New Welcome Page

We've just implemented a new look Skyrove Welcome page! (That's what we call the page that displays immediately after you've connected to a Skyrove hotspot). It's still a work in progress, so we might still add and remove a few things.



The main feature we've added is the Google Search box. We noticed many people went straight from our Welcome page to Google, so we thought we'd save you some time by allowing to do a Google Search directly from the Skyrove Welcome page.

Is there anything you really miss from the old page? Is there anything you really don't need on the new one?

The Google search bar is an awesome addition to the page. A weather forecast for the next couple of days or link to Media 24 would also be useful.

I love it. It's sleek and looks very professional. Google search bar is great and so is google maps. No one can live without that. Well done Skyrove!

I think the new welcome page looks more professional and the google bar is very useful.It would be nice if there was also news links from cnn or the like.

I like that we can do a google search right when we coonect to Skyrove!

I also think that the new look is very professional and modern.

Well done!

I agree, the new page is much better than the old one. It's much more professional. What about adding a skype link to your office on the site, like they do at travelstart? You can see what i mean at www.travelstart.co.za.

That's a great idea Brendan! Will look into it shortly.

I really like that you put a link to purchase credits right on the welcome page, it makes things much simpler and more efficient. The google search bar right on the welcome page is also great! I enjoy the new look.

The google bar was a good addition. Perhaps consider adding links to major news sources as well as updates about weather.

Good job so far!

I think it looks great. The weather feature would be good too.

As a Skyrove provider (shameless link to our website: www.redbutton.co.za) I must say the new welcome page is a great improvement. I would keep it clean and simple (as it is now) and make sure it loads fast (no high resolution images).

The addition of Google was a good start. News links would be helpful, too.

But the big help and a timesaver would be a set of links to HOTMAIL, GMAIL, YAHOO MAIL and the like.
