    Hey everyone so ive made a new file sharing website. The idea is to have a clean simple site not filled with ads like on some sharing sites ive been on i can hardly tell which button is the download link. Anyway your feedback will be appreciated. :)

    How does it work?
    What do I get? (in the About but could be more obvious especially as that nav is somewhat out of context and missable)
    Why pay when there's free ones elsewhere?
    What security?
    Why should I trust you?
    Who are you?
    What country are you based in?
    Where's your company registration info (as you are based in Ireland)?
    Can I put a self-destruct time limit on a file?

    You need address and explain the above for your users/customers.

    To take another angle:

    How do you plan to monetise the site if you are not ad-supported?

    There's a premium service with fees but it's easily missed as the links are not obvious enough (About top lhs/Premium in small bot nav text link).

    File space available 8.79609302221E+12 MB 4838.69726562 MB

    rite how can you download only by premium??

    or if you upload

    what do uploaders get/do they get paid for uploading or just you

    what kind of server is it run of

    what content do you have

    you should at least have a search panel


    really and i bet nearly everything in your database/server can be found on all other public file sharing sites.......:cool:

    The interface itself looks quite dated. For something with 'nextgen' in the domain name I'd have expected much more modern design/styling, leveraging CSS3 to the full.

    Even if you're not a CSS or design whizz there are some great generators that will do a lot of the work for you, like bhttp://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/ and http://www.cssbuttongenerator.com/


    Look up a few of the Smashing Magazine showcases for design inspiration.
