Just finished going through the site and really enjoyed it. It was nice to see it built as a responsive site so viewing on mobile was just as easy as viewing on desktop.
With e30 parts slowly becoming more difficult to source and find, this could easily become a go to spot for the community to keep up to date on where to find or see if others are re-producing them.

I was discussing the site with my gf (a well published ux researcher) and she mentioned that since the site is starting out, maybe you do want to give equal priority to buyers and sellers. I thought that was a really good counterpoint to my point as a buyer (which I assumed would be the majority of users) I shouldn't have to click through another screen. She said you'd want traffic to see how easy it is to start selling and that she didn't have an issue with the current user flow. So there's that to consider.Last edited by Kershaw; 10-27-2016, 08:24 AM.AWD > RWD

I get that you're developing from a mobile first approach and that's great. But on a desktop resolution, it shouldn't still feel like a mobile site. Look at Tindie's responsive breakpoints, I think they did a great job with how the layout moves on each. Obviously they spent a shit ton on their development but it's something to keep in mind. I wouldn't give a temporary placeholder too much time if you're working on an entire redesign. It's up and it works, that's the MVP, right? Lol.
Also, shouldn't car enthusiasts be italicized together? The two words make one item, us. I understand you're trying to specify what type of enthusiast, but cars by itself looks weird, like a typo.AWD > RWD

Enthusio.com is the only thing that shows up when I search Enthusio through google, as listed. Adding the dot (.) really changes things.
I think this is a great idea and can see it becoming a very useful site. However, I think the name/domain url is going to hurt you, especially with somebody else already using the .com domain without the "." that you are using. Just my .02 cents.
Also, I'm glad to see that this will be supporting parts for others cars besides e30s!

Every good one or two word web name is taken, and sometimes it's more about links then a good name.
Enthusio is all good. I love what they are doing. Hats off!Originally posted by Matt-Bhey does anyone know anyone who gets upset and makes electronics?
