ImageHDD Site review please .

simple AND fast!

Hi, at0m. Welcome to TWF! When you posted this thread you did see the Posting Agreement. We'd appreciate it if you would follow those guidelines and review a few other sites. Is there is some reason why you can't or don't want to do this please let us know.

Fast, and simple like tenchi_63 said, very nice!

I agree it is ffast and simple, however...

Ok, I get that it lets you upload images, but then what? Maybe explain that more to people before they put their images online. Will you provide a URL to view the images? Can anyone see them?

The only thing for more information is a not to send an e-mail, and it isn't even a link. I'd have open my mail program and then either type it all in by hand, or cut and paste it in the mail program, then go edit out the extra spaces. Also, looks like a possible typo, you have suppot@imagehdd.com, was this supposed to be support?

I like the little guy that pops up when you send a message. (even though I sent a blank one.)

I hit UPLOAD without any fields filled in, and got a page where the right side and bottom of the text area was missing the border images.

You might want to protect direct access to part of your site. (ie http://www.imagehdd.com/view/ comes up with missing image in the middle) You appear to do so on http://www.imagehdd.com/d1y2004 , say a HELLO message and then redirected to your home page.

Seems to be a very usefull site for those without hosting space, however a FAQ section would be very usefull to answer questions over usage, ownership of images once uploaded, being able to manage ones uploaded, any guarentee that you won't take uploaded images and sell them or offer them in a gallery somewhere for others to use, etc.

Plus you may want a disclaimer warning people about uploading copyrighted images.

From running the page through Dr. HTML validator (http://www.doctor-html.com): in your CSS, for INPUT and TEXTAREA, "Font list did not contain a match for Windows NT 4.0, Windows 95, Macintosh OS 7, Macintosh OS 8, Macintosh OS 9.1, Unix." (you specify only "tahoma, verdana", while for the rest you did "tahoma, verdana, helvetica, arial, sans-serif")

Also on every image it reported that nothing was set for your ALT's on images.

I want to thank all of you who reviewed my website !

I will surely participate in this forum .

Cheers !

Looks good! The overall interface is nice and clean and the colour scheme is pleasant, although predictable. However, I really don't like those red headlines. They clash with the soft blues. Try a less saturated red or maybe an orange instead. That green text doesn't work either, make it dark blue to blend in.

I'm finding the font size to be a little on the small side. Make sure that your viewers can comfortably read this. Remember who your target audience is. The less tech-savvy folks out there aren't used to staring at a computer screen as much as you and I are. And they may well be over 40 when the eyesight tends to weaken.

I tried uploading an image and it went really well. Very striaghtforward and easy to understand. I think the uncomplicated interface you've chosen really compliments this well. There's nothing here to confuse the user, which is something you really want to avoid with a target audience like this one. The only thing I'm not sure about is the "copy to clipboard" link. I'm not sure if people would necessarily know what the clipboard is. I would also make that a button or a more identifiable link so they'll know what it is.

Speaking of links, all links should be readily identifiable as links. The "bookmark" and "set as homepage" links on the main page look like ordinary text. Again, remember the audience. They'll be looking for links with an underline or buttons that look like what they're used to seeing. You might want to avoid styling those form buttons for this same reason. While I'm at it, I don't think those two links on the front page are necessary in the first place. Even the newbies know how to bookmark.

Except 'Copy to clipboard' everything has been changed ...Thanks Megan !

Will work on the 'Copy to clipboard' thing

I tried to make the site look good but i forgot about my audience . You are so right about this ...

Thanks Megan !
