I think the tag line on the home page is misleading: discover rockstar creative talent I spent about 4 minutes browsing and only saw below average portfolios. If you want a service like this to take off then you need to be absolutely ruthless about who you list. Talent attracts talent Bad talent attracts bad talent

very good point, thanks.

Good idea but your landing page looks like a domain for sale page. The content is not of high quality.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Thanks for taking the time to give feedback. Could you say what was behaving badly in Chrome so we can fix it?

Download Chrome, try it out?

Works fine in Chrome 14.0.835.163/Mac OS 10.7.1.

this isn't visual search, and this doesn't scale very well. you cant even realistically browse the few limited choices you have very effectively.

id take a step back to a whiteboard and focus on usability and the problem you're trying to solve.

Needs a lot of work. The pages behave badly in Chrome and a lot of the images displayed dead. A specific link for Web Designers on the home page would be a good idea

The left side menu would slide within the frame to the left to hide the links to the individual desingers.

This seemed to happen a couple of times when I clicked and held the link.

Hope that helps
