Test my website please

Slinx · #1 February 10th, 2012, 01:28 PM

This is a website I made for my company. Please test it out in different browser and tell me if they is any errors/bugs on the website so that I can change them.

It is best viewed in Firefox, but would appreciated comments from different browser.

Please don't tell me comments on the design, I made it myself and I am not a pro website designer. This is a website for my clients only, with a few visitors per day, their won't be 10,000+ visitors on this website everyday.

Thank you.

*Update*

It seems for some people you have to clear your cache in your computer in order to view the updated version of my website. However some users may not know that, and will still be stuck seeing the old website. If anyone knows how to fix/correct that, please let me know.

Under lawn tips under mowing there is a miss spelled word, i think you meant to put choke instead of hcked

Perhaps you should check your site with an HTML validator. See http://validator.w3.org/

Also if the site is going to be changed again, you could avoid the requirement that users clear the cache, by not caching the site. The following lines in the header will do that.

<meta http-equiv="PRAGMA" content="NO-CACHE">
<meta http-equiv="EXPIRES" content="-1">

You need to double check all links, using different browsers. Using Firefox 6.0.2 (not sure why I use it), this page has problems:

http://www.gauvreauinc.com/lawncare.html

For me, this went to a redirect fake holding page of search options the host owner creates:

http://gauvreauinc.com/Maintenance%20Tips.pdf

And this, after a long wait, added, "*We will contact you in the next following days to set up your appointment"

http://www.gauvreauinc.com/orderyourservices.html

Odds are slim to none they know who I might be, to get contacted.

Using IE 9.0, no problems. Good looking site.

Hmm... did you see something at all on this page or it was totally missing? Is it only doing that on Firefox 6? The link seems to be fine on my side.

For me, this went to a redirect fake holding page of search options the host owner creates: Can you elaborate on what is a fake holding page? It is supposed to open a .pdf file from your browser, maybe it doesn't work with lower firefox versions?

It's supposed to show up a list to fill up

It's most likely the old version of Firefox that cannot see all of the features on the site. Have you tried a newer version of Firefox?

Of course I would like to fix it so that anyone with any version of Firefox can view it in the same way but I'm afraid it wont be possible.

Thanks! Even the youtube video was working on the "Driveway Sealing" page on IE 9?

Ignore my input please. I ran into other troubles with older Firefox versions I was using, so am updating everything.

Logical Slacker · #11 February 21st, 2012, 09:13 PM

I'm using Firefox 10.0.2, and my cache is set to 0MB...the site loaded fine. All links are working, and it looks good.

craisin · #12 April 3rd, 2012, 11:01 PM

Today I am using Firefox Beta on XP everything worked fine.
The You Tube video worked good too

ThomasJ1 · #13 April 11th, 2012, 11:10 AM

Slinx, I tested the website in Opera 11 and Safari 5.1.2 and there were no problems. I liked the required fields of registration design a lot.

CyberTrek · #14 May 11th, 2012, 04:23 AM

Testing on Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 3.6.28 and 12.0.

All links worked fine for me as of today, except for the lawn care on, unless I went to it directly on the website. Then, I found the reason the link
http://gauvreauinc.com/Maintenance%20Tips.pdf
did not work was because the actual link is:
http://gauvreauinc.com/Lawn%20Maintenance%20Tips.pdf
