    THANK YOU for taking a moment to critique my website. I have asked some friends and family so far, but could use some other opinions. People have picked out my typos and inconsistancies...but I could use some fresh eyes to check it out. It has been live for just a few hours so far. Thanks again!

    Hi may be I can suggest you to put javascripts as external files.
    And also if possible to call javascripts before </body> tag.(end of body tag)
    This will reduce page download time.
    The code will be clear.
    Keep up the good work.

    I've spotted a few things that you should work on. This will sound overtly critical, but I'm just trying to help you out. :D
    • The color scheme is all over the place. Solid red (FF0000) is a bad color to use; it's simply too strong. I suggest you take a look at Colour Lovers for good color schemes.
    • The header/banner needs some work. It's suitable, but it doesn't inspire confidence or professionalism.
    • The columns work, but the text really should be left-aligned. It's very hard to browse and scan centered text.
    • You should really get a domain-based e-mail address (e.g., ) rather than use a Yahoo-based address. Again, this is for professionalism. If you want to use Yahoo mail, simply set the domain email as a forward.
    • The About page's font size is inconsistent with the rest of the site and really should include an FAQ for people who aren't sure how the process works.
    • Contact buttons should never directly link to a mailto. Instead, create a page containing said contact info. You can include a mailto on that page though since people expect it there.

    maybe you could introduce something where you had a section which showcased your best/premium domain names and a few statistics about them. or something where you cud say buy 3 get 1 free?

    Opens up new tabs in firefox :/ although it should use the same tab and load on the current page.

    That is fixed...great call. Also, I inserted a page for monthly specials...The first one is a steal.

    Changed colors a bit too and a few minor layout glitches.
