New and upcoming college exam bank, free to sign up, obviously lol, and indexable/searchable uploaded database.

Still working on CP, browsing/searching, and still need to edit the sign up/upload forms b/c the ones up are just default, and need to customize them.

Just wondering about the design theme, and if the colors are pleasing. Also if I should incorporate a solid background/image background/gradient background along the sides outside of the main table. Also does the banner fit the page alright? and load fast enough on everyones PC? It is extremely small, so it should. THX

EDIT: 12:16am

Added some page info on main page, along with future projects and current info. THX again if you give it a look, and comment on its design and usability!

Thanks everyone, King icon_up.gif

Search works perfect, but just deleted a snippet of code by accid and trying to go through and find now, only thing that wont work till tonight, but before 20 min ago worked fine..opps lol stiil gotta fill in help and stats, but once again non important to overall site for now, doing tonight once back from skool, which in now. and LASTLY refreshing the main categories tonight so the subjects fit on one line in their headings, and fixing the commas and alignment tonight too.but thats last thing to do..smile.gif

the F for the Fresh Exams needs to be a different color than the background. If i wasn't searching for the F i would have never know it was there.

the use of Profanity...... Get rid of it. More people are turned away from a site for that reason than stay. (about page)

you ask for phone number, age to sign up. On a site like this asking for those items can turn away some people. Also please PLEASE make it so the information stays if i don't input a field but hit submit.

other than that its ok

Hey again,

alright,

1.) i changed the color of the main F, actually looks better and def stands out more
2.) totally forgot about the profanity in about us page, havent updated it in about a month, so put a final about us page that will be good for the duration of the site.
3.)ive been debating the sign up info for a while, and just havent had the time to change it, but im finally changing it tonight to only email and password, it will def. attract more users when req. less info.
4.) also tonight going to change it so the info stays after hitting, so when it tells you fields are empty, old info is still there, but since im going only to have email/password, ill have the email stay, yet password refresh.

thanks!

All of your text has space comma. It's throwing off all of the spacing. Since everything is a list, do you really need commas? These are not sentences so I wouldn't think that it would be required. Maybe use a colon for separation.

Other than that, your site looks great!

yes the subcatagory and subject alignment is what im doing tonight. im gonna clear the db for that, and reenter the main subjects, first of all removing business and mergin it into economics, so that sociology on the bottom fits into the last row, and isnt the akward ugly duckling on bottom lol secondly im going to shorten some of the main subjects such as foreign language so it fits in one line, and the commas im going to actually take out as well.

have been meaning to do all of this for some time now, but with uconn summer classes and other stuff, just started having some time recently. But by tomm morn that should be taken care of. thanks no2pencil!

1. Don't forget to spell check! Fruitless is spelled "Futless" on your about page wink2.gif

2. What does the stats page do? I clicked it and there wasn't any content. Will you be adding something here?

3. I love taking practice exams, but didn't join because of the amount of info you requested to join. Should just be a valid email address, and choose user name/password feature, imo.

Reminds me of a spam page you'd find myspace layouts on. Doesn't look professional enough for me to enter info into. Just my opinion.

Hey, i promise last site check for exam site here

www.freshexams.com

Finally...

1. Search, browse, donate, request all done.
2. Signups minimized to email/pass, can add extra info to account if desired in account info.
3. recent exams clickable to their description page.
3. starting to load db with exams, have couple hundred to jumpstart.
4. request feature just finished, users can fill. may change colors here, but thats all.

while it may not be the "catchiest" site ever, its fast as fook, has everything needed for a site like this, is simple, yet gets the browsing/searching job very efficiently.

finally think done...lemme know if you find any glitches
thanks guys n gals!

Lets see, looks fairly similar tot he previous version, in fact you still have some spelling errors (like futless instead of ffruitless on your about page).

Other thatn that it looks okay other than we can't really look around the site until we have made an account (which will cost you members in the long run). Additionally it seems a little silly to make people register to donate money to the site.

Looks pretty good.
