My thoughts exactly.

Go figure XML, go to www.cssbeauty.com and TAKE NOTE of how to organise your content from the examples of sites showcased THEN come back and ask for an opinion.

A re-design wouldn't go amiss either.

Explanation given.

i3lance, I get the impression you're pissed somehow?

Is it because I unsulted your idol Bob Geldof on http://speeps.com/search_results.png

Thanks for the feedback none-the-less!

I like my pretzels unsulted.

Anyway, it doesn't look very good - I'd prefer MySpace, Friendster and the like. You have to think like a user. And since you're making a social networking sites, start thinking like a 14 year old girl.

It could much better - seriously. But feedback like this is important so full credit for asking for an opinion.

Re-do it and come back for another opinion. I'm sure the next version will be much better dude.

P.S You can keep Bob - I hate sloppy seconds..

What I see on that site is arty-farty designs. The screeny was of a SERP, where usability is king.

Could you point me in the direction of SERPs that you think have been designed well?

Um...I don't think you looked around enough.

http://www.ascendis.co.uk/
http://www.cramersolutions.com/
http://www.digbusiness.com/
http://www.cmsl.co.nz/
http://www.parcrittenhouse.com/
http://www.bellacure.com/

2 minutes. No arty-fartiness to be found.

In all honesty, there's not much to look at and give criticism on - there's a piece of a profile page and a busy convoluted (too much stuff going on!) search results page. It looks like every other search result page I've seen - Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. My favorite of that group is tied between Google and MSN.

Cheers, nice sites, but none give examples on to arrange search data in a professional and usable manner.

The profile page I put together is nowhere near complete. I should never of put that up for criticism, maybe its skewed the responces
