Well I've totally revised my image hosting website here, and I'm looking for the critique on the new version.

It includes a fully new design, and totally new code (All PHP OOP, I might add). Another new thing is that it spreads hosted images out into different directories, which provides faster loading.

The address is JpegKeg.com.

All suggestions and comments welcome!

:hi: Nick,

It looks professional. Clean and smart. IMHO, I think the feeling of JpegKeg.com is too smart for daily use website. JpegKeg.com is almost celebrity models. Friendly atmosphere like comedians is preferred. Perhaps caused by contrast of deep blue and light gray. JpegKeg logo is excellent. :]

Site looks great. When I looked at it I tried to put myself in the shoes of a user that has never been to your site and doesn't know what it is about.

With that in mind:

I don't see right off the bat what your site is about. My eyes skip from the logo, to "the rules" and "Let's go Keggin". Now me being the lazy user, I'm not going to read your rules, but I see a blank space to type so I go ahead and type soemthing in, I hit the "enter" button and nothing happens so I get disapointed and leave the site.
------

Now, coming from a someone who "gets it" I see what you are trying to do and it looks really good. The one thing that is missing is something under the jpegkeg logo that says "upload your photos to the keg" or something like that. Just a one liner to tell the "user" what they are doing on your site. Even "free image hosting" like I see in ie the tab would be helpful.

Also, I don't know what the "keg it" button does. I put in the image file name into the search space and hit enter and nothing happened, then I hit keg it and nothing happened. The "browse" button seems to work, but not the "keg it" button. If you could change the script so that if a user enters something and hits the "enter" key, either their file gets uploaded or a message pops up telling them what to do, you should retain more users.

Overall I would say you have a good name and a nice site, and with a few tweaks and the right promotion, you may do very well :)

Agree with Neobodhi, I experience exactly what he has written about in the first part, i'm lazy and not very knowlegeable, so it took me quite alot to guess what is your site about.
Another thing, if you host images, couldn't you put one of these on your main page to make it catching? Just a suggestion.
And, in the end, the idea of it is terrific. I've never seen anything like this before!

Thanks guys, I'll try to fix it for new users :)

As for the frontpage image, I don't want to do that right now. This is just in case someone uploads something inappropriate, and we don't have time to get it deleted ;)

I like it. The color scheam is very nice and it is very professional looking. Somethig that can be changed is you need some unique features. I've seen everything on there and more on 500 other sites. If you plan to publicize you site you must put some new things for people to look at.

As for features, I really don't know what to add :P
