Chrylich: Thanks for commenting at least..
I think i still have a lot to improve on..
as regards the "about us" link, u should probably give more enlightment.. i did my research n to the best of my knowledge, it is valid.. i infact did a validation check.. i initially got an error buh after adding the "%20" and rechecked, i got a correct validation.. i'll try n see if i can pull links on that topic buh im sure it is correct
you know that we're guided by rules here. we all makes mistakes, but how we handle it determines who we are.
you know that i can not add more points to you after you edit it. it wont be fair to others.
take it as a learning experience, and try as much as possible to test everything before the deadline.

wish you well next contest cool

You are getting up gradually, that is commendable. But you need to get in touch with current design standards and estatics.

Your design is very plain, flat and not so appealing.

Before you do a design job, try to get inspirations from the web and test your prowess with them.


Thus:


We all write jagajaga codes, but in competitions, and professional team jobs, code structure and neatness is a must. Imagine getting a new project to modify, you open up your editor and you meet your worst nightmare angry


I was actually wowed by your external css code structure but your inline css also gave you away

Also try to combine related values. Example; margin-left, margin-right etc to margin.

Inline js, the same thing


Code Neatness: 6% of 15%

2/5 on Html

3/5 on css

1/5 on JS




Code Indentation: 7% of 15%

2/5 on Html

4/5 on css

1/5 on JS




Na so i come dey find the google map but na my guy face wey i see undecided

Rules Adhering: 14% of 15%


You have so many errors on your css

inline js, everywhere you go


Offficial Rules by language: 8% of 10%

3 on html

3 on css

2 on js




Project Features: 18%  of 20%


You added an optional slider

Extra Features: 4% of 10%


Unbroken Links: 10% of 10%


There's nothing like double initial commits

Successful check: 4% of 5%



Final comment:

Like i said before, try to get inspiration online and test your prowess. Improve on your code organisation and neatness

You seem very good in your field and you have a good eye for design. But so does everyone here.

As this contest is to test how good your coding skills are and not if you can chose a good looking bootstrap theme and background picture to modify to your taste, thus are my decisions.


As seen, evidently on your submitted work, you wrote almost only html and css. With a little inline javascript (5 lines), that repeats itself on every page.

I would advise you up your skills on javascript, move the scripts to a seperate file and include it just how you included bootstrap.


Code Neatness: 9% of 15%

5/5 on Html

3/5 on css

1/5 on JS




Code Indentation: 11% of 15%

4/5 on Html

4/5 on css

1/5 on JS




Rules may be awkard, but it is there to be adhered to.

You broke the following rules:


1. where the homepage shows your company intro where read more links to about us., services, mission, vision

The links must be there, but doesnt have to lead to anywhere


2. form must have the fields(Firstname, Lastname, email, address, phone) and must validate all fields

You left out the fields firstname, lastname and address. Then manufactured fullname grin


3. Page3(A static about Us page)that shows about your company and a Google map of maybe your location.

The google map should be on the about us page not the contact us page


Therefore:


Rules Adhering: 3% of 15%


Offficial Rules by language: 9% of 10%

4 on html

3 on css

2 on js




Project Features: 15%  of 20%


I could not find any other extra feature apart from the one you were asked to do. Never the less, i'll give you 2 points for the good use of css3 transitions wink

Extra Features: 2% of 10%


Unbroken Links: 10% of 10%


Successful check: 5% of 5%



Final comment:

Like i said before, you're a very promising young man. But design have gone past frameworks. Frameworks make websites look like each other and adds so much complexities and unnecessary codes.

You should invest your resources more on custom coding. Be creative and learn to love what you do. That way, you would break boundries.

I do not quite believe you did the project yourself because you made so many edits that you seem not to know what they are of. I think you got the  archive online, while editing it, you removed some very important parts of that project.

Nvertheless, if you really did, i would advise you get a current web designing ebook and start afresh. Web designing is a career you can only succeed in if you have the passion for it.


Thus:


Code Neatness: 2% of 15%

2/5 on Html

0/5 on css

Code Indentation: 2% of 15%

2/5 on Html

Rules Adhering: 6% of 15%


Offficial Rules by language: 3% of 10%

2 on html

1 on css

0 on js




Contact form does not even validate

Project Features: 7%  of 20%


Extra Features: 0% of 10%


Google map is broken

Unbroken Links: 5% of 10%

3sha4lyf: Teleperformance ltd is the new company that will manage visa applications at VACs in Naija from 1 July 2014. That means lekki office don close and a new VAC is opened at VI and ppl would be expected to register with them (Teleperformance) to book an appointment at VI after filing ur online application otherwise ur appointment may be delayed.


Better for them. Vfs may not have been offering good service to them or meeting the targets outlined in their contracts. Just saying.
probably. as of january, ikeja were processing tier 4 visas 2 to 6 working days.
lekki took more than 15 working days to process mine, which resulted to me being denied cos i applied late
