What is it with you Eastern Europeans and these over-CG'd websites?
OK, so some of it's quite fancy - but what purpose do the over-developed graphics and strange interface serve? The end-result, as far as I can tell, bears no resemblance to the kind of client work you've completed, so who's this for? Given your typical work, are you sure you're not out-selling yourselves? Putting off genuine customers? Could you really compete a site like this to a customer's picky requirements, in-time and in-budget? The diagram of your development path infers you do everything in one cycle, so I'm guessing not.
Early on, I saw Usability terminology thrown up - who for? I'm no Jakob Nielsen, but your onanistic interpretation of usability bears no resemblance to that of anyone else who makes supposedly usable websites.
I think this is just another CG artist's wankfest.
Also, I'm be curious to know just how well your Small Ad brands compete against incumbents like eBay, Gumtree and - mainly - all the regional UK newspapers. Fair enough, you've got some good domains there - but do you have the staff to admin, the will to deliver a good service to your customers? Or are you just grabbing search engine advertising real estate?
Although, I am fucking loving the 'how to deploy Python' video material - that shit's cracking me up.
Sorry, this just isn't my bag at all - it's like you've thrown a couple of (admittedly pretty talented) teenage Photoshop hacks into a cellar with a month's supply of Coca-cola and Doritos and said 'make me something cool', but without any further thought than that.
