I've been tinkering with it for far too long. It's done.

I'm looking forward to getting some free marketing advice next week (a perk of opening a new Barclay Business account), and I've signed up to a couple of local networking groups as well as Business Link. This is where the real work starts!

The site is MKClassifieds

It's running the latest version of 68C along with the excellent Templatecodes Sigma template with just a few cosmetic changes. Sure, there are a couple of little tweaks I want to make but I'd really appreciate some feedback from outside my own head.

Also, if you'd like to click Googles +1 button on a couple of pages that'd be really nice of you.

Many thanks,

Michael

Nice example of how to use TC and 68C

1. Color of your menu buttons.
2. Recently Viewed - starts as a blank - best to pre fill it with an image.
3. Perhaps a small graphic for the check or money order in payment providers would a nice touch.

Talk offline if yo like about email marketing and continuous search..

Looks good Michael.

One suggestion that I would have is that in your search results show listings page, It appears that your background image is set for each table cell <td> or table row <tr>, I would suggest that you remove that you set the background to transparent and set the background image set by the class (e.g. featured, highlighted) to the containing div for each listing instead, so you have one continuous smooth background instead of the repeated tile look.

Great job!
