    This site automatically updates deals from various sites online (all Amazon right now, but adding new ones soon). It finds the deals on various forums, then gets the details from Amazon. What do you guys think?

    The design and layout looks ok but I just wonder how are you going to get the traffic. Most people would actually go direct to amazon site if they want to look for something.

    Looks rather simple and usually sites with big deals have some sort of eye catching graphical design. I think if you add a graphical design it will do wonders for your website.

    If someone wants to redesign it for me, I'd pay.

    Like AlbertMARKET mentioned, it does look rather basic. A graphical design would probably be better for your type of service.

    There is too much white on the page you should change the background color
    and get a professional logo.

    Little too much red for me - even the links are red :( --- I like my links blue tbh...

    Lose the google, u are making money from any click on the page - keep them clicking better profits. A little too simple for my taste for a shopping site.

    Change the "On the right is a list of great deals. This list updates all the time. That's it. " to something a little more mature. Like: Our staff works endlessly to find the very best deals available RIGHT NOW. To the right, you will see our constantly updated BEST finds. Bookmark this page (add a link to bookmark here) as the deals change as often as hourly!" ----- something that gets me a little excited and wanting to bookmark :)

    If possible, I would maybe sort by 'found' timeline or break out into categories of Best Deals Found <DATE> ...

    I would also hide the links??

    If the freebie site is yours, I would throw in some specific freebie links into the mix and lose the stuff on the left hand side.

    Simple design and layout,it doesnt looks professional.There is too much white on the page and you should make them colorful and will be cool if you add graphics to them.But i dont know how you are going to make traffic to your site since amazon,ebay ..,etc are there for shopping purpose.Good luck!Thanks.

    The site doesn't look very professional as is. A design would go a long way.

    You need a new professional logo, and a new design. The header should look more visible, you can add background to it.

    Yea, you need a better layout. This one is way too simple, and it lacks a lot of needed features.

    Agreed with everyone that a new design is needed. I'm a programmer, not a designer. Do any of these look good? http://www.oswd.org/
