This is a personal site for my boat, and I have had to get it done really quickly (I am trying to get new sponsors so I have to have something up) so I am expecting a few teething problems - i would be really grateful if I could get some reviews on it.

The URL is www.b52powerboat.com

The reviews I got for seaflex.co.uk were really really useful, thank you to everyone.

Phil

I don't know if it was a transient thing, but it loads incredibly slowly - and I mean SLOWLY :(

I'm on T1 here and it took several minutes.

When I clicked the Latest News button I counted 41 seconds before anything happened.

When I clicked Race Reports it took 27 seconds before the simple 'Reports will appear here ... Feb 08... etc.'

I gave up after that.

The site looks nice, but that lag - assuming it is a problem with your host or the design - will seriously affect any chance of sponsors visiting for long. (Incidentally, browsing other sites was as normal - so I don't think the problem was my end).

I experienced a fairly quick load time on all pages and I'm nowhere near a T1. ???? Wonder what was going on.

I like the clean design of the site. The navigation couldn't get any easier! I think photos of "The Team" might be a neat addition.

But...darn those popups!

Nice site.

Thanks for your comments - I think the problem is with the hosting - I have experienced some slow speeds, but only at times - and I was assured that the free hosting that I am using would be pop up free.

Can anyone recommend a good free host?

Cheers

Phil
