To be honest, the yellow-green color scheme is wreaking havoc on my eyes. Other than that, the only thing I think could be made better is the header area. There's a lot of blank space up there, and the logo seems a bit boring to me. The overall layout of the content is great. Congrats on the offer to sell so soon.

The color theme is really too bright, it doesn't quite hurt my eyes but almost. You really should consider changing that.

Your header image is a bit strange, usually a header image has more width. The fact that you say right on the heading what the site is about is very good. But perhaps you should still add one sentence more to describe the site? Also, I don't quite know if I like the word "Universal" in you heading, wouldn't word "Global" be better?

There are just dozens of different categories on the front page and some of them don't a have a singe ad. Why not only show the categories that do have ads? It could also help navigation if the categories said how many ads they contain, like "Services-Miscellaneous (10 ads)". Same goes for the global ads menu on the right, why to list all these numerous locations when they don't have a single ad in them? Why not only show the ones that do have ads?

The navigation is a bit confusing. Say I clicked on "Hong Kong" from the right menu. The fact that I'm now browsing ads of Hong Kong isn't very clearly stated on the website.

Also, when your website's logo on the header is a link people assume that it leads to the front page. But on your website, it leads people to see ads specific about London.

In my opinion the site needs a new color theme, some tweaks to the navigation and new graphical look. At the moment there really are no graphics, only the small header image. Why not hire an affordable designer to design new graphics? For example, I like the fact that you compare your site to a newspaper in your header image, such newspaper theme could make a good overall style to your site.

I don't like your color scheme (green/yellow).
You should try other color combination, one that is too feminine, too bright, or too odd.
Also, your page is too large and I have to scroll to the right to see the rest of the page.
In general, you want to keep the page width under 800 or make it scalable.

This color combination would be Ok for some other sites, but I think it doesn't look good here because there is lot's of text. I.e., if you really need to list all the subcategories on the front page, you need to chose soft calm colors. You may also think about hiding some subcategories and reveal them only when they are clicked upon, especially it refers to cities.

I think the green background of the tables is a little to close the the general background color. It just gets lost to me. If you could contrast the colors more I think it would stand out better. {hate to be another one on the color bandwagon here, but I needed to be honest.}

I think the header's a little wide and tall. If the only monetization for this site is the AdSense, then I'd leave it as it is. Otherwise, it might be nice if the header wasn't quite so tall.

That's my 2 Cents! Thanks and good luck.

Hi,
I have tried deliberately to make it almost same as gumtree.com.
I know it is not good to make just like another site but for time being we would leave the color scheme as it is and change it after the site get going.
Thanks
