Re: www.thefilegarage.com - the world's ultimate file sharing website!

Hey guys,

I decided not to change the template of the website, because it's way to hard to integrate it. This is mainly because i used the masterpage functionality in asp.net 2.0 to design my pages, and i only used minimal css to allow cross browser compability.

However, what i did is i removed the signup form from the main page, and replaced that with "Featured files" The reason why i added the signup form in the main page in the beginning, was to get people to sign up. But i guess that technique didnt work. After 3 days of customizing my metta tags, and sending links everywhere liike crazy, i only got 1 new member....

So, what do u guys think of this addition?

Re: www.thefilegarage.com - the world's ultimate file sharing website!

I've worked in the market for a couple years, and have had my share of failures and successes. I can guarantee that a flat design with Times New Roman font, like something from 1994, won't have a substantial hook on the market. With all of the top-notch sites these days, anyone who's ready to open their wallet will be looking for visually appealing web sites. No matter how well coded and friendly your service is, you won't rake in the green unless it's something that will catch the attention of the market. Otherwise you will only acquire the occasional investor and petty cash. If you want the big money, create something that will get everyone who stumbles across it, to remember it.

Spelling counts, too. The term is "bandwidth", not "brandwidth".

Well, if it's ad-funded, and he's referring to how much ad content he can pump across to your browser in a given time frame, 'brandwidth' makes sense.

Thanks for the spelling error point.

I always thought it was brandwidth, and not bandwidth. I was hesitating between the two.
