Would anybody please be kind enough to rate my site http://www.freelancedog.com in respect of its appearance, content, user-friendliness, etc. I should be grateful if you would give me input to make improvement. In fact, my site attracted enough freelancers (250+) to join but not enough buyers to post us projects!

Hey, thanks for looking at some other sites first! We really appreciate it.

Crap, I wrote a whole long review and somehow lost it! Here we go again! (hit the reload button by mistake)

  • Some of the text looks really cramped together. Especially the how to box on the left and the directory section. You might want to increase the font size there too. The sublinks can be difficult to click on.
  • I was annoyed to have to verify my e-mail before I could sign up. That usually happens later on in the process. What you could do is send the verification e-mail right away but allow people to keep going while they wait for it.
  • Too many little people looking up (what's with that trend, anyway!). They're all pulling the attention in different directions. Get rid of the guy in the circle on the right (leave just the circle), and the girl next to the search box (I find her annoying). You've got room to make the people on the bottom-right bigger so go ahead and do that. I think having multiple people on the page will work if one of them takes the emphasis (in this case, by being much larger than the others).

Otherwise this looks good and is easy to navigate. I like the way you've rounded the corners on the header bars.

It looks very professional. I really like the colors and design. It appears to very simple to navigate.

One thing I would do is make the recent projects on top of the main search thing, I think it would be better that way.

I'm getting a layout error using 1024 pixels with Mozilla 1.7.

In "Browse By Subject" the left most subjects are spilling out of that center rounded rectangle. Also the right side of the rectangle is indented in, with the image of the people being cut in half. That seems to be the only error like that.

In IE it works fine.

Hi i'm new at this
Here is just a few easies that I noticed

Your "browse by keyword" section isn't aligned properly.
Your RESELLERS banner is way to close to your site mascot, I found myself trying to read the banner for info about your site.

I totally agree with Megan about the search projects girl.

Make your top Providers and buyers lines the same sizeor bigger than font as the rest(featued projects/recentprojects)

Also consider a small page that tells all about you and your company
Hope this is of some value to you. Shocked

I think that its a nice professional looking site, and easy to navigate. The only thing that I found wrong with it is that the fram around the job categories as not aligned. The words on the accounting, administration, and graphic design were across the line, and the picture of the people was misaligned, their heads and bodies were one pixel apart and the fram was also misaligned on the right side. I am using netscape to view the site, not sure if that problem happens on internet explorer.

Typical site advertising a product.

Has PR of Three

Could do with more colours and a bit more work.

Looks good. I'm not sure about the colors, but it could just be me. Also I personally don't like the way the menubar has two round corners. Pretty good overall, who knows I might sign up.

I think the spacing on the top logo is not good. Look at the two sign in. I would personally make match one under the other. It is just me.
