    Please review our website www.getfiles.com.au. It’s been online now for about 3 weeks and we're trying to add content on a regular basis.

    Our main goal is to provide more accessible professional documents and forms and to educate people in the workplace, in more remote locations around the globe. We've experienced this first hand through our travels abroad and that’s our motivator. We'd like to keep it user friendly with a few fun things in it as well.

    Appreciate your thoughts on the idea and the usablity? If you have any files you think we'd like and you'd like to donate to the site to help others, please let us know. Or if you can help out by sharing this webiste with others, we'd really appreciate it. Thanks again

    You've definitely got usability down - very easy to navigate, and a nice clean design. Your content library also appears to be coming along nicely :)

    The only problem I see (and this is only my opinion - not to be taken too strongly ;) ) is the domain name. Getfiles makes it sound like you're an up and coming rapidshare - you've got a much more "precise" niche in office/educational documents.

    The .com.au can also be a little offputting - it's not a very popular top level domain to have. I think with a bit of rebranding and a .com/.net/.org domain name, and you could be on to a winner.

    Thanks for the replies, I have a couple of domains that redirect to the site i.e. allfiles.com.au and answers247.com.au but the .com was already taken. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks 'kingofsanda', I'd like to take the credit for the website script, but this was done by another professional company.

    It is still on the stage of graphic design .
    If you are going to code the graphic design to html/css, the font size should be larger .

    Appreciate your comments, are you refering to the font size on the menu bar/sidebar or the font size within the item description. Appreciate any other comments regarding usability and the website idea?
