    I think you need to have a logo or something other than just plain text. At first I thought the leaderboard ad was the logo.

    I am kind of partial to the blue, possibly because the ads have blue borders.

    Yeah, you certainly need a logo. Well, I happen to be a graphic designer charging $30 for a logo, but as a way of helping, I'd charge only $5.

    PM me if you're interested, and I'll give you a link to my portfolio.

    Maybe adding images to the home page? When I look at the site I don't get the immediate impression that it is an image hosting site. One thing I've learned is that you have to hit the visitor over the head with you site's message.

    execuse me, what do you mean by adding images to the homepage ?

    the site has a logo already, and a picture o the sun as a watermark in the bachground

    maybe the images didn't load at your end :rolleyes:

    Things load fine on my end. I can see your sun.

    Here are some examples of what I'm talking about:
    http://photobucket.com
    http://tinypic.com
    http://www.picturetrail.com

    They send an immediate message to visitors that this site is about photos one can upload and share.

    Plus I would also look at shortening our intro paragraph on the home page.

    I don't know what is going on with the font but it is difficult to read. I can't even see the middle horizontal bar of capital F. Otherwise it looks nice and clean.

    What a great service you're running.

    However, I also find the font far too small to read comfortably, and also I agree entirely with Jawinn, it could do with a few more images to indicate what the site is about.

    Also I just noticed a spelling error on your tools page - "Help use grow and stay free by placing our link into your site
    and any websites or forums you visit.." - should be help us :p

    Also I think using different fonts all over the place looks a little messy. Other than that - great :)

    The site's design is good overall, but I hope you can use a better and standard font, comic sans is too informal.

    and i agree to the previous post that maybe you can add more images to make it look like an image hosting site at first glance.

    thanks "jawinn,Ottomund,Eskarina and mastermemei" for your latest tips

    typo in tools page fixed :p and font size increased ( u can see it in action atm )

    in the first place i didn't want to add much images to the site since i've a fast hosting and i didn't want to waste the speed of the site

    but after getting more supporter for adding some images, the suggestion will be applied but will be pending for the next version 2.2 of the site

    thanks all for the feedback, more suggestions are welcomed

    I agree 100% ;)

    I very rarely read my own sites thoroughly because I'm always concentrating on other things, but I always get friends to give it the once over which often points out typos and spelling errors, which is really helpful because I utterly loathe reading the same thing over twice. Maybe I need cognitive therapy because I really should be over it by now :eek:
