Default www.unlost.ie review please

Hi all,

Please find the link www.unlost.ie to a website I've been working on during my spare time. It's helping people get reunited with their lost and stolen property.

It's my first foray into webdesign and setup so all feedback and suggestions are most welcome. Some already useful feedback has been: user registration; more colours;

I've been testing it on Firefox and IE 6.

Thank-you!
www.unlost.ie

My thoughts ...

No branding of any sort
No Logo ...
Text you have for name doesn't have same background colour

Links / menu is too bland ..

and so on ..

Apart from that didn't really test out the site that much

Good Luck

Thanks for the feedback Forbairt!

By no stretch of the imagination am I artistic Jazzing up the site is certainly top of my list though. Hopefully you can check out the rest of the pages to see what you think.

Keep those comments a-comin'!

The main page is boring.

You'd be better off loading content from unLost - Ireland's premier portal for Lost and Found as otherwise people won't hang around

I like the idea and I like the domain, but I think the site leaves a lot to be desired. I agree with Forbairt's comments.
I think if you design the website well it could be a real goer, great idea.

I'm not too sure about the domain name either ...


You've a lot of work ahead of you building up brand recognition ... also won't people just confuse you with Lost.ie | Ireland's lost and found property website ?

no one last lostit.ie ... which would have made a bit more sense ... though .. los tit ie ... might not be the best play on words ...

Thanks all!
I've carried out that suggestion Blacknight - users now get presented with the search screen first. Good idea!
I've also added anchor links to the FAQ so users don't have to keep scrolling up and down.
Other developemnts are in the pipeline.

Keep any ideas a-comin'!

Interesting, seems identical in nature to: Lost.ie | Ireland's lost and found property website
