Hi Guys,

Ive started my site for premium domain resales (bit of a side kick)

www.globefrog.com

I would love everyone to give me some feedback. Its far from finished ofcourse but just want some suggestions / ideas before I fill it out any further.

Thanks Champs!

Done in flash - bad idea. I block flash in my browser because I can't stand flashy things - and I know I am not the only one who does that.

It's a business website - drop the flash and go with what you know every viewer can see and will want to see. You don't need the landing page as they turn off more people than they attract.

That is not a critique on your work - just on the method employed. I enabled flash to take a look and it looks good all things considered. If you must use flash, use a browser sniffer to see who is using it and who is not and direct the browser to an appropriate page - that way you don't lose potential sets of eyes on your content.

awsome, thanks mate. I had my doubts about the landing aswell. I feel the home page is dull tho.

I can see me making major overhauls. Thats why I wanted some ideas before I did.

Cheers!

Usually not bad but when you open the site you see dark before your eyes. Maybe you'd better change the colour of it on something more cheerful. There is much free space on the site (I mean on the sides).

I thought the music is very funny for the landing page, didn't dislike it and didn't love it either, but I say it's funny. I bet it's kind of annoying for visiting a second time and third time. So the music = bad for business website. In my opinion only.

You design is clear and informative but not attractive. If you want it to stay that way, it's fine, but it can be done better.

Everything look good in firefox, and I haven't try it in ie7.

actual page all redesigned hopefully for the best. Flash intro and music to disappear shortly

Ok guys, new site all done. Any feedback would be great. (-comments on flash

I don't like any of it. Flash is a terrible idea imho. Also the site itself has numerous problems with tables and text. It's boring looking as well.

thanks mate, any suggestions? :d
