Just some general info

We decided to have some fun and take on Groupon

We launched today in Birmingham and Newcastle:

As can be seen for the numbers not a bad start

Every thought of expanding your reach with adding an affiliate program?

Ashton · 19-11-2011, 02:26:04 AM

Why use a subdomain?

Design is dull, right click -> blending options -> tick drop shadow = done.

A Birmingham deal which is actually a national deal from a company based in Surrey?

Nasty code output.

Sign up = choose city + enter postcode, why should I have to do both?

Too long fades on underlines and slideshow. Not to mention the deals page doesn't even have these fades (Which is better).

Stupid massive search icon compared to small search bar.

Testimonials from 3 people in their 20s... are they even your target audience? Is it really right to have 3 people from the same demographic, even 2 called Oli?

Also when I click 'see more cities' it says birmingham has 2, even when it has 3.

Title isn't clickable, I have to click 'read more'

Can't see a facebook like button at the top with google+ and tweet...

Username on sign up not checking instantly?

Honestly Doug, I have a lot of respect for you and I admire what you do, but this you can do better than this if you're attempting to compete with groupon / kgbdeals.

Do you know the deals are displaying in dollars?
