Update: Thanks everyone! PostedVia.com has gone live!
I'm just about ready to roll out an update to my site StatusVia that will greatly improve the experience to end users. Along with that I decided to update the template. I wanted the simplicity of the previous template but with more content and room for improvements and additions.
The first thing I did was explain what the site is directly under the tool itself, something which was not available unless you clicked a tiny "what is this?" link in the footer of the last template. I also added more contrast between the tool/content and the background. Instead of using the default select lists to select the delivery method, I opted for a custom solution that's very similar but easier to navigate. It is near impossible to style select boxes since they are OS specific window controls.
I'm looking for criticism specifically of the helpful and constructive variety. Remember that this site is marketed almost exclusively to the average Facebook user. Keep this in mind when suggesting content.
