I would love for you guys to take a look at our website, GrooveJob.com. We've been around about 4 years now and back in Jan 04 did a complete redesign... logo, colors, navigation, etc.

GrooveJob.com

Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave

Dave,

I like the site. The look is clean. The guy in the photo at the top really makes you feel welcome.

Only a couple things come to mind. I'd make the gray lettering darker. Maybe its not so important because probably mostly young people use the site, but the employers might find the lettering harder to read.

Also, I can't decide about the background. Think I would play with lightening the contrast to see if it looked better when it didn't stand out so much.

On an unrelated note, I was surprised to see the company Online Business Systems. I can't find them on the web - the company I found doesn't seem to relate to the company on your site. If the site is for young people, I'd be careful about making it clear whether that opportunity is a paid job, or if you have to make an investment, or if there is no investment, but you work straight commission, etc.

Everything worked very well, and I can see why the site is so popular.

I like the color scheme and layout overall, it's very clean and suits your market.

To view a job opportunity, it seems like there's an awful locking of clicking to finally get to the page that allows me to view the job details. I was also frustrated with the breadcrumb navigation in regard to getting back one level - your site required me to start over with my search by location.

Hello hunegnaw,

I viewed your site with Firefox, Opera, Netscape and IE at 1280x1024 so there's a lot of the background visible and I agree with MktgPro about toning it down a bit. Otherwise it's a good-looking and clear site. I also agree with MarciZoob about the colours which are just right apart from the brightest green (search box), on my screen.

The font size on your first page is fine but I don't understand why your navigation on subsequent pages should increase in size so much. In Firefox, Netscape and IE your first page appears central, in Opera it's aligned left.

There are anomalies in the source code that you should clean up. Your meta tags, form and sporadic page tags are in xml whereas your declared doctype is HTML 4.01 Transitional. Don't confuse the browsers. Convert everything to xml and all will be fine.

Your first page tagline is; 'Part time jobs, teen jobs, student jobs, teen jobs and hourly jobs!'

You want it to appear bold and you want people to be able to link from it. You know the search engines like H1, so you make H1 links (line 133-4). That's not valid html. In the inferior IE and Opera this line appears as you want it but in the compliant Firefox and Netscape the text reverts to your smaller font dictated by your stylesheet and you lose the bold effect. Browser checking is so important.

Equaly, H5 is not allowed within "p" (eg.line 170).

Check out http://validator.w3.org/check?verbos...groovejob.com/ to see all 93 errors that your first page generates. Some of these are ALT tags which you should correct immediately as their absence discludes people with visual disabilities, who will also be looking for part-time work.

Many regards,

Tim

I forgot to mention your non valid CSS which you can see at http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/v...groovejob.com/

Good luck,

Tim

Did a job search using zip code and results were useless. It came back with a list of companies that aren't even near where I live. Come on....SeaWorld has a job opening in a rinky-dink town in Pennsylvania? Then to top it off, when I clicked on it for more information, it stated the application deadline was 2005. The usefulness of the site didn't impress me at all.

GrooveJob looks like a site for David Hunegnaw (the site owner of GrooveJob) to run work at home scams and secret shopper scams. I came across a job posting on groove job for "Secret Consumer Jobs" secretconsumerjobs.com :: Become a Mystery Shopper - that website, which is posted on www.groovejob.com is registered to David Hunegnaw. Here's the record:

The iframe on the right of your site is throw some sort of page loading error.

"Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at b.casalemedia.com"

Overall I like your color scheme but I'm not a big fan of your white on that light greenish on your left content navigation. Cheers.
