I could probably suggest several improvements, if you'd like to hear them.

Exactly :) I created an account with them when I saw the posting about an future OS that works with an fully touchpad surface.

Your old site looked much better btw. When it was flash it was actually a beautiful website. Now it just looks plain ugly..


The new site is almost finished :)

You can go and see it here -> YeoWorks.com

I had to get rid of the flash, because Google wasn't picking up on the text and they refused to give me advertisements with a site that's one page and fully flash.


What do you mean Google 'refused to give you advertisments'? Its not like Google actually checks the content of your site before allowing adsense ads. You just sign up, and get code to display the ads.. They certainly have never checked for me.. (and yes I've had 1 page sites, not flash though).

If you're talking about Google search results, you can just change your website metadata (which is what shows up in Google).

Or you could use a different advertising agency, Commission Junction is a good one (www.cj.com).

Anyway, I just hugely preferred the flash site. Even with your new appearance, its still not nearly as good as the old one.

Good Luck! :)

It's looking great. Any third party application support? I read that it includes your reference and a calculator and I'm sure more when it's released or previewed, it would be nice for developers to include their ideas.

I'd love to work with you to try to include some sort of plug-in support and theming options. Even though you stated you would like to stick with the grey Mac look, I'm sure your audience would be widely opened with third party theming and application support.

When testing comes around, I'd love to be included. :)

Good luck, and remember I'd love to help out!

Thank You :) I plan on helping all types of developers. My focus is to make it to 1.0 and 1.x and so on will open doors. Techlution will play a big part. You will see when I release it.

You should change your logo. Loose the soft brush stoke and Arabic looking letter combination and get some professional looking vector art.

Talking bout yourself in third person and calling yourself president... not my cup of tea. But you set high standards for yourself, that is not a bad thing.

Well, it's actually true. I do more than what you see.

The logo is staying the same. I like it and will do an different style on the next version.

I don't like splash screens, but sometimes they need to be used when the program takes more than a second to load because the user needs to know that the program is opening. Do you think you can get the icon to go more with the definition of the word? I know that Domicile is "home" to more than just web browsing. Just my opinion really, the icon is nice as it is though.

I know that domicile means home, but I changed the logo from an home icon. The home icon seems to be played out and I wanted something different.

Actually I just thought of something :)

I think I was using too much outer and inner glow effects. It made the image look softer, less sharp and less professional. I'm reediting it now and taking away some of the glow to bring back the sharpness to the image.

Thanks for pointing that out seriously :) It looks so much better.

Good to see your making progress.

One thing I'm not understanding while looking at it. Exactly what account is being used to sign in with? It's not just Yahoo related, so I'm just curious and not understanding...


Edit: Uh oh.. I noticed the advertisements box :unsure:

Don't worry about the ad box. It's not going to be infested with ads like AOL.

What browser engine are you using?


Right now I'm looking to take it away from IE completely. I'll surprise everyone later with the new built in web browser.
