Not really the way I would design a website. There is something about the layout which makes me not trust the site. Kind of reminds me of this: Allirishlinks.com - Jobs,Mobile,Holiday,Cheap Flights,Sport,News,Freemail,Ireland,firstpage.ie

Seems a bit old fashioned too...

I'm a big fan of minimalist stuff though (Staff.ie - Irish Jobs and Jobs in Ireland, Dole.ie - Every job from every job website, Tempjobs.ie - Temp jobs, temping, temporary jobs, Jobseeker - Jobs) so I have a tendency to dislike websites with a lot of action.

Good luck with it though.

And 17 ad units per page? Seems a bit extreme to me.

The main page is far too "busy"

I've no idea what you want our eyes to focus on

You should also be careful with spelling and punctuation:

*ťAll About Weddings

There's no apostrophe in "videos"

I would recommend getting to grips with Web standards. The markup is a mess.

Though it looks like the site was designed by a 3rd party?

Margaret your sight (yes sight not site) is all over the shop. I think the layout is very confusing i.e. Business Listing.

Margaret, if I were you I'd ask The Design Pool for your money back. I know you probably paid very little for the site but it was too much regardless. The site ignores all the basic tenets of professional web design.

Remember - sometimes the expensive thing is the cheap thing in the long run.

Hmm...I like the header image thats nice, but the layout, seem to be abit like a patch work qullet. Things dont flow into one another. Also the frist thing I noticed as I got onto the site was the large amount of small underlined links in the middle of the page, somthing about it turned me off it. Maybe lose the underline. I also thing you need to repostion some images, like the ad's and that, just align them better. But over all its not a bad site, seems very useful also.

Good luck

Not bad for an amateur attempt. If top dollar was paid for this site, then it's nothing short of an absolute disgrace. I don't suppose you'd care to tell us how much you paid The Design Pool for the site, Margaret, and how they itemised the bill? I appreciate you probably don't want to do this but there are quite a few professionals here that can tell you what kind of value you got for your money.
