    I have lunched a new website, www.iconspedia.com where you can easily find free icons from all categories, all in PNG format.

    Please tell me your suggestions and opinions concerning concept, design, functionality and seo.

    Thanks,

    Hello Crizatu.

    I had a chance to go over your website today.

    My Thoughts

    Domain Name
    I like the domain name because it tells you what the site is about right away.

    Logo
    Very nice logo. The only thing I could recommend here is place a tag line that says something like: 'Your Source for Free Icons' or 'Free Web 2.0 Icon Source'

    Template
    Very nice design. I tried it out in 3 different browsers and over all it looked well. I did find problems with Internet Explorer. The logo area loses its transparency and the navigation links on the left don't collapse properly. See image below:

    Contact & Submit Page
    I would recommend captcha on these two pages for security purposes.

    Conclusion
    Overall... a very impressive website! Thumbs up for all your work.

    This review was done using 3 web browsers (FireFox 2.0.0.9, Internet Explorer 6.02 & Opera 9.24) on Windows XP SP2.

    I do hope this was helpful.
    Respectfully,
    Lhlalyam

    Thanks for your great review.

    Hello again Crizatu.

    I had a chance to look at your site again but this time in Internet Explorer 7. As you had mentioned, things do look well in this version but it still looks off in 6.2

    I would still recommend that you add some captcha where needed just for security purposes.

    Question: Did you design the icons yourself?

    My first impression of the site was that it is beautifully designed. I like the colours very much, and also your logo ( the pink and blue go very well with the black background ).

    I like your menu system as well. Was that made with Mootools ??

    I was actually looking for an icon site a few days ago. Glad I found this post, as I have bookmarked your site now.

    Keep up the excellent work.

    Alex

    i like the template, but you could make the left menu a little more distinct..perhapses a "light black".
    I really like the design, the icons(content i mean) and the presentation.

    Very very nice :)

    Nice site. Nice idea...all around, I give it a 9.5. I like the whole idea and look of it.
    You should be able to build a decent email list to show off your latest creations.
