Sorry guys, pop ups and adverts on sites just don't do it for me. Clicked on an article and got ..."Before we go any further etc etc etc. Lost interest as couldn't see the article. Too busy, too messy, for me. May well suit other uses but sadly not my style.
I'm sure the products are great, but I lost heart looking for them.

I think the idea is great and I hope you can make it work.
It took me a lot of effort to work out what the site is for and who it is aimed at - I would have given up if it was not a Brickies site to be reviewed. I am clearing a house now and have things to give to a good home. So I registered and tried to enter details of a sofa, but it would not let me as I did not have a photo!

I did not like the big ad down one side.

Good luck

Its a busy site with lots of good ideas but it looks a little haphazard.

The logo gets lost in the adverts and could be more visible and I think you could do with splitting the page up either with borders or background colours. As a graphic designer I learned that everything on a page needs to justify why its where it is which means that even when objects appear to float in white space they actually have white borders.

Your links pause on mouseover which is slightly offputting. If you use css based rollovers you would iliminate that.

The 'Blanksheet' ad has a 'advertisement' title attribute as do the navigation links. The navigation links don't need one but the rest of the links on your site would really benefit.

Finally, don't have 'read more..' links. They are nonsense to a screen reader and useless to search engines. Have meaningful links. This applies to the 'here' links aswell.

Take heart, its easier to turn a moving boulder than to start it rolling.
