My friend and I just launched a new website one month ago. The url of the website is http://BarterPalace.com

BarterPalace.com is an online bartering matching system. It helps to organize the barter community locally and nationwide. The system will alert the buyer and seller when there is a match between their trade. It can be used as a trading center i.e. buying and selling too.

It is our commitment to provide these services free for our registered community members. Therefore, we believe we need to keep our website simple and easy for our user to navigate. We need your suggestion on this. We encourage you to sign up and test drive the system.

We need a whole community effort to build a strong community. Therefore, we thank you for your comment and feedback and they will be taken seriously.

I don't like the layout too much. Very nice calm light blue with disgusting red. You should space out the css sections slightly more. The red is not good at all. the image on the top right looks a little tacky since it's just small icons on a white background in faded blue.

bad color combinations.

I typed error:"sity is free or service?" must be "site" [meta description] SORRY
- favicon is very good, but more pithy image will beter
- may use ssl for login page (in exactly the same way on each page where customer must input private data)
- where is 'privacy policy'? better individual page than article
- 'terms_of_use' - collection of articles? 8-O
- phrase:"Personal information may be disclosed, or sold to third parties" - don't understand - your sale such info, what cost?
- difference from links: here <-> register? [login.php]
- if all names are optional - you don't plan communicate with clients? if they want-indicate fictitious name...
- if ask birthday why don't interest by day? if you collect age's stats why month for? really need such precision?
- why don't use php for validate register form?
- annoyed small cubes in navbar :-( if you can css made navbar such.
- "Why pay for expensive shipping costs if you can get what you want locally" - 400miles for traveling such
distance may cost more than shipping...
- relocated text's blocks on FAQ - scrolling is not wanted here
- definitions of categories? as sample 'Baby accessories' vs 'toys' and other such
- you collect many private info but WHO ARE YOU ONESELF???
- it's very difficult purpose for realisation, best wishes!
- some advice else: use validate for seller's proposals (reject illegal items)
- more preferable use press_advertising for your promotion.

P.S.- your really prefer blue color? ;-)

Cool concept, but the site site appears hastily designed at best. This tends to hurt credibility.

I would agree with most people on here, the layout needs help. The idea is good. Aslo is your site doing anythign to protect the people using it from fraud and such?

I thnk it's fine, but you could probably work on the layout a little. It will probabaly do well though. Most bartering web sites do.

I like the color scheme. Blue represents power in business and professionalism. So you got the ticket there. I also like the fact that very few images are used. This keeps the website a fast load.

I like the concept, but definitely the colors should be a little more friendly. Maybe a Green and Silver, to promote consumer confidence and security. Just my thoughts. Keep it up, though!

I think you should back off on the drop shadow around the logo. it's a little heavy.

This site seems interesting, i think the webmaster could have done something better with little more work! specially for colors , it will look better if he removes the purple buttons!
I was wondering why does google never changed the design of the search box!!! remove the stylish input fields and use normal ones like google

hope it will help
