[thepurplecow]

I've recently made this site using 'leftover' code from biospherical.net, the old site which sold the CountryOnSale script.

I'd like some reviews/comments on the site of poss.
What's good?
What's bad?
What could I improve?
etc, etc.

Thanks!

Its a nice enough website, clean and simple enough. But $9150 for an advertising spot? Im sorry but are you having a laugh.

It's a well functioning site that could look a bit more "driven" and is missing the business concept behind it. Certainly, you're selling ad space, but with what premise? There's something missing for the audience and the advertiser alike. Why would i go to the site as a user? What's my benefit? Is there any other information than just an advert?
For the advertiser; why would i spend several thousand $ if i can't calculate my ROI? Traffic, benefit, etc.
The idea is neat, but it's no applicable to the business advertising world it would make a much better project for a board game similar to Monopoly.

Very much like the colors you have chosen for your website.
I have some comments about the web design.

I would suggest organizing your main content more, by using dividers or borders. for example, you could use a vertical divider between the left content and right content. This vertical divider could be a dot that repeats itself in the background or anything else you might like.

It is personal choice, but I would put all text within light-color border.

Lastly, there is a slight problem with the header which contains your logo, and top navigation menu. As if they were modified in photoshop and left some visible "blurring" please note that this blurring is not very professional for websites. It is very clear in the top navigation bar and the header leftside and rightside. You might want to fix this blurring, and change the way your navigation looks "the current state and on-mouse-over state" they do not look well organized to me.

Other than this,
Congratulations of the colors you used together, very nice colors. Your logo is fine and represents the product well. Very Good efforts!
