New World Wi-Fi Hotspots Directory

unwired · #1 (**permalink**) 10-08-2004, 05:39 PM

Hello,
have recently launched www.wirelessclan.com that contains a directory of commercial and free hotspots around the world included New Zealand obviously.
Would like to receive some feedback about the site and also see the NZ hotspots list grow up.
8) to all

THe site looks OK, however in my opinion its is over cluttered with adds and other crap that really does not need to be there. Keep in mind that some users are not technicly savy (still) and require a simple way to find stuff without the pain of having to traverse a pile of content.

When i went into the side it took over 30 seconds to locate what i was looking for (the link to the directory) this was due to the cluttered nature of the page.

The other thing is that i have been trying to find where to list my nodes but was unable to locate the information as to how to do this.

Regards
Andrew

Hello Shadow,
thanks for your suggestion...
I've added in the menu a direct link to the hotspot insert form, that you can use only if registred as member.
Also added another link to the wifi hotspots directory
Ads are going to become less, which ones would you suggest to remove?

Hope to see your nodes listed soon

bye bye

I have to agree with Andreww on this one - too many ads.

Ambitious but lacking in up to date detail for New Zealand.

More time needed...

havent had a chance to look yet, but if you can provide better maps than NodeDB we'll all be happy, NodeDB portrays our cities as roadless yellow blotches

it looks a bit ferrel on a widescreen (1680) laptop. Try repeating background images maybe?

Nice site started to take a look around.

Could do with a little bit more whitespace aye.

From the above, click on NZ.

We get pretty good hits from around the world on these pages.

Good luck
