http://www.userbarcreator.net Would like to hear your input on this. Suggestions and comments are welcome. Thnx,
Cant open your Help page. Also, I would have loved to see an About section since I didnt know what a "userbar" means.
Its basically just a tool for our online imagehost. http://www.pix-hoster.com We decided to buy a domain name for it but it is still part of pixhoster. We will add an about section and link the Help page to it.
Really cool, I might use this in the future, what I would suggest is to stop bombarding the viewer with options on what to do, it makes it seem to complicated and people may click away. Have basic function boxes for creating the userbar, then have additional things that can be added. Otherwise some fantastic tools, Nice One Mate!
I liked the idea, though I too didn't understand "user bar" -- but once I got to the tool, I realized it was a graphic that I might want to place at the top of the page. I think there are some inconsistencies in the user interface. I tried the "Advanced" settings and had the following issues: 1) There seemed to be 3 separate set of options with a preview user bar next to each. I didn't understand why there were 3. 2) I played around with the first set of options -- edited the text, positioned the writing in a different spot, changed the size of the text, then I happened to hit enter. This took me to a page with my created user bar and the option to download or go back and change a few settings. When I clicked on go back and change a few settings, I went back to the very first page where I selected basic or advanced. I selected advanced, I had lost what I entered before. grrr........ I think you should have someone who isn't familiar with the tool use it while you can observe them using it. Not everyone will be as careful as I tried to be about what confused them. Most people will just tell you they found it "confusing" and you won't know what they did or where they got stuck. Good luck.
Thank you I will look into these things. Write an about page and try to fix the change settings button (think it has to do with some browser issue). Very useful feedback
great tool... very help full for directory owners for making a quick designs... also i suggest if possible make options for other banner sizes... and yes please look at the design of the site.. i mean make it more appealing and easy....
It is a good tool Works fine for me. For the site design, try making the logo larger.. and change your adsense link color to sky blue.
The site is useful and clean, it may be a good idea to add a wizard style step by step interface for the user bar creation.
