    i like the layout, but

    - the images are great but the arrows aren't, you are not coming from the top so the arrows should be straight from left to right instead of from down then curve to the right. I hope that make sense

    - i think at the bottom you also want to have an "end" to your piece of paper background, so that it doesn't give the continuous drag on feel. You have it for the Public Messages section because it has less content, try and leave a bit of space after the sheet of paper for the Home and Contact section as well

    - the send button should also be aligned for consistency and organized sake

    just my 2 cent hope that helps :)

    Quite neat design, I agree with PM with the arrows, bottom and the button. I'd add that with a design that looks this good, why you are using a standard button for the form sending? Sure, accessibility-wise it's a good thing but if you want to make your site very accessible, this isn't really the way.

    I think the header image could use some text, now it wasn't crystal clear to me what the "you write the email", "tell us when to send it" thing ment. Why not add something like: "Using this service is this easy:" over it? You might even want to go something like "Using this is as easy as 1-2-3" and label the three steps with numbers 1, 2 and 3.

    The only thing that really bothers me are those banner ads. Why not create a solid website first, and then think about making money with it?

    I like it. I have seen plenty of these sites come through here, but I think I like yours the best so far. Also. great domain name, it actually says exactly what it does. Great.

    I made some of the suggested changes such as changing the arrows, aligning and changing the Send button and adding a brief explanation. Would you guys care to recommend? Or would anybody looking at my site for the first time care to throw their two cents into the mix?

    Thanks - Mike

    Thanks! Did you actually try out the service? I had to make a quick fix to the emails that were being sent out. I hope they don't get sent to peoples spam box right away!

    As everyone else said, the layout is really nice! I liked the way how the yellow color page was sticked to the paper Lol It's really cool. I tried that service for tomorrow. Let's see if I would receive a mail .

    Please do let me know if you do or do not get your e-mail. It should come through just fine so long as you confirm your email address.

    I've tried to warn users at every possible corner to make sure and check your spam box and add us to your trusted contacts list.

    Thanks for the comments!

    Keep them coming!

    -Mike

    awsome but adsense really wont work with sites like this cause
    1.they post relavant ads meaning basically the same service
    2. Why should anyone else bother with a differnt Ad(which most ppl dont click)for the same service?

    But go for it might make some cash
