Review my Auction Page Generator

    All you have to do is insert your ebay ID and it will make a page for you getting your ebay listings and displaying them. I've added ebay affiliate links to monetise it using their flexible destination tool.

    (All links to ebay from here are affiliate links. You have been warned ;))
    http://www.nearlyblue.com/auctionpage/


    Possible improvements I've thought about:
    -Move to it's own domain
    -Make prettier URLs (ebayusername.nearlyblue.com/ for auctions and ebayusername.nearlyblue.com/ebaystoreid for stores)
    -Add some tools (misspelling search? etc) to the site
    -General fixing of the explaination texts, etc.

    Can anyone add anything else? :)

    I think the site looks a bit plain (it's all HTML, there are no graphics) but it is good for seo ;)

    What I would do is try to add some more color to your layout.. Maybe the navigation bar can be a light red instead of a grey

    Thanks, I'll try to add a slight blue tinge to match with the domain: Nearlyblue.com :)
    Edit: By the way, this site has next to none plain html, most of it is based on a 60kb php script :p

    True, blue works better :) The site is great for SEO (so I guess that's the on top of the list over design).

    Ever considered adding some graphics or even a header design and bring up the appeal a bit?:cool:

    My main problem is lack of artistic ability, I'm a coder not a graphics designer. I am using a free template I liked, and that's it so far.. :p I'll try to add some graphics though. Thanks for the help.

    I think the first thing you should do is move it to another domain.

    Updates:
    -I've moved it to the root directory (nearlyblue.com)
    -I've added a slight blue tinge to the menu and the rightmost part.

    Any other ideas?

    I like the hover over on side but needs more color or life.

    What kinds of color and where? Any ideas?

    Thank you. What do you think about the site itself?

    Thank you very much. Can someone comment on the script itself? Ease of use/Any bugs(?)/Possible improvements?
