    switching from deep red to orange on my local classifieds site, I think it looks a bit fresher?

    only uploaded 2 regions so far west midlands & south east... and this is my home town > Crawley

    any opinions appreciated, including my triangle logo?

    It looks lovely! However, the box under the search looks a bit out of place with Fire Fox in any case. You may want to have a look at that.

    Very professional and cool looking! The color scheme can be titled as "Yellow magic". I watched it for fifteen minutes..But I could not find any lapses on home page. I suggest not give any second thought and you can proceed with.

    That's a pretty sharp site, might want to add like a search tool on the first page.

    My only opinion:

    Too much text on the front page. Shorter explainations on the links would clean it up and leave more room for colorful graphics. Maybe a map?

    Just a thought.

    Good luck.

    The color yellow stands for devotion. We indians use lot of yellow during offering pujas to indian gods! The yellow (turmeric) is used to maintain glamour of skin (Mostly ladies).

    I think the home page would look better if you cut down on the amount of text in the middle. Perhaps by just highlighting the most relevant information in each section and then providing links to the rest. It would also provide some space between each section for the visitor to breathe.

    You are missing footers in the ABOUT US and the DISCLAIMER pages.

    Nice colour (orange)!

    Nice but when you go into a region the colour scheme completely changes and it feels like a different site.

    Put some orange in other pages also. It looks like completly different pages.
    And also, as much as i can guess it should be something like portal about UK businesses. Design isn't that much important!
    I very much like your navigation in the website. Very simple and easy..

    that's because I am slap bang in the middle of rebuilding it, I have only done half so far :eek:.... and I haven't done the contact/about us/disclaimer pages yet either :eek:

    thanks for your comments, it's as usual much appreciated... seems like orange is an OK colour... I admit to having tried a few.

    Will possibly lower the text on the homepage once the site is finished.

    kudos to those who replied....
