How did you choose those?
Not easy to read at all. (Is it for you? Then I reckon you are colorblind or something h

First, its better than i could ever do. However, From my iPad, I can barely read or see anything. Also, the content, font, and coloring and feel looks very outdated. Marketing is one of those things you either need to do right or not at all. If this is not your thing, $500 goes a long way with a college kid who has a passion for digital media.

Hey UncleB I think it looks great but I use a laptop when I check PPOT.
Cheers, Guy

I understand what you are going through. I am selling my Miata on Autotrader and Kijiji.

Thank you for this... now to figure out what went wrong...

Are you sure you are looking at the right site?

My pc laptop using Chrome as a browser, it really looks good. I thought that maybe you had fixed it because it didn't appear as the other two posters had mentioned.

Looks great to me. If I ever wanted to re-enter 911 stewardship, that would be in the running.

Looks excellent on my ipad.

Seems like a good idea given the value of the car- I think it also will remove doubt about it being a scam like an add on Craigslist or similar might.

I'm using Chrome on my Dell laptop and can't read anything either. I get the same view as the screen shots above.

On FireFox the site looks the business, well done.

The "Vulcan" pic was a nice touch.

Beautiful car, btw.

I'm using Firefox and the background is dark and the thumbnails don't do anything. In fact, nothing much on the page works at all.

General comments:

Lose the crash bar and yellow foglight on the front of the car.

The artsy photos are nice (well, some of them are worth keeping) but you need to photograph the car in detail, in one place. Don't just use whatever photos you have on your computer. There needs to be a section where the entire car is photographed, at one time, in one spot.

Don't use any photos of your other cars, track events, or anything extraneous.

More detailed history on the car needed.

Good luck.
