Let me compare you to http://www.mycoolbutton.com/ http://www.mycoolbutton.com/ which is what I used a few weeks ago when I needed a pretty image button.
What I like better there:
* Their button has a really sharp glossy look. Yours are nice, but not as nice (that I noticed, at least).
* They have more fonts than you do.
What I like better about yours:
* Lots more control over most of the details. Notably, the custom color gradients.
* The showcase of editable examples. Very nice.
* Less clutter on the page. Though I certainly would not blame you if you put up ads or a tip-me button.
Although I think your extensive options are good, it's sort of a power-user interface. You might consider a simpler interface for visitors who want something very quick and easy. Or, you could expand your gallery of examples, perhaps even add a sidebar of examples to the front page.
All in all, very well done. Congratulations and thank you.
- whughes 18y agoMy opinion is that despite the extra options and control, the OP's site is much easier to use than mycoolbutton.com. Most of the options there are hidden by default, making piecing together their functionality pretty difficult. This is in addition to the clutter -- with my 'ad blinders' on, I can easily confuse some legitimate UI elements with ads.
- cottsak 18y agoi'd like it a little more simple too. perhaps maybe title sections that expand (like "Border?"). also, maybe more visual aids for the options - like images to show the result for a particular selection. this might speed up the use of the system.
