www // searchcarousel // com & co//uk

This is a website that I built as a joint project with a friend of mine. The site, really is pretty awesome.

The basic concept is that you have a "carousel" of your favourite websites above a simple search box. You can then enter a search into the search box, and depending on which logo you you selected, the search is then placed onto that brands website. ie.

Select Amazon:

Enter "computer" into the search box, you will see that you are taken through to the search result page for "computer" on the Amazon site.

Now select the Play.com logo - you will then see that if you click search, you are taken through to the search result page of Play.com.

It really is quite intuitive once you have a play around with the site.

In addition to the standard functionality, you will see that you are able to customise your "carousel". This means that you can drag and drop your favourite sites into the carousel and remove the sites that you do not want to be on your site. The great thing about this, is it is all done through a cookie, and as such no registration/logging in is required.

It is a great site, and it is a site that we are very proud of, however due to work commitments, we do not have time to really push on and market it. As such we are now looking to move it on to a new home.

Please PM me if you require any further information or if you would like to make an offer.

Thanks

Al

******** One feature I forgot to mention is that when a searcher searches on the likes of Play.com, an affiliate cookie can be dropped, which is how we forsee the site making revenues. ************

Not much use to me as I can't do sites very well, I use a site creator but just had a play on there and it's unique and a novelity, one thing I can say is that it's seems pretty quick at taking you to where you want to go.

Does seem quite a good idea, I havn't seen a site like this before :cool:
 
Thanks Doodlebug, glad you like the site! It seems to work very well, and we have had great feedback from the people who have tried it so far.
 
Thanks for the PM's so far guys. I will keep the site for sale until the end of the week, and then will be removing.

Thanks

Al
