trq Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 The first annoyance I have is if your scroll down and click on 'Wyoming' for instance, you are taken back to the top of the page and have to scroll down to Wyoming again to put your post code in.

fortnox007 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 It gives me the feeling of a sedoparking website (the ones that register domains to sell with profit), Meaning if I would accidentally visit your site I would be gone pretty fast. So what do i suggest to improve this. - make a drop down menu with the states, or some interactive fancy state map. Why? because the way the links are displayed looks cheap, and slightly chaotic. - I do like the horizontal menu. Just give it some extra with a a:hover/a:active over effect (just css) - remove the underline from links and give them a nice look other than default blue. - I would put the text "...sell locally.." align left. and flip the photo horizontaly unless your focusing on the Hebrew language. nice grey text btw. - I would also add something to let them get started right away. a small banner next to the scrolldown menu. Something like : "ready to sell your books?... what are you waiting for" (info: choose your state to get started) in a nutshell your front page should be the eye catcher, text doesn't sell sex, images and and a nice eyecatcher do Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/211979-i-have-finally-completed-my-site-i-need-your-advice-now/#findComment-1105118 Share on other sites More sharing options...
