You can stop reviewing this site -- she hasn't been back since she posted.

It doesn't fit to 1024x768, and use tables for design, now images overlap text. Images are good.

What a great looking site...very easy on the eyes. If I were looking I'd most certainly bookmark this site Tickertape banners are mildly irritating to me but thats just my opinion. I like the colors and the images, content is interesting and inviting...looks great.

1.) Nice flashy objects tend to cause epileptic seizures. Those flashing gifs need to be changed. Either stop them from flashing or set the rate much lower (2-5 seconds per image).

2.) Don't use the scrolling marquis. It's tacky (IMHO) and a waste of good real estate.

3.) You are using at least three different font faces. Using only one font face will help with the continuity of the site. Different fonts may be used in special occasions.

4.) Like others have said, text should be text, not images. That center image is a whopping 58Kb. And, the entire page is around 130Kb. Poor dial-up users will have to wait as long as 30 seconds to view that page. I usually bail after 10 seconds unless it's really worth my time. (56k modem will download at about 5Kb/second.)

5.) Limit the width to no more than 750 pixels. 1004 seems a little large, especially for low-resolution users. About 50% of your visitors will be using a resolution of 800 x 600 or smaller. (Google search for monitor stats)

Good luck with your site.

Joe.

I suggest to make the web page width be around 720 pix or less. It will fit in most of browsers.

yeah, maybe it's just the resolution I'm at, but it's pretty hard to read..

You're not crazy, Megan, it's changed massively since I first looked at it.

Not a big fan of animated gif's myself. If you must use one, thats fine; but not the three I see. With all three flashing at once, it almost sends me into shock for cerebral over stimulation =). There are some issues that have already been discussed, so I wont go back into them...but I think its a good start.

I'm kind of cofused here. It doesn't seem like I'm looking at the same thing the others have commented on. I don't see anything like Suzanne's screenshot, for example.

I am seeing a lot of pink and a big horizontall scrollbar, even though I'm using a fairly high screen resolution. That's an important problem to fix. I also see a page title on my browser tab that says "home"! Definitely add more detail there - it's important for search engines as well as users. The overall layout isn't bad. It happens to match my browser tint

The top header graphic looks okay but could use some work. The circle thing behind the text looks like the AT&T logo, and the photos to the right are too small. The text for the logo itself is extremely boring and totally forgettable. I do really like the "love at first type" tagline

Your graphic headlines are not looking very good. It looks like the graphic has been resized using HTML or something. Forget using graphics for text - just use text! It looks a lot better and is much easier to update.

Am I missing something or is there no real actual content here? I can't find anything about how to sign-up or how much it costs or anything like that. I guess you just haven't finished that part yet???

P.S. There are a lot of dating sites out there. It might be a good idea to narrow your focus to a specific geographic area or demographic. That might help you to be more successful in such a competitive market.

Hi,

I had a hard time focussing on the home page with all the ads going off. On the second page I noticed how hard it is to read the purple links on the pink background and again with the ever blinking ads. You also have some broken links on your contact page.

Best wishes
