Welcome to the site

Nice to see a site that validates properly for once (I can just hear Red Cardinal now ...)

A couple of things...

Presumably you're aiming this site at a youth market....

Why have you put the W3C logos so prominently on the main page?


Dublinnites :: Photos the images may need to be resized.. Why can't I see the full version?

The reviews section is really nice, but I had to go poking around to find it

I love the way you've got the logo and Google map integrated:
Dublinnites :: Clubs :: Boomerang

I'd make that a lot more prominent

Is there any way that you could mod_rewrite the URLs?

Aiming it at the market that would go clubing and to restaurants so it can be from the youth market up! Wasn't sure where to put the logos, might make them smaller or move them to the bottom of the page.

It is from an SEO perspective, as the keywords are in the actual URL as well as on the page

Until you become "a Daft" or "a Technorati" or whatever getting traffic from search engines is how you build up your audience / traffic

I would add a quick blurb about the site on this image

seeing as there is lots of unused retail space.

Looks good so far: but can you make the background crosshatch thing a bit less contrasting? it's a bit hard on the eyes (my eyes. :P ) - and maybe make the gradient links in the main menu "Light up" a bit when you put your mouse over them.

Oh, and change " :: Advertisements" to ":: Links" or something - google already markets itself enough, and make the border colour on the ads same as the background colour.

Ye, been told this before about the background, not sure what type of colour, thinking maybe #CCCCCC as the whole background!
