    I beleive you are missing the most important thing of all: "Service"

    I keep trying to visit your site to give you some feed back but your site doesn't load. Did you provide the correct link or is you site down?

    The design is pretty nice and clean. However, I would remove the cartoon image of the person because it makes the layout unprofessional.

    Very slow loading - is this on some home or free server? Maybe consider a better host first, as I would give up after about 5 seconds of waiting.

    I like the design, I would agree get rid of the cartoon character as it doesn't really fit in. Also I would make a link on your forum and directory pages over the black image that says sign up or add a site as otherwise users have to search for the register button.

    Also, you need to seed your forum post to gain more credibility.

    Ok, now that your page finally loaded I can give you feedback.

    1. Yes, the server is absolutely slow, sometimes it even times out and you can't even go through the site without wanting to close the browser and giving up.

    2. On the other hand, your design IS clean/neat and looks original. Who did the design for you? I might want to re-design my forum :)

    3. Some of the links on your footer disapear when you go to cetain pages

    Hi,

    Yes I would drop the cartoon charater also.

    Overall looks great and very very nice job.. I have just bookmarked the site and will be checking back often as it looks to be another great resource site for everyone.

    Hi,

    Thank you for everyone's comments. They will be all taken on board and actions will be made. I think the server that the site is on has been up and down for the last couple of days but seems ok for me now. Hopefully this will be the case if not then i will move the site to another server.

    In answer to Freelancer Auctions:
    I completed myself all the design and coding on the site .

    Cheers,
    Adam

    Cool! just take off the cartoon character coz' it doesn't match the site's layout.

    Goodluck!
