Please let me know if the prices I have set for my web development services are reasonable. Example of my work is also my website: http://www.arisingmedia.com/luke631/ and the pricing are posted on my website.

If you have any suggestions, questions or comments please feel free.

That made me feel all nostalgic for the 1990s.

Tables for positional layout. Ahhh, the memories.

If only there were nested tables it would be even better (just joking).

On a serious note though, it looks fine for a desktop, but not a great user experience on a mobile platform (just viewed on iPad Mini, iPhone and Galaxy S4). While I play EvE on my desktop and laptop, I mostly use smaller devices for casual browsing and the lack of response to the platform would turn me off visiting the site very often if it was a site my Corp or Alliance that used it.

On a second note, there is very little covered on what administrative tools are available once the site is built. Aside from forum and killboard implementations, there is little info about the possibility of blog/news/pages/etc. that the owner could add without hiring you for additional work. If there is a CMS underpinning it that can be accessed through an admin login, that would be worth highlighting.

Run your website through http://validator.w3.org/ if you want some headache. Twisted


To be honest, I myself just started to move my own heinous old table code to div's.
Not something I want to but you cannot escape the future.

w3.org has some nice tools to check your code and css, I would almost say it's a must.
Google PageSpeed may also help at times.

And check your fruits of labor on whatever you can get your hands on, tablets, phones, etc.

Not that bad.

I would like to see discounts for package deals (web,host,forum, and killbboard) and/or multiple month prepays.

Also if an alliance get a package is there a discount if member corps and players want pages?

Thank you all for the inputs. Surprisingly it was all constrictive. I will try and up date the coding lol and consider all inputs, Thank you all again, it's really appreciated.

You may want to request a move to Eve Marketplace.



Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Thread has been moved to Price Checks.

Also damn your prices are cheap. 300 mil ISK is maybe about $10 at current conversion rates. That's almost minimum wage for one hour of RL unqualified work. Just some perspective.

As an addition to my colleague above, the question has more or less been answered an as this is the price check forum section, Threads like these do not really belong here. If you are ready to release your service, please repost in the Sell Orders forum section with the tag {Service}.

Thread locked.
