please review my deleting domains site

Hi there,

Pending delete search tool at DropAce to find dropping and expiring domains.

I'd appreciate feedback on my site design and accessibility.
Spent some time with the original theme, the default color scheme when you come to the site.
Now, I'm not sure if the colors are a bit to bright, or playful for such a site. I added an additional color scheme, that is a bit more conservative, (bland?) but wonder if it's more appropriate.

You can switch themes by clicking the "switch style" links in the header , or you can switch by clicking in your browser: View -> Style -> [default|blue]. (this is temporary - will decide which way to go as final theme)

I haven't added all the extra design elements to the blue theme yet, that are in the default theme, i.e. rounded tabs, shaded backgrounds etc. Not sure if I should. Is it so 2006? So Web 2.0?

1. colors. which is preferable?
2. general layout, accessibility?
3. any other feedback/critique appreciated.

What do you think?
thanks

I think so blue theme looks far more better and clean. The default one is not good to the eyes as colours are not matching much.
You can just add a header/logo to give it life
Colours are ok but if you can blend it with other tones of blue then go for it.
No as such other criticism.
Thanks

Hey, not a bad looking site you have managed to design there.

Pos:
-Good use of colours
-Very clean design
-user-friendly navigation
-nice looking navigation

Neg:
-Search box needs a bit of a wipe up, looks a bit dull, maybe ad a nice submit button more like your navigation buttons.
-make the blue header background the background of the body so that it runs throughout the page across the top.#


Thanks
Sean
