Hi Jill,

What I like:
I think that the overall look and feel are good. Good choice of colors for the site.

What I don't like:
The home page seems very lengthy. Perhaps part of it is because your line height spacing seems to be double spaced.

I don't like having that many advertisements on one page.

Overall, it looks like a very good implementation of the 68 Classifieds script.

-Mike

Take out all but 1 "Advertise Here" logos on the right. I would even recommend changing it to "Advertise Here" in small print without the "300x60".

Your header is separated at the top in FireFox, looks good in Internet Explorer.

I noticed in your categories you have 3 different categories for "Natural Horses for sale (video ads, photo and slideshow ads, and text only ads) I
understand your reasoning for this, but you need to think about the user. The user of your site has to click on all 3 categories to browse just 1
category. You may want to look into a better way of doing this.

Your terms of service page is not within your original template.

Otherwise I like the design. Very unique. Good luck.

Thanks so much!
I did make some changes according to your critique, some things though, the client just wants! The category situation is because I only want a video url to be used in certain pricing packages. The only way I knew how to do it was to make categories and assign the packages to the categories.

It will work for now, I hope! Hopefully memberships will come back sometime!

Thanks again! Truly appreciate it!

Hi Mike and thanks, the adverts are for the client...he wants as much ad space as he can get. I did shorten the home page though.

Truly appreciated! Thanks for your input!

Default Looks Good

The color scheme is perfect for the site. Have you considered enlarging the main tab font so it is easier to see, and maybe changing that font color to something lighter? It was a bit difficult to see the tabs when I first saw the site. Very nice job though; the look of the site really matches the theme (natural looking).
