The goal of creating a file sharing site

Despite the fact that file sharing sites exist for free file sharing, there are many ways to monetize such a site. They often use advertising and the sale of premium accounts.

One of the customers set us the task to create such a site. In this case, we intend to tell you what the creation of a file sharing site consists of.

Goals:

Implement a site search that allows you to find shared files.
Integrate various payment systems. This will give users the opportunity to purchase a tariff plan in two clicks.
Implement support for all types and formats of uploaded files.

The reason for going online: Access to a permanent fast Internet connection has displaced physical media. That is why the creation of a virtual storage is profitable, and this is what you should focus on.

Achieved results

+1785

uploaded files by site visitors during the first 3 months of the site's operation

+35%

users who have purchased an advanced tariff plan for the first 3 months

+1109

unique visits in two months after the launch of the site

+392

the transition from banner advertising on the site for the first reporting period (additional income, impressive, isn't it!)

Structure of the file sharing site

Such a site does not require complex decisions on the structure. It contains several information pages such as FAQ, Terms of use and contacts. Auxiliary functionality was also developed: a personal account that allows you to store the download history, as well as search for publicly available files. The key element is the files themselves uploaded by users.

Must-have functions

The main page.

Gives a clear idea of the purpose of the site. There is an information banner and navigation for navigating to other pages, as well as a search bar.

Terms of use.

Imposes a ban on the transfer of illegal materials and malware on users.

Contacts.

A page with a feedback form and an email of the site's support service.

Tariffs.

On this page, the user can choose his tariff plan, which expands the functionality of the site.

FAQ.

A block of frequently asked questions from site visitors about the operation of the service and answers to them.

Personal account.

After registering on the site, the user gets access to a personal account, which allows you to track downloads and publish your own content.

Stages of development of a file sharing site

Shall we exchange thoughts?

A conversation with the customer is the first step on the way to a great website. In this conversation, we must define clear goals and draw up a capacious Technical Task

Entrust it to the designer.

The next stage is the preparation of layouts for the appearance of the site, from which the client chooses the one he likes.

Layout.

Then the layouts are passed to programmers so that they can create the site code.

Implementation of the CMS system.

To work with the content on the site, we are implementing an administrative panel, which is our development.

Contenters, get to work!

When the site is set up, it needs to be filled with text and various media files, which we will do at this stage.

Is there more?

Testing is the key to success, which is why we check the site for typos and bugs before uploading it to hosting.
