Would like some reviews about my new website

    Recently, me and a friend of mine have put together an URL shortening website, called Shrtnd.com. And I came here, to DP forums to find out your own opinions about it. Of course, if you ask me, I could easily say that the site is the best, there no others like etc. But this would be rude, so this why I want to let others decide if it's a good, useful service, or not. It's better this way;)

    Would appreciate your reviews. Thanks!

    A few things I'd change - But this is only my opinion.

    Change that lime green its very hard on the eyes.
    Create a brandable logo rather than just a text title.
    Change that short 2.0... looks too basic, needs something funky to match the 2.0 trend.

    This is just my opinion. I wish you the best with your new site.

    Below are just my comments.....

    It might be better to consider changing the bacground of the color as readers could find it difficult to see the text...
    The header or logo could be looked into it for improvement. You might also want to include some useful articles about shortening the URL and so on....

    Cheers!

    REALLY BRIGHT! I had to click out of it right away. Also since there are literally THOUSANDS of shortening sites what makes yours so special? From my quick glance at it... nothing much.

    Great choice on the domain name it couldn't be more perfect. The green just doesn't seem to be working for me though.

    I would use black text, and not gray to increase contrast. It's hard to read.

    Very radiant colours, nice clean design and layout and the site loaded fast.
