Not bad... Looks cool and clean... Maybe you could work out on the footer... The opacity effect of the image doesn't look nice for the footer...

Hi,

This is my first post and I'm most interested in doing and receiving reviews so I thought I'd start here.

Nice clean site, your logo is excellent, looks very professional.

I wonder if the menu is a bit too overpowered by the login and register links they seem to impose themselves on the other menu items a bit too much. Or maybe the menu items are in too small a font, it doesn't seem obvious that this is the main navigation area for the entire site.

Where you have the second menu (Dealshouter) it seems that the "dealshouter", "latest submitted deals" and the "go to popular deals" link all link to the same place? Is there a need for 3 links to the same thing? Also I don't get why there is a deal shouter watermark on that menu, it makes it look like it's a menu option that is disabled for some reason but doesn't seem obvious why. Maybe it's confused by the fact that the menu doesn't flow so it makes you think that anything in that area is a link.

Down the right hand side you have to scroll an awful long way to get to the bottom of the page, most of which is whitespace and only needed due to the mass of items down the right hand column. Maybe move half of these across to the left hand side of the main content to remove the need for so much scrolling? Or make them all unexpanded to start with rather than expanded? Also can't get the Categories section to expand and contract.

When you have the list of items down the middle of the page it's quite hard to distinguish where one item ends and another one starts, maybe even just a very faint line between items would show some separation. I do like the details you give for each item though, the emphasis on the votes and the thumbnail picture are great. Generally I do really like all your graphics and the shade of green you've used is perfect, not too bright and not too dull.

Someone did mention the footer and I'd agree the watermark makes it unnecessarily large, maybe the watermark could be just above or below the footer rather than in it, making it easier to read the links.

Seems like a bit of a rant but wanted to let you know all my views. Hope it helps.

- the navigation should be in lighter color (not black on dark green)
- add something (line or colord space or whatever) between the items to separate them (after discuss .. add this link to .. tell a friend line)
that's what i think you need to change

I like the site, it's nice and has a clean layout, not sure about the colours. I have to agree the over use of red and green tend to make me think of Christmas. Which may not be a bad thing this time of year considering it is a sale site. I also agree that the use of the logo with the dropped opacity on both the footer and the side table are unnecessary and just make it hard to read the text.

Love the bg pattern.

Very nice site. Very clean, clear graphics. Looks professional, no clutter at all. I actually like the colors, sets the site apart.

As a completely off topic post, make sure you don't rip deals from other sites word for word, or in order. Change up the language, find the deal yourself, etc.

Thanks for the feedback.
I was thinking about adding a dashed-line between the items. I wasn't sure if it was the way to go. I might just try that now that you are mentioning it.

Like everything generally. One big thing that will make it look a LOT better:

make the background white!

your site would just look tonnes cleaner and not have that dirty grey background catching the eye instead of it going to the content initially.

Other than that great work!

Ummm, I think it is an unclean looking site. It has sooooo much potential. You should have a homepage with some info on your company, and just have some left navigations for all the categories of the deals. That would make it look picture perfect.

I really like your site. Great idea, great colors and real clean. I second or twenty second what others are saying about the footer and background color. A white background color would make the site look better I think. Ohh and your logo is sweet!
