revised my site need input

[lawnman777]

hello everyone, i made yet still more changes at my site. i want to know if it is easy and understandable. I think people are not sure what to do. it is a classified ad site. I want to know if it is easy to figure how to get to and post to the classified section? Thanks for advise!

It does look nice, good job ... I might consider fancier landscaping photos (maybe) and while your navigation from the main page is great, and where you only have a few nav buttons, I might consider adding your navigation bar on all your pages so that you can go from one to the other easier ...
another thing is where you have some things underlined I tend to click there to see if it is a link, consider linking those words or maybe not underlining .... Your site should work well for you and good luck.

Nice,
Consider aligning those yellow buttons and changing the color, a darker yellow will make them show better.

good luck

Hi Lawnman,

I think you have a lot good - but I'd change the purple text - 2-3 colors are usually more than enough for a page - maybe 4. And in your case, using a dark green text would be fitting with landscaping. Look at the landscape pics you used at the top of the page - and use those colors - they work well with the image you want to portray while the purple really doesn't.

To go further with the color thing - I see 5 different colors text on the page as soon as I open the page. How about slowing down your scroll rate just a tad - and maybe make that the yellow text you are using in the navigation? Then change the purple to a nice "lawn green" color and darken the yellow color you're using for the bullets. I think this will look much better for you - and if not, you can always change it.

I'd get rid of the purple everywhere else on the page also. Consistency is very important for a professional look.

The site is easy enough to get through but, on classifieds the home text link doesn't go to home page, on articles page ...if you're coming off another page with say purple or an image bg the yellow screams at you to click something but change the page. Bethers had some good points about the colors, green is vegetation so maybe go that way, purple has nothing to do with the theme. You need a way to get home on all pages even your "about us page". I would try to link somehow so the user doesn't have to put up with this constant "Click here" like sendin email. I think most want to click one time and have your site do the rest. It will work out. The site like all others needs TIME, the one thing that we are not willing to give.
It is a clean site that needs tweaking. They have joined your forum, no. So there is interest they just haven't found you, get the word out to where you are. You should concentrate on others sites that have forums or anywhere you can stick your URL.

Did you purchase this e-Classifieds, or are you "leasing" it on a monthly basis with them?
And, is this what you finally decided to get since Noah's was giving you problems?? I may have a use for such a utility in the future, so more information is helpful to me.....

I am leasing it month to month. Besides the fact that no ones using it now, it is very very easy to use and the support is great. can get a lttle pricey to set up but is reasonable if people start to use it.

I didn't want the typical GREEN every lawn site uses. but maybe i can add some in there. thanks for input.

Re: revised my site need input

Remember - there are reasons lots of things are the color they are - like all the black text on white backgrounds - is still the easiest to read. But do what works for you -just remember, you want it to work for you - so it really needs to work best for your viewers.

cool site. nice and spooky for the seaoson. the text is a little hard to read against the backround color. maybe if a little larger font might help.
