< RevisionSource > // Please Comment :)

Hi,

Thought I would use my first post here to show a website that I am currently working on. The website is known as (for the moment) RevisionSource, ill copy and paste a general description of the website below, which is displayed in the Help/FAQ Section (Still Unfinished like most of the website).

"After sieving through all the website results found from search engines and seeing how irrelevant they were, the idea of revisionsource came to mind. A way of categorising subjects in such a way that even a complete technophobe would be able to find the information that they require. From this the revisionsource idea evolved into a large database of GCSE and A-LEVEL subjects, with subcategories for an even more defined search. To make the database even more useful, features like user submitted links and a link rating system were implemented making revisionsource what it is today. "

At the moment i am currently just really on the starting stages below is a link of the current stage that i am at;

As you can see it is pretty simple and fast loading, this was a decision that I made because I know that many schools have extremely poor net connections and would have problems loading a high load graphic website.

I am soon going to start the PHP/SQL backend that will house the subject link database and that will produce many statistics that will be used throughout the website like Top10 Rated Links etc.

I felt that implementing a Visitor Submitted Links section would allow visitors to add links which would create a more versatile links base (All submitted links are filtered for safety reasons).

As soon as the PHP backend is sorted I was going to implement a member system which would be free and provide students and any other visitors to the site such features as "Favourites" were they would be able to add sites to there favourites so when they go home/school they can find the sites that they were looking at previous. I’m sure you can see that the possibilities that revisionsource could offer to students would help revision a tremendous amount.

So please tell me what you think of my ideas about revisionsource and you thoughts about revisionsource as a whole, also any suggestions about the look of revisionsource would be gratefully accepted.
