Needs little more eyecandy if you want people to stay longer then 15 seconds. Make the contact page have a form on it. Database is a good idea, but maybe change the title to something easier. I didn't really know what it was at first. :rolleyes:

Also your site missing a footer with copyright and any other tech info. :p

First impressions: For a gamer, this site is not very colorful or exciting. In fact, it is boring. Who is this guy? He has a Hotmail email address, so he could be a spammer for all I know. Why doesn't he have an email address from his domain name? He doesn't seem very credible, so I don't know if I care to read his advice.

Okay, this is supposed to be a troubleshooting site with information. But it could look more professional. Maybe a nice logo banner or enlarged text at the top. Copyright info at the bottom of each page. You could even add reviews of games and maybe a guestbook or poll where others can post related info. Will people bookmark this site? Maybe.

My comment is not about the site design, per se', but the way some of the information provided is worded. For example: I'm an electronics tech by training. You write in one of your pages, "Please contact me if you find any errors in the solutions - there's bound to be a few " which is kind of like saying "We're sure there are mistakes in here, let us know when you find them for us." which is not a Good Thing on a tech support site. :eek:

Under "Terms and Conditions" I found the statement, "Certain parts of the website may be incomplete, contain errors or become expired at any point in time..." further suggesting inaccuracy in the information presented. Now granted, I understand what you're trying to say -- "Don't hold me responsible if it doesn't work or breaks your stuff" but I'm suggesting a more positive way of presenting it. Something like: "These are solutions that have worked for others. Since no two machine failures are -exactly- alike, please understand you'll be trying this solution at your own risk. If the solution does not work on your machine, we'd appreciate your sending the details (version number, etc) so we can add it to our database."

Or something like that. Focus more on the positive aspects of what you have to offer.
