Hey Dennis,

Looks great... I checked it out from class today... Very clean!

How long did it take you to make? Did you do both the coding and the design, or did you work with a team?

Wow, looks like you've put a lot of work into this.

Couple of small things I noticed:

One section you use "About" and another you use "About Us", even though they go to the same page. You might want to be consistent in your terminology to avoid the potential for confusion.

I also notice that there is a "Welcome" item on the top right hand side, but it never seems to be a clickable option. If it was ultimately intended to go to the home page, then I would remove it because you already have a home button. If it is not for that purpose, I would remove it anyway cause I'm not really sure what purpose it serves?

You may want to have some mechanisms for letting the user know which page they are on if they click on the top nav bar (i.e., a rollover effect). I notice you have one for the side nav bar and I would recommend having a similar effect for the top bar (e.g., maybe do an inverse of the button). Another way is to add a heading at the top of the page. I notice you've done it for smart buy - you'll want to do the same thing for cars and login to be consistent.

I could be wrong here, but think I'm seeing a number of different fonts? I'd recommend that you limit yourself to two (again for a more consistent, easy to read look). One of the fonts that you use extensively - are you pretty confident most people will have it? If they don't, it will render differently on different people's computer when the computer substitutes the font for one it has. I usually stick to Arial and Verdana for text blocks to be on the safe side.

I would probably modify the articles heading to be consistent with the other headings.

Caught a typo on the login page - it says registred?

I might take the about us out of the find it fast, seen as though it appears under the next heading.

Just some thoughts - feel free to ignore.

I tested it in Opera (because that's a good browser to test pages with), your textarea etc. on this page http://www.autosndeals.com/searchex.aspx is not looking good. The width isn't as it is supposed to be.

The navigation disappears when you click the "Talk" button. How do people continue browsing your site?

Does anybody know good one's???

i love the site.. looks nice.

suggestions: i like the idea of how you go over an image and it automatically gets bigger.
the only problem with that is it takes it longer to load the page. i have a cable modem and
it was rather slow. i would take that effect out. also i would add a rollover effect on the
buttons.
