Thanks all for the feedback. @Wesley. A bigger thanks. Have applied point 5. Point 3 & 4 had been considered earlier, working on that. 2009/9/7 I. Ati <mueni0@gmail.com>

Looks good. Here are some issues:
1. The 'Seach' word ontop of the directories is 'cut' at the bottom i.e. the word is not full. I've also seen this for other words e.g. Directory and Add Entry 2. The width space with the folders (and other listings) is small. (I can't see full folder names even without expanding the tree. When the tree expands, It becomes hard to read the folder names) 3. I believe one of the main tools of this site will be search. I suggest putting the search facility in the home page i.e. don't click button to access it. 4. The image on the website is good. Can it be an image showing the cross-section of Kenya from the Indian Ocean to L.Victoria? Probably this is what u intented. It would be nice to see a silhoute of Nairobi CBD, coast CBD, Kisumu CBD, Mt. Kenya, The Plateau, and some prominent Kenyan wildlife. I think this shows the symbolism that the site spans the whole country. 5. I think it's difficult to know what this website is about without having being told what it does. Put some information in the homepage. In short imagine this is the first time u enter that webpage, wouldn't u like to know all the awesome features it has, what you as the visitor can do, ...

Alvin,
All firms get put on the list, as long as you have a website and provide any form of service in Kenya. So all Kenyan firms, non-profits, community based organisations, govt bodies, individuals, na kadhalika

Hi Skunks, Skunkettes, Spectators, Speculators, etc
We've just redesigned website.co.ke please give your comments. Do you think this is innovative?
Beyond being a directory, its meant to be a review of all things Kenyan. Lots of times on this list, guys ask about Zuku or Orange or other ISPs. Guys want to be referred to an electronics shop or car dealer. Juzi Daudi was talking about the power of being referred to somewhere for service. How about if you could all log in to website.co.ke and give a comment on differences companies and organisations whose service you use. It doesn't have to be all at once, you could add one comment everyday.
The result we'll then have is a site where all Kenyan companies, organisations, govt bodies, etc (with websites) have been reviewed and their services rated by the public. This way we can all have an idea of what service to expect and those listed can know how to improve.
I beg that you, Skunk(ette)s be the first to throw in your many comments in there. We all know many you have something to say, why not say it in a way that will contribute to all and aid the service provider to improve.
