Have you had any positive feedback about the new site?

yes we have had some positive feedback and the number of domain names searched for are up since the change of the website. I am just a messenger so as I said please send me your feedback and I will happily pass it on to the powers that be. I can't get anything changed without serious constructive feedback. The more feedback I pass on the better.

A very minor point, but it looks like the ad banner on the right hand side is being called via http and not via https which causes a ""This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items" when logging in and viewing any subsequent pages with IE7.

Any chance you could pass it onto your Web developers and ask them to fix it please.

While I'm sure everyone will appreciate the removal of the stock images, I feel more attention is needed on the functionality of the site rather than the look. I personally preferred the appearance of the old site but in my opinion the removal of the dashboard style homepage including current auctions and current market sales is just as bad for Sedo as it is for users of the site.

I've had many arguments over the years with web designers about style over function but in my experience - no matter how good a site looks, people will not use it if it's difficult to use.

Edwin is quite right, not only does this forum contain a big target audience for sedo it also has huge experience in all areas of the web. And most people are willing to give free advice. A luxury which most businesses don't have.

I would be interested to know how the latest premium auction compares to previous ones. I know my recent sale wasn't the best domain around but to make just over �20 after Sedo fees - I�ll be thinking twice about applying for premium auctions next time as I�m sure others will.

as dotNetFreak says the insecure alert on every page load is very frustrating... Schoolboy stuff really?
