The basic design is okay but there's not much here to catch attention. You need something colourful and centrally placed on the home page to highlight what the site is about and why someone should join. Read this article:

"Great Homepages Really Suck"

Right now it is very bland and uninspiring. I supposed I might join this if I really needed it but I wouldn't be too excited.

Another problem is the mismatch between the colour schemes in the header and body areas. The header has a nice bright saturated green but the content area is more dull and unsaturated. I like the birghter colour better. Mixing it with other bright colours would be good (try blue maybe). I also find the larger unbolded text for the headers to be a problem. It doesn't fit the look and feel of the site (that would work for a very light look and feel but that's not what you have). Put the bold back on, make the font size a little smaller (I think, see how that looks) and put some of the margin back in while you're at it.

Not a bad job overall. I'm sure the programming is very good but you need to market it a lot better.

Update: I got 2 new logos. Which one do you guys think looks best?
1 -

or
2 -

or the current one

Much better! Very modern looking. I'm not quite sure since they're so similar. I'm leading towards the second one though... the shadows add just a pinch of sophistication.

How about this one:

I changed the icon colors to make it more vibrant and to differentiate between programmer and designer.

Hey, I just saw your site come up on Digg!. 1289diggs and counting at this point - congratulations!

I'm not sure about the colours... it kind of makes me think that all programmers are male and designers are female due to the strong gender associations with those colours. Personally I like the logo below of the two you posted above:

On your site, the logo has "{;'}" coming from the programmer. Is HTML/CSS really a programmer thing? I would class it more as a designer thing. Perhaps a shebang line would be more suitable i.e. "#/usr/" ?

It actually says {hi;} not {;} =P
And I really like the current logo on the site (and so do quite a lot of people). So I'm going to keep it for a while. Also, I'm very busy with the feature requests to I don't really have time to work on a new logo.

Thanks!

Andy - that's what I thought about the pink/blue on the sample posted here. I like the yellow that's on the site much better

I think more work needs to be done on bringing the rest of the design up to the quality of the logo (I belive someone at digg mentioned this too!)... but first things first

Last night, I finished release 3 of the site. Tons of new features, including:
* Sexy new skin (at least I think so)
* Skill level — filter out the jobs that are too hard/easy for you
* Now when you accept an offer, you can still see all the other offers
* Email updates: you can have "us" email you everyone a new message gets delivered to your inbox
* Fixed tagging system
* Better (read: works now) RSS feeds
* Multi-search: search for people looking for designers and entrepreneurs (example) at the same time.
* User search: find other users on the site
* A lot of bug fixes

Check it out (http://programmermeetdesigner.com) and tell me what you think!
Thanks.
