Hi:

Would love any and all feedback please. It's an online business directory and social community for Sydney people to be able to write reviews and share their experiences in support of word of mouth marketing.

We're working to improve the search (make it predictive instead of a drop down) and the forums / mail / events / polls will go live on Monday next week.

Cheers,

Anil.

G'day Anil,
It looks great to me but I have a history of getting these things wrong.

Cheers,

Mike

just wondering, why are you only concentrating on Sydney?

Surely it wouldn't have been any more difficult to include other major cities. Even a drop down "CITY" menu in the top left.

by top left, i actually mean top right.

Hi ToastyHost:

Cheers for the post!

You are correct - expanding to multiple cities is indeed very simple technically and something we have considered. The reason we've focused on Sydney only is purely from a marketing / sales perspective. We want to make sure that when people come to the site that there are actually reviews to be read and businesses to be found. We also want to connect with our online community through offline events. Doing this across multiple cities would have been too difficult, so we wanted to make sure we got Sydney right first, before moving on to other cities.

Thanks!

Anil.

also, just curious, how did you come to pick rayv.com.au as your domain name?

ToastyHost · 03-03-2008, 02:34 PM

oh also i think you should preload your sub-menu graphics...

eg. put this inbetween the <head></head> tags:
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript">
var Image1 = new Image();
Image1.src = "images/rolloverimage1.jpg";
</script>

I agree with the comment about preloading your nav images, absolutely you should be doing this.

It looks very nice indeed, actually. It's kind of a more involved truelocal.com.au, although if truelocal starts doing those things too, you're going to find it very tough
