Just looked at the site - lots of flashy visuals, dreadful layout. In IE 5 you get three-quarters of a page of ads for the service provider, titles and links, then a two-inch bar at the bottom of the page, split in two, with one side apparently blank and the other apparently another ad. Only by scrolling down these little blocks can you actually get to any information - it took me a while to work this out, and when I finally did there was hardly anything there.

I'm writing my comment here in the hope that the makers of the site see it, because I couldn't find any feedback capability on the site itself.

My advice would be - think about how people would want to use the site - they want information and an easy interface - shrink the ads if possible, make the links to companies and information visible. Visuals are great, but you need content as well - team up with a writer/researcher or two and get some stuff up there. And see what other groups are doing - www.corporatewatch.org.uk, www.corpwatch.org, www.transnationale.org, www.essential.org, etc.
