We've just launched our search service with a new branding, image and functions, let me know what you think!

Also, please tell me if you know of additional valuable search tools that aren't available in our site.

I don't like the way everything is smashed up in the top left corner... It just turns me off.

Too cramped.
Dislike the lavender color.
Have no idea what this site is about.
Text is too small.

It seems like your going for the google get straight to the point approach. Center the search heading in the middle of the page, and get rid of the footer bar. Put the footer text in a line right below the search box once you center it in the page.

I dont use Javascript in my webbrowser. Your website does not work at all without Javascript. This is a critical error with regard to usability. Technically your website is "illegal" in Britain, they have laws against lack of usabilty because they consider it a type of discrimination.

Thank you all for your opinions. Regarding the way everything is located at the top of the page when you first load the page, it's a necessary functional condition for the service to work, but once you click any search provider, the rest of the page will be filled with information.

nseidm1: About the illegality of the site in Britain because it uses javascripts, please provide us with a link to the law article cause a lot of my colleagues just doesn't think it's discriminatory. BTW, switch to Firefox and you won't have double scrollbar!

Stevecsd: Thanks a lot for your interest in spreading the word out! I'll email you later.

Thank you all for your time, any other comments?

Wow I'm really sorry but with just Javascript this will never make it on the net. Get rid of the java as your main coding source and try something like html so people can see your site. More than half of all people on the web do not enable java regularly.

You have alot of work to do with this site to make it at all acceptable. That's a start. Good luck with it!
