Hi,

I would appreciate new eyes to provide feedback on my site. Thanks in advance.

The domain is 3gno1.com

Much of the text is very small but I like the overall layout. The logo is really nifty, simple and effective. However, the red text under the logo is a bit hard to read, in part because of the font size and because of the subtle gray lines in the background, which I like.

A few other thoughts.

I think you use too much red which I find visually distracting. Red is a real attention-getter color but you don't want a visitors attention to be scattered, imho. Maybe the listings of all the mobile phones on right right can be made black. Keep the border red though.

I'm not sure about the scrolling ads, think I'd prefer to see them simply change from one to another. I know the scrolling stops when you put your mouse cursor over the ad, but sometimes when it stops you get half each of two ads. It feels like I'm playing an online game and that's not what I want to do when I'm shopping for a mobile phone.

I'd put a soft return so your phone # is on it's own line. I'm assuming it's a toll free # and, if so, you may wish to point that out.

Overall impression is good - the site looks attractive and well laid out. I like the colour scheme. All the links I tried worked OK.

Only one small criticism; all the pages I looked at were too long for the page content and some were massively too long. i.e. you can tell from the scrollbar position that there is more, but when you scroll down nothing is there. I would shorten the pages to fit the content. If you are intending to add more to a page later there is no need to leave open space.

Nice site, good luck with it.

Hi Zaphod, I am not a fan of red but I noticed others mention it as well. It is such a fine site. The red detracts from the experience for me. I would try several colors and see what might work better on the fonts.

I noticed this. "16 active viewers on line now."

The html script doesn't show any reference point from which that number is being pulled. How are you doing that? Would love to know.

DonkeyMan, perceptive as always, has already caught the page length issues.

Good luck with the site, Dave

I don't normally visit this forum, but thought I would take a look at your site. I agree with what has been said here, but thought I might add one more suggestion. Replace the red font with one matching the blue on the outside of the letters in your logo. Think that will look very nice. Site is very well done.

Personally, I still like the red[;)]
