    Hi everyone,

    Can you please look at http://www.bassabids.com/ and let me know what you think.

    I am especially interested in comments about usability.

    Also feel free to use the site as we are giving away an ipod shuffle every week to get people to beta test it for us.

    Thanks in advance....

    - I really like the top part of the design :) (the logo and gradient use in the login area)
    - for your links below that, I would make the font a step smaller
    - Great banner below the links! (I like integrated text in the header.. not graphic so that it's better for SEO)

    Thanks for the advice. I have made the menu font slightly smaller as you suggested.
    As for the design I had that done at SP.

    This is just a very nice design :)
    Myself, I'ld change the menu still a bit, as currently it are "just text links"; i'ld say add a small hover color or so ;) (=> CSS).

    Further just a very small practical tip: At this moment you only have 5 auctions, but when you have like 145, this amount won't fit anymore in the black piece of the background. Maybe you already had a solution for it; but just to let you know ;)

    Further, about usability, it seems very userfriendly, what is absolutely positive. I would suggest to make a forgot pass- feature maybe? :)
    Most people don't need that, but myself by example I'm the kind of guy to forget passwords sometimes .. lol

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Hover colour will be done on next update.

    If I had 145 auctions running, I would setup pagination, but would end up redesigning the layout anyway so people could find what they are looking for faster.

    I forgot all about the "forgot password" feature, should have that done soon.
