    This website has some sophisticated search mechanism... Although the site is self-explanatory, writing a short paragraph would make the site more personal, rather than appearing as if we are dealing with an impersonal website. Just my two-cents worth, though... wonder what others feel.

    Simple, yet professional and elegant. I've always liked these kind of websites. But why does the logo looks blurry like here hireslocal.com/company/about/ than its original aspect from hireslocal.com?

    It's a very professional looking site, the soft colors make it look clean and serious.
    And speaking of speed, very fast loading site, all sections.
    But I found a small problem, the Employer section (Employers) Contact Us button sends;
    Page not found (404) /contactus/ ... the address should be /contact/
    We leave a like on facebook, good site deserves it

    I'm impressed with this site. It looks simple and pretty elegant too. Perhaps you could space it our vertically a touch more so it fills all of the average screen resolution. Other than that I think users can easily find where they are going on your site.

    The site looks simple and at the same time, professional. In terms of design and usability I think its perfect.

    A few things which need some attention according to me are,

    1) I see that you have used 2 logo's, i.e. hireslocal-big.jpg and hireslocal.png. The smaller logo, hireslocal.png looks blurry and could be made sharper.
    2) Seems like a lot of blank space has been left on the contact us page, you could reduce it by increasing the width of the forms.

    Just wanted to say thinks to everyone so far for commenting.

    @vinith98 - I understand that the logo's are blurry - I'm going to do a redesign soon. The contact us page will have more information on it soon been busy working on other things.

    @Moon Raja - Thanks for the comments :) I hope it helps others find success, and I hope this site helps me find my own too.

    The site looks great, I would put some things into the right sidebar, that much white kinda hurts my eye, something like: Latest Jobs, or News like: Top paying jobs in 2012, you get the idea.

    Also like it was said, the only thing about the layout/design of the website that needs a fix is that blurry logo, but I see that you already know about that :)

    All in all a good website, hope you do great.

    Cheers,
    Stephen

    I am not sure what i think of the upside down i, its funky, but its upside down. I like funky, but i don't like being upside down. if you know what 'i' mean. It feels like a thumbs down. Maybe that's just me though.

    Overall i love the site and navigation. it follows KISS method (Keep it Simple, and Stupid easy). The site feels good to use and its clean. I would just play around with the logo and maybe get a favicon.

    Hi FCM,
    Your site is good. But I think you can add some alert message if user hit's the "search jobs" without entering any text in 'What' or 'Where' boxes.

    Hopping that you do the same for alerting users:)
    Nice Job!
