We all may know what a slideshow is and looks like, but how about a demo of what YOUR slideshow looks like? Does it make sense to describe your product using your product (have a slideshow that guides me to how to use it)?

Also, for a site that deals with slideshows and images, I would expect more care to be put into the design. Your logo is very pixelated, you have a square color behind your buttons, etc.

These may seem like minor things, but I think you'd be amazed at what some care in design can do in attracting users.

You don't have to go out and get a designer and spend lots of money, but maybe get a theme from themeforest (under $20) or try to find something free.

Yup, we'll make it all pretty and attractive soon...just wanted to get it working first.
Good points here.

Programmers and Designers should be one in the same.
