FreeSite Standards?

I'm looking to start creating some Hosted FreeSites for our affiliate program. I have never made or submitted a freesite before, and looking through past GFY threads has been of some, but not comprehensive help.

I'd like to offer the best product I can, so everyone's opinion is welcome.

1. I am looking to find out if there any minimum requirements for freesites for submissions (i.e., number of pictures, number of pages or galleries, pic vs. movie galleries)

2. Do you have an opinion on the amateur look of many freesites? Does the DIY aesthetic appeal to surfers more than a well designed page?

3. What features or tools would you like to see in our freesites?

4. Is there any new technology you haven't seen, but would like to, in freesites?

Thanks for your time. Help us help you make more money, and we can all "live the island life."
