First Thought: As an FYI, the site doesn't seem to display correctly on the computer I'm using. Using IE9, everything seems to be stacking on top of each other (I'm guessing the black area is supposed to be below all the little squares and there shouldn't just be a big green mess in the middle of the screen).

Second Thought: Not sure how I feel about the pop-ups for "About", "Contact", etc. Maybe it's just me, but I'd much prefer those as links to actual pages.

Third Thought: Total nitpick, but spell check brother! In "How It Works", the first thing my eye was drawn towards was "recomendations". In the same section, I'd suggest losing some of the italics (maybe keep it for the hint).

Not intended to be overly harsh. I like the idea, those are just my immediate thoughts as a potential user.

Not a problem! Thank you for your honest opinion! Related to the IE problem - I've developed the site with focus only on Firefox and Chrome (I wanted to build a simple prototype fast) I'll keep your recommendations in mind! Thanks!

Some notes:

- When you go to "Apply as a Developer" the title is "Apply as a Designer" then the copy says "Apply as a Developer" - When you're on the "Apply as a Developer/Designer" page, the "Post a Job" button gets squished.

  - Also on that page, none of the modal windows display.
- I'm a developer, but I'm curious...how are you handling payments? Are they wiring money? Why do you have to approve projects if they are willing to pay $100 for you to find a developer?

- There's an error on line 156 in the wufoo.js file.

- The bottom says "Apply as a Designer" but it goes to the same page as "Apply as a Developer". There is a big difference between the two :)

- I don't mean to be rude, but is English your first language? From reading through the copy on the site, and your blog, I found a lot of grammatical errors (I'm not saying I'm perfect, nobody is perfect). I'd go on fiverr or have someone just proof your site, it's worth it. I always have a friend double check stuff for me :)

It looks cool though. I found your post for the fact you asked in another thread if anyone knows any mobile app developers. I'd probably delete that thread, because it makes you look like a recruiter that's just getting started.

Good luck!
