USD to INR results only two quotes.

I have only implemented 3 providers at this point considering it's a proof of concept and I want to validate the idea before spending more time on it.

About, FAQ, Contact links are not working..

I haven't got round to populating that content as I have only been working on this for around a week - it's a proof of concept.

I am planning on adding a lot more content to the site, including reviews within the next 2 weeks.

No Russia, Ukraine, Belarus in the countries list. Obviously, they have at least western union and moneygram.

I will get those added within a day or two.

If you have any more suggestions or feedback please let me know. This is only a proof of concept and I am very keen on improving it further.

A few minor UI comments.

+ Failing to select an amount to send should raise a flag.

+ Entering a negative amount to send should raise a flag.

+ After viewing a result, if I hit `back` on my browser (say, to compare results for a different transfer amount), it resets the currencies to their defaults (for me, U.S. and Argentina). It would be nicer to remember my selections.

Only one result for US to Mexico? You should look at other companies...

Thanks for the feedback. I am working on adding more providers, if you have any suggestions on companies please let me know.

Thank you very much for your feedback, will get these changes implemented :)
