(Re)Introducing Z-Up

z-up

After several weeks of planning, failed designs, and frustrations, I finally finished redesigning Z-Up. It has a slick new design, as well as some performance improvements…

  • The design is a lot easier on the eyes.
  • Nothing gets in the way of uploading. I’ve cut all the extra pages out, as they were of no use.
  • No ads! The previous version had ads, but they weren’t earning anything. Google Ads barely get any clicks. If you’re going to put ads on your site, go with a quality provider like The Deck or Fusion ads.
  • Bulletproof design. Zoom the text up as much as you like- all the buttons will look just as nice.
  • Meticulously designed favicon. I actually made it from scratch, pixel-by-pixel, instead of just lazily resizing the logo.
  • Modern technology- the site uses CSS3 and <button>.

For comparison I have here the old design and the new design, respectively.

    I saw the design early and really hoped you’d finish it. Great work.

    Wow, love the design.
    I’m gonna be using it from now on to host my files.

    Good job! Which font did you use for the logo?

    I used Museo. It’s available here, for free.
