    Hey everyone so ive made a new file sharing website. The idea is to have a clean simple site not filled with ads like on some sharing sites ive been on i can hardly tell which button is the download link. Anyway your feedback will be appreciated. :)

    How does it work?
    What do I get? (in the About but could be more obvious especially as that nav is somewhat out of context and missable)
    Why pay when there's free ones elsewhere?
    What security?
    Why should I trust you?
    Who are you?
    What country are you based in?
    Where's your company registration info (as you are based in Ireland)?
    Can I put a self-destruct time limit on a file?

    You need address and explain the above for your users/customers.

    +1 to tricky D's comments.

    To take another angle:

    How do you plan to monetise the site if you are not ad-supported?

    There's a premium service with fees but it's easily missed as the links are not obvious enough (About top lhs/Premium in small bot nav text link).

    File space available 8.79609302221E+12 MB 4838.69726562 MB

    what are these numbers for those of us too lazy to get our calculators out?

    rite how can you download only by premium??

    or if you upload

    what do uploaders get/do they get paid for uploading or just you

    what kind of server is it run of

    what content do you have

    you should at least have a search panel


    really and i bet nearly everything in your database/server can be found on all other public file sharing sites.......:cool:

    The interface itself looks quite dated. For something with 'nextgen' in the domain name I'd have expected much more modern design/styling, leveraging CSS3 to the full.

    Even if you're not a CSS or design whizz there are some great generators that will do a lot of the work for you, like bhttp://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/ and http://www.cssbuttongenerator.com/


    Look up a few of the Smashing Magazine showcases for design inspiration.
