My New Marketplace

[xaster]

Hi All,

I just wanted to get your thoughts on my new domain name marketplace that I have recently built and launched:

oydomains.com

I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Thanks

Took a long time to load. Only waited for the purpose of this review. All I see is a big picture of a guy shouting. I then have to scroll down to see the interesting stuff, your premium names for sale.

Don't worry , many other sites are also made in this apparently fashionable way, with the same disadvantage.

Might be an idea to come up with your own design rather than doing what everyone else is doing.

Thanks for the feedback. I will probably reduce the size of the banner, so that you can see the featured domains before the fold.

This should also reduce the file size of the site.

What else would you suggest needs to be done to make it different to the other sites?

Thanks

is this the domain investors script?
i like the domain name rectangles. not too big.
I agree with Charles, the header is way too big, and the active slider takes too much memory/time to load. Stick with a "not as tall" STATIC header pic.

Thank You for the feedback.

I agree about the smaller and static header. I will look to implement this in the coming days.

In the meantime, I have optimised the banners to reduce load time.

The site doesn't use the domain investors script. It is based around an ecommerce platform that I have customised.

Thanks again

Hi Guys,

Listening to the feedback, I have implemented a static smaller banner header.

Thanks for your support and feedback..

I like the design. It's simple and the logo graphics are attractive.

The chat box that is automatically open upon arriving to the site is annoying.

About us, blog and other pages at the top look great.

The footer could use some work. Because 'Recent Blog Posts' doesn't extend all the way it appears weird. Maybe add a 4th footer widget?

Everything looks really, really good. Great job!

Thanks for the feedback. I have changed the settings in the chat box so that it doesn't auto-expand.

Thanks for the kind words, I'm really happy with what I have created.
