After 3 days hard-work of making a site to help domainers, I finally have something to show

cixxy · Sep 11, 2018

I always said here I'll do something with these domain names and develop them. So I got off my lazy ass and did something about it.

Here's the deal: I have my main portfolio listed in Undeveloped, as well as some of my names posted up separately in BrandBucket and Namerific.... Now wait a sec, does that statement seem a bit odd to you?

Well it did to me. I wanted a visually appealing portfolio of my best domains that I can manage myself, without a strict approval process getting in the way. And why not help others post their own too?

Also for names that I love which won't make it to those branding marketplaces e.g. Jokes.wtf , I want to make a great logo for them that they deserve and showcase it on my portfolio.

Without further ado the site is: http://namifieds.com

You can read more about my rationale on the Readme: https://namifieds.com/readme/

I would appreciate some feedback to the website, and if you decide to use it that's awesome too.
Thank you

One of my main questions is if the filter system is good enough?
Currently when you scroll down and load more from the infinite scroll, the order system won't take new posts into account. So you have to click on a filter to sort it again after new posts load.
TODO: Add filters for mobile and improve the mobile friendliness.
TODO: Social media one-click register.
TODO: When PMing someone via link, their names need to be on the TO: mail automatically.

Really nice design!

I don't understand the purpose of the site. Is it to replace all the other domain name marketplaces, and if so what will be the commission?

If there's no commission, then how will you make money to support the additional server requirements that grow over time, customer service, etc.?

How will the transactions be processed? Will you be including escrow within the process such that https://namefol.io takes the payment, and then the seller transfers the domain name to the buyer, before being paid?

One small nit on the readme page, for the graphic in the "No Extension Limit" section you committed the original sin (including .com on the end!).

I dig it, nice job, far better than my portfolio sites i am building, I can't design a stick man though, LOL. I like it!!

cixxy · Sep 12, 2018

Thanks everyone for appreciating!

I changed removed the author slug so from namefol.io/p/cixxy to namefol.io/cixxy

It's great but there's one problem... if there's a page already called Readme and you register as an user called readme, your portfolio page will go to that readme page instead. Anyone technical to know about this? It's wordpress php.

Love the look.layout loads fast...easy on the eye!!!

Only thing that I would change..."Most Pricey" to something less blunt , something like "Premium"...

Done, thanks for the suggestion.

1. Recent posts on right sidebar https://namefol.io/readme/ should say New Domains
2. Left sidebar readme should be Read Me

Done thanks for noticing. I kinda prefer it being Readme though. All those readme.txt 's you know.

Thanks and great questions mate.

If the server / maintenance costs grow too much I can try to put some minimal ads in a clever way or ask a premium to add names in the featured domains which will be a small strip at the top of the homepage. Probably will take a long time for it to gain that much traffic though.

Currently it just uses a message system to buy it now, so you can organise the buying/selling it in your end, or redirect them to your Undeveloped, sedo parking etc.

The purpose of the site is highlighted in the Readme, hopefully it's enough of a reason. Also to gain more exposure for your domains, share them and vote likes / comment on the logo / domain names like a portfolio website: Behance (should add this point).

You have great eyes to notice that sin haha It was a mockup generated by LogoJoy so I wasn't responsible for the typo :p Just fixed it via photoshop.

Can you "reserve" that name (second account).

Love the improvements!

Yeah I got around it by a similar solution, installed a plugin to restrict usernames and reserve the ones that are meant for pages ^_^

Thanks for testing the site and posting your logos.

I'll be trying more things to improve the site overall then I can promote it better via SEO or other things like offering free logo design services (via logojoy) for those that join and use the site.

Top priority right now is to make a better filter system and fix the messaging buy it now links.

Your site is looking great! Very impressive.Really like logo's. You do them yourself?
Favicon is cool too

Cheers for the kind words

I did Sexy/cat , Jokes/wtf , Block/mx , Exchange/bz and Agencies/top

Will be offering a free service for quick logo designs using logojoy when I have a bit of time to kill.

nameval.com is available. I am not a domainer though. Just saying.

Furquan · Sep 18, 2018

Thats Amazing work, You did all things right, My suggestion is to add alone page for every name, It will give you ability to redirect all the name to their own landing page.

cixxy · Sep 21, 2018

Changes:
- fixed filter system so now it will sort by all items instead of those that are visible.
- fixed message system
- filled the background gaps on darker coloured logos.

The site is nearly finished with only minor bugs left. So I've started a limited time promotion where I'll be designing logos for free.

Thanks. There are lone pages, you just have to click the title of the popup. maybe it's not very clear though right now!

Nah they got some charm to them! KTZ.CA looks great after I fixed the background on it. I think CyberDragon can be more techy rather than fantasy looking though since Cyber means tech

Thanks for the constructive critique!
Yes Gold on a black background always did catch me eye, thanks for doing that!
Good point about Cyber..since I am hoping to sell it to a "security" tech company..might have to figure out a redesign!

Keep up the great work on the site!
