    My website Value Snatcher shopping is a product database which shows relevant products, services (business listing), rate plans, and deals. You can find Products Online - shopping by price, type of good, rating and retailer

    Therefore any individual or business who would like to get their business or products listed in here can do so by adding their link in my website.
    This is the first time I have released this website to public eyes so I would really like to get your feedback on the site. Since this website has just started you might not find too many products or businesses however in a few months there should be many products and businesses listed in the value snatcher database.

    The website is in beta testing mode right now, and this is so that I can implement all the opinions I receive from you'll. Please let me know what needs to be tweaked in the website regarding the look, search function, etc. The products will gradually increase. :)
    Thanks for being a part of the value snatcher team,
    As it is my visitors who can help mold the website into a self standing structure.
    Sincerely,
    Clint Oliveira

    The idea of your site is very nice and useful. I just don't like the design though, it's way too simple. Google is simple too, but the logo made it nice. So, you might want to add more colors....

    I like the way how you put the link to specific product group on the sidebar.

    Make it easier to navigate and it gives us idea on what type of offers you have :)
    No suggestion at the moment but I think you have done a really good job with that website!

    Thank you for your advice. Me and a few people around me feel that the site lacked color and is too simple as well. This makes me think as to what colors to add to the website. I looked at the color wheel and found that the colors that go with my logo are very bright. I am looking for a peaceful or calm look to the site which would be easy on the eyes. If youll can think of some colors please let me know. I would really appreciate it.
    The site is currently in beta and therefore lacks some cutting edge features (except for the tree on the left). I will be adding a lot of matter (in terms of products) in the next week.
    I really appreciate advice I get from all the readers. Thank you very much. I would like to implement all the changes to the site and see how things look.
    Could youll let me know - what colors to add.
    ps. i thought about adding the become a fan code for facebook, digg, twitter etc on the about us, home or marketing solutions page. This would add color (however those colors don't look good on the home page).
    Any advice is much appreciated.

    Pretty cool website, but you should consider not stretching the logo images of other car dealers/products, it just doesnt look good

    Does anyone have experience with this DDOS (SYN FLOOD) attack?
    I try to make changes but for some reason the server is under Denial of Service DDOS (SYN FLOOD) attack. Its a big pain people and we are looking to solve it. I have found some stuff on google to help with this.
    I write this msg to inform my visitors that if the site is down please be considerate as this problem will be solved by today.
    Thank you for you patience

    Good idea. I think its better to make the product list into autosize mode, to avoid the scroll bars..

    I did consider getting rid of the scroll bars, and its not a pain to get rid of the horizontal scroll bars as the width can be controlled. However its almost impossible to remove the vertical scroll bars as the products will increase. The products/folders don't show up right now as there are no products in it. Once we enter more products the folders / categories and subcategories will automatically increase. This makes it impossible to remove the vertical scroll bars.
    Visitors/businesses can always go to my site and add products of their own that can show up in the search. I guess the website will look alot better with more products in it lol.
    Thanks for the updates and I will follow up on every update i see fit. So you can see your ideas in action. :)

    We have now un-stretched / corrected most of the images ... and are now developing a ping function to get rid of any disabled links. I think the ping function will be very helpful in removing links that go down.
    Please let me know if youll find any ugly or stretched images lol.
    Thank you
