New file uploading site

[benc811]

I will soon be developing a free file uploading site. Its got the basics, Ads, free uploading, paid subscriber, etc etc... What I am wondering is, should I go for any kind of graphical interface or just plain boring(fast) white pages? The graphics would obviously attract more young people. And the plain would attract more direct developers. Does anyone know which would be better to market towards, I can't decide wich would be a larger market.

Thanks in advance Ben.

A happy medimum would be good, a white background but livin it up with useful images etc, not all plain text.

Thats what i figured would be best. Do you have any ideas about designs it needs to stand out from the compitition. There are already a few file hosting services out there. I thought maybe a manila folder with the links being the tabs and the stuff in the main area.
