Hi Zannuke,

How old is your site? To me it seems pretty well established.
My first thought was, "It's done", i.e. it's a professional site that has already gone through the toothing stage.
This is good!

I clicked to the business section and a huge obtrusive ad popped up in front of my eyes. This offended me and I immediately navigated away.
I despise when a site is over monetized, i.e. ads everywhere but I guess this is normal for a free classifieds site.

Other than that, you have plenty of ads up there, so I guess things are going well for you, well done.
I can't say I saw anything new or different in your site, it's just another classifieds site.
But it's a nice site and I wish you all the best.

I'm liking this.

Good, professional looking template, and lots of content.
That's what a good website needs, content content content.
And you've obviously got that down. :P

Well, I would have to say great job!

This website is really nice but it needs some background that will link all the page together!

Thanks!

I know you need a lot of content for this site but its very confusing. Try to look at other content-heavy sites, they seem a lot less busy and cleaner: (http://www.nytimes.com/)

I would go for a white background where possible and use subtle differences in colour/text size to organise your content visually for the user.

Hello -

Thanks for posting your site for review.

Biggest problem is there is no compelling reason to advertise there. You need to convince prospects why there ad will get seen, and their links clicked upon.
Your logo -- silhouettes of women -- does not make sense with what you are offering. It looks more like a logo for a dating site. But, I don't see much about dating there, instead it looks more like a site with many ads about website development.
The large banner at top looks a bit distorted, and detracts from the first impression of the site. I would use that area, instead, to build a case for your services -- in other words, advertise your own site there... convince me to spend the time and money to place an ad there.
Why is the search box at the bottom of the page? Based on user needs, I would move it way up to the top.

So... you've got a lot of ads there, but your site needs some more work in terms of persuading someone to do business with you, ease of use, and graphic identity.

Best of luck and success!

Hello,
I may not be a top designer but I think you site looks great. I think you need to give someone a reason to pay for advertising and I wouldn't put the banner of the girls on the top of the page. Other than that looks great, very clean.

**reyres** · 12-07-2007, 10:19 PM

you have a lot of advertisements. this may discourage people because they wont be sure which is an advertisement and what is a link on your site.

**zannuke** · 02-16-2008, 04:36 PM

Thnks for your opinion

The adbright ads were very distracting. Everywhere my mouse went...bling, popup ad.

**zannuke** · 03-04-2010, 01:23 AM

We have updated our website.

I think your site looks good, to me it looks pro, nice layout and color scheme, so i think you are on the right track, good job on it.

^ A pop up ad offended you? How?

The look is user friendly but there is nothing really special about your site just classifieds try adding more webmaster stuff.
