whaBAM! New Auction Site- Feedback Wanted

Hello,

We have created this new auction site and are looking for feedback.

What you do not like and what you like about the site? The site offers un-limited sellers aco**** for $49.99 a month and for buyers its always free. Buyer can also post what they want and make sellers bid.

The URL is www.whaBAM.com.

You can use this coupon for a free trial account for 6 months when signing up: EN006. We hope if you use the six month trial you will provide some website feedback.

Thanks for your time and make it a great day.

whaBAM, Feedback Team

Overall, a very nice looking site. One thing I noticed...on the BUY, SELL and WANT pages: You list How to Buy three times...and the same holds true for the Sell and Want pages. This is overkill. Twice is ok, ...you need the breadcumbs to tell people where they are on the site and you need a headline, but lose the third mention altogether.

WhaBAM is a strange name...any reason you chose it? Of course, Google probalby sounded mighty strange at first too, so what do I know?

You might want to add a little more space between the links "browse sells" and "browse want"....(and grammatically speaking, it should be "browse sell" -- I think).

When do you expect to go live?

Well I like the fact that the site expands to fill the screen at all resolutions. Too many sites to are built targeting one resolution, and fill just barely half the screen at other larger res.

But I would put some more definitive copy concerning the purpose of the site and make it more visible. When someone loads the page they should know within 5 seconds what type of site they've loaded.

Hello,

Thanks for the the input and will pass this all to the team.

We are live now but have not done any P.R or marketing yet. All this will start at month end.

Thanks for the feedback, Correct the home page needs to be more clear.

I agree. All in all, a nice-looking site. One small point of criticism: When I looked at an auction and wanted to check some of the other pictures available for the item, the page had to re-load every time. Would have been nice, if the image display simply showed the picture, so that one doesn't have to scroll down each and every time.

Since you're looking for feedback on your page, thought you might like to check out what others are saying about you elsewhere on the web: http://www.otwa.com/community/showthread.php?t=32830

We are corecting the image problem today and will push to our data center around 6PM PST. Thanks for the feedback.

You should open the license agreement to a new browser so newbies won't get discouraged in the form process.

Some use target="_blank" in the anchor tag while others use javascript open.window. I don't know which is better.

Thanks for the feedback and will forward this to our team. The image problem has been corrected now and glad someone in this forum mention this to us. We have devlopers on site and can make changes as people request. We can also help promote small business by helping move items they are selling from there websites to whaBAM.com. We do this for free but they must own the website we are taking the items from.

Warm Regards,
WhaBAM!, Staff
