    I been here for quite awhile and thought of having also a site review. :)

    OZfreeonline.com has been set up by a large group of Australian web designers who believe more on the internet should be FREE.
    We've just started the site and wanted some feedbacks/suggestions on how we can improve the site

    I like the look on your home page. The auction page looks good as well and fits in with the home page style. The other catagories, although they look good, just don't seem to fit in. If it was my site I think I'd keep all the catagories in the same style as the auction one.


    Otherwise, a nice looking site.
    Good Luck.

    The header is way too big for my liking. Waste of precious space IMO.

    Yococs,

    Firstly, at your car's page when i select a vehicle from the dropdown menu, there's a small menu apearing underneath it that serves no purpose. I think that's an error/bug on that page.

    Secondly, page loading time is slow. For 56K it takes 67.54 seconds. I'll reconsider that big banner and optimise all images.
    That's my 2 cent

    I think it's a good site but yes a bit slow loading.

    On the car pages again (i didn't check other sections) you should make the link to detail page the whole row of the dynamic table. I'm sure most new users would never find that tiny button at the end.

    Looks like you have heaps of content ...good luck

    With totally different styles for the different sections it feels like a couple of different sites forced together. The headings are way to large and each sections heading should resemble all other sections.

    Exactly my first thought, a waste of real estate.

    Yup, the header may be a little big, but it does look good. What script did you use for your ads? I like it...is it available somewhere?
