Awesome! Just wondering, but is Treeviews for websites only? I keep hoping to see Mac/iPhone/iPad apps in it.

Hey Paul! We definitely accept iOS application, we just hadn't received any from when we solicited submissions and recorded the episode. We'll keep our eye out for a good app to review for Episode 5. Have one to submit? :)

@Paul - The episode before this one reviewed a simple iOS recipe app.

Treeviews is one of the most useful parts of the website. I would love to see more of these.

Thanks for the review on my website! It was very informative and had a lot of really great points. Looks like I've got some work to do.

Just a couple of things maybe I can clarify and you can give me your thoughts:

  1. The images on hover; it's not that customers are looking for their machine they already own, it's for customers looking to buy a machine and the images are there so they can see what they look like. Agreed however that I can add an icon or something indicating that hovering does something. Or do you think it's still best just to show the images straight away?

  2. The contact drop down; would it be safe to assume that if someone needs to contact for, say, a service call they'd look only under the service section? I've got a link to the service form in the service section, I just added it to the contact drop down for the sake of having it in multiple places. If you think multiple places is best, I can definitely create a dedicated contact page with different areas. If it's okay in one area, I can rework it so that instead of contact, it's just an order supplies link because I can certainly find a place for the other two.

  3. Finally, the CAPTCHA bit; that's reCAPTCHA provided by Google, and I agree'd 100% with what you said. I'm just uncertain about how to go about it showing an inline error. Guess I'll have to dive down into the API a bit more and see if it's actually possible.
