My Friends,
I have just launched my website and am looking for what might improve it.
The site is Free PC Wallpaper and Personalized Desktop Backgrounds to help organize your PC Desktop and is a unique personalized wallpaper site. Here you can create a personalized wallpaper from your own photos and images. There is also a free pc wallpaper section where you can UPLOAD your own Art and PC wallpaper, including your website's URL. Yes, it needs more templates, but how can I better this site?

Thanks!!
Ken

    The blue header block looks like ads.
    All in all the header is not appealing to me, I cannot clearly understand what is pictured there. Also the square button Get Started is weird, try a bigger font.
    All in all I would suggest setting up a completely new up-to-date design. You have to work on it, but please do not be offended.

    Hi Ken,

    Nice creation! Good Luck!

    One obvious thing i noticed being a developer myself, that Favicon is missing,
    now a days of tabbed browsing, favicon is good way to brand and create
    recognition of your site's place among other 15 tabs opened

    It is very easy just to convert any image into .ico using this online free tool:
    Dynamic Drive- FavIcon Generator

    and then upload to your site, and link from your header to that image,
    instructions are on above page.

    ---

    Also for a new site, less hurdles to try and get the feel of the service, more penetration and initial growth possible as more people give try... do not know how feasible it is for your current development setup, but if you reverse the Register/Login process at least
    at the start, that would be great... I mean let them upload, let them try and play with
    the site... and ask for email only when they have their readymade wallpaper..ready to be downloaded...ask them email so you send there... a good example flow is of
    Zamzar - convert document, eBook, image, audio and video - free online file conversion site.. they allow you to use the tool, and just ask for the email in the process.... and give another benefit/reason to register on download (saying that they can save online our converted file for long time...)

    I am not saying you must do it... But I am throwing this in the thread just in case you need some ideas to get more people to try and use your service.

    Wishing you good luck with your project!

    Regards,
    Mohsin

      I dunno . . it seemed a bit busy to me. When I visit a website, I don't want to think. I want to get what I need first, then look around if I have time/inclination.

      I agree that the header looks more like a banner ad than a header. Maybe center the top navbar under the header instead of having it to the left?

      Not bad tho.
