I agree with krates,
1st of all the concept is pretty original;
2nd the navigation is relatively easy to use.

With the original content you may want to have a blog section that can be updated regularly.
I know it sounds annoying but you have to think about your market, and how overly busy college students can be.

I'm not sure how to suggest increasing the number of registered users.
Honestly this is the type of venture where paid advertising is key.

Looking around it was difficult to see how you profit from this type of site which is probably my fault because I looked around but maybe not deeply enough.

I would suggest that if paid advertising is out of your means you may want to set up tables at universities around your region (at least) that way you could boost awareness by having a physical presence.

Hello,

My review is part of the requirements for an Internet Programming course that I am taking.

First, this is a great idea for a web site!

All the features are complete and functional.

I think some places to improve the user return of your site might be to ugprade some of the look at feel aspects to reflect some of the post web 2.0 styles that are being used by sites like 37 signals and boagworld.com

For example the registration form has sort of a compact look, with regular font thats been on the internet forever. It might be an interesting idea to try spicing it up a bit.

Another idea might be to allow students to join "groups" of people from hee same college. This might catalyst a growth for a community aspect of the site.

Great job on this site so far, hope that it is successful,
Alex

First, I think your graphic

scaiferw — Thu, 09 Apr 2009 02:20:19 +0000

First, I think your graphic design is brilliant, very nice. Clean, uncluttered, easy to find what I want. (If that's a template, I'd love to know which one.)

I'd change the copyright notice to text so that you can use the PHP date("Y") function to keep the date current from year to year. You don't want to have to change the graphic every year, and it's already out of date.

Your problem is probably a chicken and egg thing; you can't get the books added until you get people to sign up, and they don't bother to sign up because there are so few books.

People aren't going to bother to register their college. If there's nothing on the site to satisfy their need, they're going to move right along. Register the colleges yourself, or hire some kid to do it for you.

Also, why restrict book listings to one school? They can be shipped anywhere in a few days or less. Show the books across the board and you'll have books available in every school listed on your site.

I think you have a great idea very well presented. Your obstacle is developing a critical mass to get the ball rolling. You should seriously investigate an affiliate partnership with an existing online seller so you can sell their books through your site, at least until things pick up speed. You might be able to make that transparent to the users. Get in touch with the major sellers, by phone or direct email. What you need is beyond the limits of traditional affiliate marketing arrangements.

Good luck with this, I really think this could work out if you can get schools and books on there.

Cool design. Your website

Overall I think the site is

Overall I think the site is very easy to navigate, I like the color scheme and the overall design. I would suggest eliminating the launched date, and perhaps moving the navigation from the bottom of the page to the top.

Great feedback from all of
