    The overall impression is rather positive, the layout is appropriate to the site's content. The logo is also unique, which is great for you. Good lick with making your site popular)

    Color combination of your website very attractive. Logo is also nice. but font of your bid bid count down, and price are not readable. it need some focus to read plz change this first.

    Great Design!, One thing I would change is to relocate the login and email capture above the fold. You always want your call to action (Ex: Sign Up Now!) to be towards the top of the page.

    Look & feel is good. Loading time is okay but some images are loading slowly. Your navigation is user friendly but I can't understand the difference of "Search Auction" & "Create Auction" buttons.

    Well, I suppose that the intention was to enable users create their own auctions as well, no?

    Hi Guys thanks for the comments.. appreciate it..
    i agree some images were huge.. but i zip them down with tinypng ..really cool tool...
    anyways it should be faster now with smaller images and GZIP...
    Create Auction buttons allows registered users to post auctions...

    Hi Peeps ..

    I added some ads within the site.. do you find them too intrusive?

    Awesome design. I like the look of it a lot, the colors are nice. Very easy to navigate which is important on a site like this. Overall good.
