something, but it's just an order form. And a fairly bland one at that.

Not wanting to be harsh or anthing, but the header could do with some sprucing up and the layout of the form itslef is very boring (all the text boxes are the same length).

Try varying the lengths of the text boxes, and where two or more are fairly short, put them on the same line. Also, get rid of the border lines on the table and try adding some colour to the form.

Hope this helps...

thanks for being honest everybody. I will implement a lot of the ideas and repost it in a while. Thanks!

I have implemented some new design features that make it so that it does not have as many divider lines, different top and bottom. It also has a username and pass min and max. Soon to have an email validation. Please check it out and tell me what you think. Thanks!

EDIT: Adding link to script again.

Hi Daniel,

I had a look at the form and it is slightly better, however here are some suggestions you might want to consider:

1. Make the section headers (personal info, account details, etc) stand out a bit more by changing the background and text colours of the cells (maybe white on blue or something to match the header. I'd rethink the font on the header too - looks almost cartoon-ish). Also, try leaving a blank row at the end of each section to seperate it from the next one a bit better.

2. Right align the field labels (name, company, etc) so that they seem connected to the text boxes and put the "(Optional)" and "(Between 4 and 8 characters)" after the text boxes.

3. Seriously, vary the length of the text boxes a bit. It's unlikely that a zip code would be that long or an email that short. Also, since you have a Country field I presume you plan to sell to international customers - in that case you might want to rethink the labeling of the State and Zip Code to something more generic. Not all of us live in states and have zip codes Nothing is more annoying to us international customers than sign up forms that presume everyone on the internet lives in the US!!

Anyway, sorry for the length of the post but I hope these suggestions help...

Cheers,
Shane
