Hello!
Well I Have Reached The Point Of Critique.... Which I Am Very Looking Forward To... I'm Excited To Hear What You All Think And What You Have For Suggestions... So Here We Go
Okay The Purpose Of The Site Is To Offer Antiques, Collectibles, Tag Sale Items Etc. Through A Classified Ad Setting, I Want The Site To Be Attractive To All Visitors, To Be Taliored, Straight Lines, Easy To Navigate, Etc. I Don't Want It Filled With Graphics As The Graphics Will Come From The Ads, Not To Mention I Feel The Background Is Graphical In It's Own...
I'm Looking For Replys In Regards To Everything, Navigation, Ease Of Reading, Layout, Spelling The Whole Thing...So Please Do Hold Back I Want To Hear The Good The Bad & The Ugly... Rip My Many Hours Of Hard Work To Shreads If You Think It Could Be Improved... I Am Still Fine Tuneing It When I Run Across Something...

Here Is The Link:

Http://www.antiquebrokerz.com

3 things,

1. A logo? Would make the site look more profressional
2. Maybe have the links white, they are quite hard to read and would bring some more colour to the page
3. page loading isnt quite what it should be, try downsizing the images

Hope this helps!!

P.S My website is also a classifieds site, its VERY hard to get people putting classifieds up so good luck!

Hi

For me - the page doesn't quite line up
Also, could you get rid of the flashing links - it makes me dizzy :S

The various table elements don't line up. Funny thing, the links blink in Moz but not in IE. Never thought I'd be thankful to IE for anything The blink is really annoying and creates accessibility issues. Blinks cause problems for people with tendencies toward siezures and for those with cognitive disabilities.

"Welcome.." is a really poor choice for h1. The top banner, "Buy & Sell Treasures!" would be much better. Actually, "welcome" should never be the first word in any header or tagline. My opinion, but valid I think.

The borders are too heavy for my taste. What do I know? I prefer the clean lines of Shaker furniture to the baroque Jacobean. Perhaps it will appeal to the folks that are attracted to your content.

Fonts. Be careful here. When you call for particular font-families, remember that the font may not be available to the user. Will that break your design?

With the exception of table/table-alignment problems and the gawd-awful blink, it comes down to a matter of æsthetic preference.

I see no value in using tables for this layout. Using CSS and semantic HTML would greatly reduce the code size and make the site more easily maintained.

cheers,
