- Design looks nice and clean. I'm impressed that you have a photo of downtown Raleigh on my city's section, that's a nice touch.
- Posting interface is simple, and I like that its free.
- I like the McAfee secure logo. I know it doesn't mean anything, but the everyday user in me likes seeing it (reinforces trust).
Things I think could be improved:
- My profile says I'm in Reidsville (geolocated). I can't find a way to change this (I'm actually in Raleigh, NC).
- I can't find a way to post an ad from the dashboard.
- More categories for services. For example, I'd like to list under graphic & web design, which is available as a job but not a service. Computer is too broad.
- Once I choose a city, set a cookie so that when I click back to the homepage it takes me to the Raleigh homepage, instead of the generic choose-a-city page.
- Let me add a link to my site! I'll make a profile for my business on just about any well-made business directory provided that listing is free, and lets me link to my website.
- Following on this, let me add more metadata about my business (e.g., hours, address, phone, specializations).
- "Manage My Ads" is dropping onto 2 lines, orphaning "Ads".
- The combination of the icon and the name Abtain make it seem like a health site at first blush.
Overall, I really like it. If you can add in some of that metadata I will definitely fill out my listing and try your site out.
After you make a profile, go to edit your profile and you can add a link to your website. See how I have a link back on my profile. http://www.abtain.com/dan
I'll check into updating the geocoding. Anyway you can tell me your ip address? I'll check to see if any databases have your ip in correctly.
Will take your other comments under consideration in the next deployment. Thanks.
Thanks, I see it now. It was linked to my abtain profile, and I didn't realize I could change that to whatever I wanted.
IP: 75.93.212.230. It shows up as Greensboro on most sites, which is just one of the shortcomings of geolocation by IP. So really, I just need to be able to change it.
