Hey. Please can somebody review my new web service:

Click here

I still need a new domain but is the basic idea going to succeed somewhat? Comments welcome. Feel free to join, also. Thanks

I think its all looking brill, really nice and clean layout colors great calm easy on the eye, great job

Only thing id i think the logo needs to be a bit more puncheer it at the moment its rather bland looking dosnet stand out, work on that and i think youve got a cracking look

It looks very good but are you actually going to run this or is it a college project or business portfolio example?

Cos you have to ask why would people use this rather then eBay? (the answer needs to be good). eBay is the market leader and will always be the market leader, and its something that is totally impossible to tap into if you want to make only decent money.

Even if you offered free listings people would still generally opt for eBay cos of the exposure a ticket auction would gain from eBays image.

Good luck.

Thanks for the replies!

I was actually going to try and run it but now that you've pointed that out, it seems like it will become a bit of a challenge. I was aware of the eBay competition which is why I tried to dedicate it to one particular category - tickets. However, I am still no way going to get many users so I may try again from scratch. The only problem is, the auction script alone cost me over $200. Thanks again! It's much appreicated.

Edit: Thanks SB_GEMINI. New logo is under construction

looks nice. but isnt this phpprobid ? its not allowed to remove the copyright below ;-)

miseria · 08-24-2005, 06:52 AM

Oh right, I wasn't aware of that. I guess I should really read the small print first

Before I began the auction site, my Brother wanted me to design him a "Lottery" kind of website which I started.

I wasn't too sure about this however. Can anybody give me an opinion on the idea? Thanks

I <3 the layout.

rustypaulin · 08-24-2005, 09:46 AM

the layout looks really good

noswad · 08-24-2005, 11:25 AM

The lotto site is a good idea. Im sure you will need a license of some sort though. Enquire, im sure it wont cost the earth to get one if youre serious.

Good luck.

miseria · 08-24-2005, 11:49 AM

They do look don't they

def1 · 08-27-2005, 12:09 PM

yea they do and your login menu is stretching the screen

noswad · 08-27-2005, 02:11 PM

And i saw another one looking the same recently.

I dont see the point in them at all.

Every category has about 3 items listed, all with no bids. Just stick to eBay!

GJ · 08-27-2005, 06:47 PM

I like the design but are you allowed to auction the tickets and if so what is your security like?
