    Sorry have been very much occupied, I think there is certainly an improvement but it isn't what I think something that can convert visitors into users.

    My advice would be to start getting together a plan before you use all of your energy and time in development. How about creating a wireframe for your home page. Once you start on the wireframe you can get all the elements of the home page planed and then go about the design and finally development, once the wireframes are finalised.

    I use the evolus pencil project http://tinyurl.com/2d5cqgq for wireframes. You can start by converting the wireframes into PNG & post them here for more advice.

    I will give more advice tomorrow as I am having some appointments tonight.

    Just remember, plan and prepare well.

    Failing to plan is planning to fail and the same is failing to prepare is preparing to fail.

    How are you doing mate? I can see you have been busy, I think if you are keen to get the site functional, then its good to code the whole thing and then design &build the user interface with good CSS!

    Hi
    yes been busy, and am doing as you suggested, building all the functionality then it will be a matter of placing a design on top of the functionality....so over the next few days there will be an increase in the functionality available.
    Then if need be, I shall pay someone to come up with a nice design if its the difference between a great site and a good site.

    Sounds good, I wish you all the luck! Feel free to ask any questions if you need to.

    I don't want to go off topic but perhaps you can help me. I am trying to post new threads and it doesn't allow me to. I am registered for more then 14 days, plus I have been posting regularly. I wanted to start a contest and I simply can't start a thread. Also, what is iTrader, I want to make sure the designers who enter my contests have full confidence or a payment guarantee on wining.

    Thanks,
    Muz

    sure, yuo have to post a certain amount of responses before you can start your own thread, I am sure its in the terms and conditions somewhere. Itrader is a rating system where once someone has had dealings with someone else, they can give them a positive or negative itrader which makes them more trustworthy basically. Itrader is only used when a transaction has taken place, e.g. buy service/sell etc.

    to get to the itrader for someone, click on their username, then click "view profile > then click the "feedback" tab and this is where you can submit feedback for user

    I do like it... just needs a few more tweaks when it comes to the fonts. Maybe a little smoother.

    From a potential customers perspective, it looks a bit cheap for high priced items you feature. The Layout is ok and the colours to the top caught my eyes immediately. May need to consider changing the font. The concept is great though, may even use it myself!

    Looks like you have been busy.
    Try using Cufon to render text, you can google cufon and check some examples for it.

    I wouldn't worry about appearance and get the complete function in place first.

    Cheers
