Wallpaper site.

http://www.dimensionet.com/walls/index.php

Well I would like a review if possible including (but not limited to)

- Loading time
- Website Style
- If you think the User upload will be highly abused.

I used firefox and 1 MBps internet connection to view your ste.

First of all I would say the wallpapers are nice and I did downloaded a few . I could not comment on the loading time since my connection is faster than the average visitor's 56 Kbps that you should aim for.

IMHO, you need to revamp your site design because it's too simple. Black background does not suit the eye and you may want to put on some of the wallpaer on the front page so that it makes your user stays beyond the entry page.

Yes, I think the user upload will be abused by some crackers.

Okey, added a new wall paper section on the main page. Thanks for the other comments. Also do you think it would be worth adding a Random wall paper on the menu?

You mean on the left navigation? Maybe no.

in the banner at the top the contrast between the background and the text is too low. I'd make the text stand out a bit.

For me loading was alitttle slow not all pics up at once. I agree about the black background - I would go for a more fresh 2005 type look. ....Love the wallpapers though

Much better! Nice job. Try making the font in the header white. It still doesn't stand out very much.

Even the orig. looks better now:

One little thing- I would change the Land Wallpapers link to "Landscape..."

I would also add 2-4 pixels of padding to your text, to keep it from touching the edges. If they are in paragraphs you can easily do this in CSS by:

p {
padding: 2px;
}

Loading was a bit slow, but not so much that I left the site. Pictures are great, but you should probably moderate the upload function.

The site is pretty. Thought it took little time to download. Ofcourse but that time I was on a dial-up. But dont ignore dial-up users all over the world. Many of them are always interested in wallpapers. I get traffic from all over the world for my maria sharapova blog. Thats why I only kept thumbnails on the blog. By the way, let me know when you would like to exchange the links, because I would like to only exchange with wallpaper sites.

Its hard to make a wallpaper site for you cheapers , to many images. But okeydokie, I have a few tricks up my hair. And now would be a cool time to exchange.

you can always improve on your design. My designs have always been notoriously terrible, , but I know what looks good, and who better to tell you what's wrong than fellow webmasters who understand the asthetics/seo balance. I put more emphasis on the latter side, but I still like to think I know what looks good, even if I can't reproduce it myself.
