    Hey everyone, our site (www.gifninja.com) has been live for about a week now. The site is based on a collection of 3 online web tools for making video or picture gifs for myspace or forums or w/e you really want. I think this site has TONS of potential and I have been getting good feedback from it. Soon there will be a voting/ranking section where you can view all the gifs others have put up for voting on and rank them.

    Please give you comments on

    Look

    The adsense

    The idea

    And how I can spread the word and get the traffic I think it deserves.

    Neat idea.

    Only my thoughts for what its worth but I think the whole of the page looks a bit anemic! Its a bit bland for an idea that is anything but bland.

    Hope you understand where I'm coming from.

    But there again, I like contrasts, so it could just be me!

    the placement of the AD is good, though the Title URL is kinda bland, you may wish to change the Title URL color to #0000CC

    Yeah, I hear what you are saying. It's kinda tough thinking of a fresh design. Maybe we'll change up the color scheme a little bit. I still like to keep things clean.

    Look - it is ok but with your adsense taking up most of the space it looks
    a little bit spammy
    adsense - I would move it into "top banner", your banner is empty, use it
    for something
    the idea - not sure how you want to make money, most people would
    probably want to use something like Adobe or ULead to create
    their gifs. Subscription? With Adsense you'll nee alot of traffic
    to keep this site afloat.

    implementation - move javascript to a separate file, do you have to use .NET?


    This is my honest opinion.

    Like with many sites, the grey colour scheme is bland. It does, however, help the gifs and ads (on the left) stick out. So, pick your poison. As for the content: I didn't know people still made, liked, used animated gifs.
