Simple Scripts Development

[bhimpfen]

I decided to change th appearance of Simple Scripts Development and also how the website works.

The front page now contains a software blog, instead of the scripts being all on one page. The scripts are now in categories section of the webpage, making it easier for individuals to navigate through all the scripts.

This seems to be working, though I still have a lot of modifing to do. Page views have increased by more then 16000, and downloads are going up by more then 65%.

Ill be adding more scripts to it. The idea is to have Simple Scripts Development be like HotScripts, but these scripts will be created, modified or project managed by us.

All scripts also have a project page, which gives a bit more insight into the script: version, requirements for using the scripts, project status, license, etc...

Since Simple Scripts Development is a open source application development company, i decided to put up banners. They don't seem to be that bothering to end users, and plus they are supporting the project to stay online.

Let me know what do you want to see on this site. What should I add to make it better then other script directories? Let me know anything that can help Simple Scripts Development out.

hey - been lookin about your sites, some serious stuff going on there (way over my head)
So maybe there could be more support for us ideots who only know html css.
Id like to have some cool things on my future website (like a contact form & embedded news thing on the front page) but id have no idea how to do it!
Thanks

Its very simple and very clean, thus fast loading which is always a good thing. See the left hand side where the 'categories' are...Maybe consider somehow adding a visual stop to it. What i mean is when you click on PHP or something, the text in the navigation slowly drifts into the text of the descriptions etc.

Secondly, you have a massive empty unused area down the bottom and it adds a scrollbar, where theres no real need for it. Maybe you could shorted that area till theres no need for the auto scrollbar - then it will look much nicer. And if you need space to add new downloads etc then make a table or iframe with a scrollbar then add as much as you need.

PS. How does your click-rewards system work? I went to your site (of course) but where do i keep clicking a few million times?
