Hi

I had a quick look at your header. It looks ok, but the small purple text looks a little out of focus. Try playing around with the anti aliasing to see if you can make it crisper.

Maybe try without the word "your" also, so that the smaller text fits in with the larger text.

Oh Please ignore the blur, it only happened once I uploaded to this forum - think it got shrunk a tad. I will see how it looks without the your : )

Thanks Jamie, this was my main concern colour scheme..

"Search" is cute graphically, but not immediately recognizable for what it is.

  I have to agree, the word 'search' is cute, but it doesn't really look like the word 'search'. I wonder if you could perhaps include a couple more letters and less people or something to make it more recognisable.
  
  Other than that I really like it - I like the word LIVE with that font I think it looks good.
  
  Thanks

  i like it, clean and minimalistic.
  
  but i could not read the last word - so it's kind of a problem, people like to understand from their first look where they arrived at.
  
  Thanks

  Looks good, but no need to use that size, save it as png, with transparent background, then it'll be resizable to say 750px, simply align it in the middle for smaller browsers/resolutions

  I agree. If you didn't have that caption beneath your logo, I would've never know you were trying to say 'search' using the silhouettes of people.
  
  It looks good, except for that one part.
  
  Thanks

The Header looks nice to me. The search word is cute however do not forget that the more the visitor has to think what it means ,the sooner he will leave your site.

Just sg. to think about...

I would honestly strip jokerman font and use TW cen MT condensed, with bold applied to it. Also, I would make the search a little more recognisable.

I think its clean, but "Search" should be more recognizable in my opinion. Work on "Search" and you'll have a winner!

  Ok, much better but...
  
  The tag line is redundant to the banner, and needs to be something more exciting. How about something like...
  
  "They're out there somewhere"
  "Investigation nation"
  "Where are they now"
  "Anybody, anystate"
  
  Also, this layout brings to mind Google, which is good, but I would resize/bold the search box and main description to make it more prominent, then add some spacing and then rest of the stuff (smaller text), which to me is adding distraction to conversions anyway.

Look nice but what I learn from another designer, the words "Your Free People Search" Must have the same end with the Upper word.

But overall is Great

on a non-design note, this site is pretty cool.

I found some old friends here when I never could locate them on other "people search" sites.

Thanks Dave! Glad it helped.

pdrw07 - not sure what you mean, you think also I should change the slogan, as Marty S suggested - to something other than "Your Free People Search"?

I really want to make it clear that its Free, thats why I picked the current slogan. Sure there are paid services on this site, but the main function is free for the user.

Thanks bt, but the credit must go to Mubarak Waseem. He really spiced it up nicely.
