Fiber Elephant :)

Recommended Posts

I just completed FE and am pleased to showcase this "all-in-WHMCS" site. http://www.fiberelephant.com/

 

On index you'll see the VPS plans addons, etc. Every single bit of this information from the plan specs(storage, bandwidth, etc), control panels(configurable options) and addons are managed from within the WHMCS admin area using custom modules and pages.

 

The dedicated quote page is simply submitting a ticket with custom fields & all other pages outside the support center are custom pages created and displayed using my Blog module for easy editing in the future.

 

If you're viewing the order form you'll see dropdowns for memory, disk space, bandwidth, & Ips. These are actually addons that using my "addon-manager" I have categorized and displayed accordingly. This gives me many options, but the main one at the moment is that I can offer free/discounted upgrades unlike standard configurable options.

 

Other than that it's just a very custom template. I've removed many of the tables and recoded all the template files in use.

 

I honestly didn't put too much work into this site as I already developed much of the source in the past for others. Took roughly 8 hours over the last week from start to finish :)

 

It's pretty basic, and I'm sure I'll add more to it over the next few months, but for the investment I'm pleased with the outcome.

The floating of the h2's is making the tables being too high up in safari, and the 20px margin on the vps table is causing overflow, removing these two things make it look much better :)

With that change it's looking good- agree about the nav being a little plain!

Hi. Looks good apart from what was said above but great work as always.

 

There's one word I'd change to use standard English correctly. At the bottom of your page you have some text:

All our VPS are powered by Virtuozzo. Throughout the years we have spent countless hours testing and experimenting with multiple virtualization solutions such as OpenVZ, Xen, VMware, and in the end have always fell back on the most stable, highly supported, and overall best solution possible. For more information about Virtuozzo please visit the Parallels site or feel free to ask us any questions you may have.
which should be changed to:

Now have the testimonials module working with this site(see about us) & a new module: the "Promotions/Info Banner". Currently it rotates through desired messages saved in the admin area module. The module also allows you to describe your promotion codes, etc.. :)

nice site, i like that you are using whmcs in the root folder rather than in a sub-directory, that is how our site is going to be, makes it look more like a custom built system (which is why im having mine done that way).

 

Only thing i will say is that in Chrome, on pages where the content does not fill to the bottom of the screen it cuts the site off and it gives a white bottom.

 

Other than that i like what you have done with it, works well

Fiber Elephant has undergone a slight redesign. While all the functionality has stayed the same, I'd like some feedback on the new look :)

 

New design: http://www.fiberelephant.com/?systpl=v2

Old design: http://www.fiberelephant.com/?systpl=fiberelephant

 

rethink the design, its TOO dark in the integration the text in the white chat boxes is also white so you cant read this.

I too prefer the original look/feel of the site. There was enough white space to make the page feel inviting and the information was presented in a way that didn't overwhelm a visitor.

 

I understand everything in the table, but felt like it was a bit "too much" and all up in my face. My first instinct was to close the tab and leave :/
