    Hi there,

    I have recently been finishing work on my new URL shortener. Here's the link: http://shk.me/

    It contains a few key features:

    • Password protected links
    • Reviews on links
    • API for programmers
    • Simple and easy to use interface
    • Registered users
    • Easy to understand statistics
    What do you guys think of it? It's not completely done, but it's fairly close. Feedback appreciated.

    The background is nice but if you add an image or a graphic art it would be more awesome.

    Well, I can understand what you're trying to achieve and I actually like your colour palette but you have one major problem. Your submission form doesn't look like a form :( It's just dark square bits. You have to improve the form design if you want to be successful.

    Get a 3D background for your form fields. Check this for inspiration: http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/inspiration/91-trendy-contact-and-web-forms-for-creative-inspiration/
    Pay attention to design number 12 - that grey bevel makes the form fields look 3D and you instantly recognize that this is a form!

    Change the color of the site to something more appealing... like blue, orange or something! Make it similar to bit.ly
    But your URL Shortener is working perfectly!

    The site looks good and functions well.

    It does lack the a corporate facade of plain generic tastelessness, but that's a good thing.

    Oh, the URL name is great!
