    I posted my website www.upload-fast.com, right here a long time ago. The users here gave some great reviews of what I should implement and work on. I have just gotten around to the website and made some major and minor changes which are below:

    Major Changes:




    Small Changes:

    • Added better ToS
    • Added a better spam proof contact form
    • Allowed SWF files


    In your opinion, what would be another great feature to add? Remember, there is not going to be any user accounts here or anything database related.

    The whole point of the website is to allow fast uploads. Please help me by reviewing my website.

    New website: http://www.upload-fast.com
    Old website: http://www.upload-fast.com/old

    Note- the ads for some reason are not loading right now. If you check the source code, you will see that they're there. Something must be wrong with bidvertiser.

    Give it some color. Maybe a dark pink, or a light blue. Green wouldn't work because then it would look like some recycling thing.

    It would also be great if we could create user accounts. But maybe that is not the purpose of this website.

    Other then that I think it is great! Very useful for when you need to post a picture in a forum. Infact, there should be a button in the editor that opens that page in a popup window, lets you upload an image, then click insert and the window closes and the code is inserted for you.

    I will try to integrate some other color with gray on the site. I agree, it looks boring just plain gray.

    I don't get what you're trying to say about the popup window. Do you mean like a toolbar to allow one to upload an image anywhere?

    Great feedback btw.

    You site looks quite decent and the design is very plain, You will need to work more on the design and the colors. You can also work on the logo make it colorful and more sleek. Rest your site is garbage free :) Good Luck.

    Consider using some more colors and a better logo. The current logo is too simple. I think your previous "upload-fast.com "(the caption beside the logo) design was better than the current one.

    Yes, I'll keep this threat updated when I make the changes.

    I guess I got lazy with the logo. I'll just make a new one. I know I can make logos 100 x's better than that.
    Thanks for the great feedback guys!

    I like the simple presentation of the site, but think it could use just a touch of color. (Think Google)

    Why would I want to upload my photos? I imagine people who end up at your site understand the niche good enough to know why, but I didn't. Can I share them, sell them, store them?

    Hope that helps.

    apostars: great idea with the image resizing option! Working on it right now.

    TriviaMan: I understand what you're saying. I will see if I can for some reason take the layout up a notch.
    This will include the layout that it has right now, but also a header, better linkbar, and content.

    I like both, but the new one is better... i'd say maybe give it an orange colour? or maybe a bit of a subtle colour so it's not so dull

    Very Very basic..
    Some upload scripts are good to be basic because ppl want to get in there and get done what they need to get done.
    But I think making it a little more apealing to the eye might keep people comming back.

    Okay, I have finished three major things:
    • The layout with colors and a new logo
    • An option to share the image on a social bookmarking website
    • Added code for share link to go to the landing page.
    • Cleaned the php code

    Now, there was a point at which I was thinking of adding the option of resizing the image. However, there's no account making option anywhere to do this, so basically anyone could edit the image and probably vandalize it.

    What I plan on doing in the future is adding width="" and height="" or style="width:px;height:px" to add to the website code and BB code.

    Please continue helping me on the issue on what to change and/or keep.

    Edit: You may have the old site cache. Just press ctrl + f5 to do a "hard" refresh.
