Website Review and Suggestions

**xmarcovinzx** · 10-26-2008, 07:35 AM

Hi everyone.
I'm new here and I hope to get some reviews and suggestions about this project that took months for me and my bestfriend to realize.

The description of the website is WAY more complete and clear on our homepage, but this is the short concept: a person notice someone around, probably he/she would like to talk with him/her but somehow lose the chance. OR, a person gets help by a stranger, he/she wants to reward him/her but they lose sight.

This is where our website comes in: A system of ads to trace someone we lost around.

I came up with the concept and made all the graphic interface, while my friend went with all the coding and programming. The ads system and the private messaging system were though to get done, and we can say that this is still the Beta version, but we tried it out pretty hard.

I hope the FAQ will help with some doubts you could have, but still, I hope to get feedback

P.s. If you guys would help with "sharing" this website, will be a great help, being a website of ads and research, the more we are, the more will work!

Regards,
Marco and Emiliano

Hello,
This site looks nice but perhaps a little plain? Could you have the search form on the front page to make the page look a little more interesting.
Also I am not sure what the site is for - is it for finding lost relatives and friends?

Thank you

David

Hi nice design but it is just a bit bland and not enough content you also need some more info on what the site does etc

thanks

The design looks simple to me, and has a limited info's, I think that you should focus on the right color scheme, and a little adjustment on the design, but the rest are really nice!

@ Wildchief: thanks for your suggestion, I will surely talk about placing the search bar in the homepage with my friend!

About the function and the concept, I basically had the idea when one day I've heard about a guy who saw a girl in the subway, lost her at a stop, while he wanted to know who she was.. and he created a website to trace her, until he finally found her. Well, he was a programmer, but we want to give anyone the chance to trace again a person. Of course, if the interested person read the ad, none is forced to answer, or to be "found", one can just leave it unanswered... that's a matter of rights and privacy... but it's good to give it a try!

@ theinternet1: Thanks man, I will try to develope a bit more the design, we of course cared about the functionality at the beginning, probably it's time to get the feeling right!

@johnlloyd: Thanks for your opinions, as I said I'll try to fix up the look a bit

p.s. we updated out banner and the little banner for the menu.

Important: do you guys using Google Chrome see something funny? Cause this website has been optimized for Firefox and Explorer, but if with Chrome has something wrong, I guess there will be trouble also with Opera and Safari.
Thanksfor your time!
