So about 2 months ago i decided that i wanted to make a website, i could't come up with an idea but after much thinking, and well after a while i decided i wanted to make a website with a lot of source snippets that people can use whenever they need, for any reason they might need it. So i made WebCodeBase.com, and now i am wondering what i can do to attract more users to come to this website. So, any suggestions will be accepted, and i will do everything i can do to fix the website. Webcodebase.com - Online Source snippets Database Thanks

Well i kinda liked the idea that you are trying to have a clean look but are sure you're using the right font?

The "register" and "forgotten password" links are too small plus the overall appearance of the font on the front page did not please me.

Please do find a logo mate!

I would also advise you to have a a few more latest news articles on the right than just two. Visitors want to know what it is that is happening and if its of any interest to them than to browse through your sections.

Overall if im to be frank: 3.5/10

I'd have to say that I reckon a few of these reviews seem a bit harsh in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, the site is clearly not perfect (and what sites are?), but I reckon the combination of TLD and idea of the site - along with the fact that there's something on there already, whereas often projects end up fading quickly - this certainly has a lot of potential. My real question would have to be about what sort of user you're trying to appeal to most: the casual developer, who wants to quickly and easily add some sort of additional functionality (or whatever) to their site without really caring how it works; the lazy coder, who could probably do something similar, if not the same, given a bit of time but can't really be bothered to make it, most likely due to more of a lack of understanding of programming than time; or the newbie programmer, who's trying to cobble together a site and wants to read through your snippets and work out how they work.

Sure, you could take the blunderbuss approach and aim for all three, but I'm sure you'll end up picking one as a speciality in the end. One question I forgot to ask is about the registration idea. I assume people register in order to submit their own snippets? I haven't got time right now to trawl through the site, so sadly will have to make do with what I remember seeing there, but I can't for the life of me remember seeing mention of a user's name in reference to any of the snippets. Do users get credit for the code they submit? It does really only seem fair. Do feel free to correct me if this statement is wrong, though.

Overall, I'd have to say the site's got great potential, just make sure you utilise it to the full if you can. Also, I notice you've got ads at the very bottom of the screen? Someone with more experience of advertising could probably talk about monetising your site in more detail, but aren't GoogleAds...what are they callled...pay per click? If no one clicks the ads, you don't get paid? Probably not a bad scheme at the moment, but I'd likely suggest having a marginally more "active" advertising scheme if you plan on making any actual cash. Not necessarily now, while your site's still developing, but eventually it might not be a bad idea...

Other than that, I'd have to say I agree with africa in general tweaking of the site. A logo is a must, and a bit of fine tuning is definitely needed with some of the fonts. Still, I'll be a bit more generous and say that, as an amateur coder, your site's certainly something that could be very useful to people and give it a 5/10 at the moment, with easy potential to be a 6 or 7 if the pages are smartened up a bit and given a bit more of a professional edge...personal opinion, only, of course.

I really like the idea of your site. It would really help people looking to add useful features to their site but aren't skilled enough to code it themselves.
As alot of people have said perhaps further explanation of the codes is required because some of the people wouldn't know how to use the codes you've provided. (Although I see you have "comments" enabled so they could probably ask questions there if they didn't understand)

The layout is clean and well organized but a logo is important and some of the font sizes are a bit irregular. The headings of your "updates" in the sidebar are almost as big as your website title. Some minor tweaking of these issues would make the site look cleaner.
A search function would probably be useful too

Still I think the idea of the site is really cool and it could really take off if you keep it up!

I like your site. It looks good.
You might need some spam protection, however, it looks like you've already got bots leaving you some unwanted comments.

You may want to fix the ads. In Firefox 2, Mac, the ads show up on top of the content. Other than that, I would suggest a logo and some HTML tutorials. Other than those few things I would give your site an 8/10. Good luck!

I want to say that I like what you did with the content of the site. If this was a content rating, it would be higher, but I wanted to rate you on the design and the content. For now the content seems okay, but you need more information and especially explain what each line of the code does. I would make it more of a tutorial site, and increase the theme of the front site. Include updates on new code snippets, and make premium scripts and snippets. I believe the best CMS for this site would either be a Blog based on Wordpress, with a nice theme, under the Ianis Glass, it makes it look computer like, and techy, and it has the Windows Vista, style built in. I would also consider a forum, such as esoTalk, or PHPBB3, nothing too heavy but something light, or a chat/shout box so people can communicate instantly. Make the scripts with explanations. To get more viewers, make it a guide to learning a scripting language from the beginning, and then put it on Search Engines, and market in forums, in your signatures. I like the content, very much and I plan to use those CSS Elements. Thanks for showing it off, and hope my rating helps. And even though I am opposed to number ratings, I'll give it to you 7.23/10. You lost a lot of points on design, but make it up with worthwhile content. I hope you continue, and if possible to keep it strictly made by you and Mods on your forum.
