| 1 | Waste of spce |
You have a too big empty space on middle of page. Maybe you can rearrange items on search criteria definitions box, so that its wider and increase the height.
To put some illustration's is a good idea. Put they are a bit poor. Especially bus (or train?) and ship. Erase sea from left side of bus, make a sea border (bay) more natural.
Where is the content dude?
It looks a blank page with just shipping calculator.
See it from user perspective. When a user will land up, he will see nothing just the shipping calculator.
How should have about us, embed code, registed free at the top.
Add a banner to the site and add this shipping calculator in it...preferable in the right hand side.
Choose images that reflect your business.
I think you have a good point about the content. I might move the nav up and come up with content on the left. Thanks so much.
Hi Daniel,
One more thing I will recommend you is to take the user information first before they can actually compute the shipping cost.
A simple contact form, which they have to fill before they are directed to the shipping gateway will do.
1st- The Side menu is most effective when changing the content on a small section of that page, or as a supplement to a more traditional header menu. I would move the side menu to the top, and the Login control to bottom an have it overlay the skyline.
2nd- If you don't have content to fill the open space on the left, dont just throw another larger image in the mix, the point il drafted by a bus a train and a plane. I would think more about creating a gradient smoothing vertically from the top of the Shipping Calculator Box to the bottom of it (with some padding on the top and bottom), but instead of making the gradient span the entire width of the page, add some padding so that it stops @ the shipping calculator on the right, and have it centered so the margin is equal on both sides.
1st. Good point. I will definitely changes the navigation to the top, since it's not working very well there.
2nd. I don't understand very well what you are trying to say here with the gradient.
Thanks so much for the critique.

| 1 | I think you could simply this by making the calls to action the same as the headline. Basically, you are just duplicating underneath. Why not make the headline text read (or the button) and replace the headlines with "Learn About Us", "Get the Calculator on Your Site" and "Register for Free" |
| 2 | You and I know what "embed the code" means. But does your target audience? It might be better to use headline like: "Use the calculator on your site"

| New Idea on reversed_cantarrel_moreprominent.jpg | |
| 1 | I think this works really well. However, my eye was drawn to the bottom not here, I think because of the red. How about using some red here? Maybe with the "calculate" button. |
I actually think this site works quite well, and I like the design. I would just try try to avoid looking too "cartoonish" with the plan/train/boat, and really play up what they are. Also, be sure to consider what words your audience is looking for.

CalculatorNot sure if the more straighter edged tabs works with the curved main component of the calculator
| |
| Positive Feature | |
Color SchemeColor scheme works well, gentle on the eyes while the complementary color on the buttons really drawns the eyes to them
| |
| Positive Feature | |
Needs to be more bright and user friendlyI would try to add more bright colors maybe a cargo vessel on the ocean, add more bright colors, Add more content that will engage visitors. | |

| 1 | I'd go bigger here. You have space to fill in and the logo is on the verge of getting lost in the page. |
I really like the graphics and think the home page does a decent job of telling people what actions to take. The calculator, however, is too far to the right. Either move it over to the left, opening space to the edge of the view, or make the calculator bigger.
Thanks that's a good point!

"You have a too big empty space on middle of page. Maybe you can rearrange items on search criteria definitions box, so that its wider and increase the height." Thanks that's a good point. I'll work with that, you mean increase the width, right? not the height?
I will rework on train and bus, you have a good point. What do you mean by make a sea border? Thanks so much
