I really like the front page, but I think you should think about making the rest of the pages consistend with the homepage. Especially the category page is just way too long. You might even be able to put everything on one or two screens. The page took almost a minute to load on a t1. Thats a little to slow, especially when there are not many graphics on the page.
I like the right side of your logo, but the one on the left side that says "it seller" seems kind of too simple compared to the rest of the page. I also feel like there was a little too mcuh space between the "it" and the "seller."
Keep up the good work,
Malte

Hi Myriad,
--- took about 30 seconds to load in IE and a little longer in netscape. the first page looks the same in both browsers, the auction page looks better in netscape (alignment is off on the bottom of the explorer page---mac equip isn't centered like the rest and there's a lot of extra space between the categories and on the left column in explorer also.
I'm so glad my "fossil" modem is good for something
I think that whole column might look better left aligned rather then centered. Better yet, you could make two columns out of the categories and balance the page as well as fill up some of that extra space.
Last note: I must have missed this the first time but I noticed that a couple of your icons on the home page (sell and help) have white backgrounds and the rest transparent/blue backgrounds---they might merge a little better if they match.
take care,
Carolyn
p.s. I'll check back often because I'm looking for a better monitor to go with my slow modem

myriad...
I am very VERY impressed with how this site has come along since it's first review a few weeks back.
I actually stoped for a few seconds in amazement when it loaded up (fast as well!).
Well done!
- I would have the news table in white border/not light blue.
- none of the main icons have an exact mix with the bg - make that blue invisble in PSP (whatever program) and it will look better.
- In between the applet and the top light blue bar their is a dark band, I would get rid of it.
- IN the top dark blue bar one of the pictures is obscured by the pixeling effect. I would pull the image back left so this does not happen.
The font page looks thourougly professional now!
