    This is what we have so far
    http://www.costaricaconstructors.com/
    The site will feature construction and real estate companies in Costa Rica.
    I need some ideas on what to put on the right hand side where the image is.
    Any other sort of input will be appreciated!

    Hard to comment as the website has a long way to go!

    - Menu bar is cute with mouseover. But when not in use it looks a bit too big and ugly.
    - Flash banner is pretty big and looks a bit amateurish.
    - The layout is a bit messed up, the two side bars are not evenly positioned below the header.

    - On the right you can put adsense ads, featured costa rican constructors, latest companies to list, latest news..

    Just some constructive feedback, hope you can make some use from it.

    suggested topics for the right hand side: real estate agencies, blogs, listings, real estate news, tips/forums...
    good luck!

    Long ways to go, I agree. Just need to have the basics down before content gets added. Also building on the singular www.costaricaconstructor.com

    I think the design is nice, graphically but there's no content and no pages. When you are done with content and new sites, it'll be good.

    Thanks, we will actually provide a free blog and email service for all the many builders in Costa Rica who don't have a webpresence yet.

    I see a vertical scrollbar in Firefox 1024x768. But I really like the bottons! :D The whole layout looks a bit messed up though, but I guess you're only testing, right? :)

    No, that is the sad part. I am working with a graphic designer who has no experience with web development. You should have seen how it looked a couple of days ago. He will fix whatever needs to be fixed, the buttons on the left I like a lot as well, but seems like you first have to click on the whole thing in order for them to work.
