Can I get some input on my new site design?

Okay I worked for a good 15 hours getting this design I made up and running. Any opinions?

I really like the simplicity of the home page. the most important and first thing the visitors see's. Great job

 

Thanks! I really tried for it

 

nice clean work

 

Thanks any opinions on the content?

 

From a design standpoint, you're off to a good start. You've chosen a classic, proper color combination and combined it with a simple, smooth interface that's easy to browse. However, I do have a few little nitpick suggestions.

On the front page:

• The rounded corners on your search box, and it's blue container, are very choppy and blurry. I'd take the time to re-do those.
• Add left padding to your text input field.
• In your three information boxes below the search bar, the top inner shadow seems a bit too strong which makes it hard to discern the shadow from the box's edge, which give it a blurry, unfinished look. I would lighten up the shadow by reducing it's opacity.

On the search results:

• You should display the number of matches found.
• Ideally, the search box should retain whatever it is I searched for in case I want to change a keyword in my search or refine it.
• A page listing would be nice (e.g., page 1 of 30)

On the pricing page:

• Black text on a dark blue background makes it very hard to read.
• The left column, with the seller's logo, could use a little padding so the images don't hug the side of the table.
• In my opinion, the 'buy now' buttons should not be on a colored background. A round button on a square background looks awkward.
• You're missing the dollar sign ($) on the "list price" in the top-left information.
• The search button's rollover image differs from the normal image. When you roll-over, the button's size changes (left edge and bottom right corner)
• I'd try to add a little space between each result to make it easier to scan the columns.

That's all I could spot for now. Overall, you're off to a great start! Just keep tweaking and upgrading and you'll end up with something pretty damned nice!

 

That looks a lot like something I made for a competition once.
