Guest hackbart Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 Hey, i mader some smaller updates on the website. Nothing special, but i added at least some simple portal script which offers a small overview about the news. Christian
Technofriend Posted September 13, 2004 Posted September 13, 2004 (edited) English: I don't like these 2 pics too much. One is not sharp and the other is interlaced: osdStatus.jpg control.jpg The HDTV-pic is a bit too big for my taste, but well HDTV is just big. Beside that I like the new design. German: Diese beiden Bilder find ich nicht so toll. Das eine ist total unscharf und das andere interlaced: osdStatus.jpg control.jpg Das HDTV-Bild finde ich etwas zu gross, aber das is wohl bei HDTV so. Ansonsten find ichs gut.

Klausing Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Also bei der Größe einzelner Bilder gebe ich Dir Recht. Wir sollten nie vergessen, dass es noch sehr viele Modem oder ISDN Nutzer gibt. Die dürften dies Homepage in Zukunft meiden! Eine Startseite sollte immer äußerst klein gehalten sein! Eine Seite welche auf Grund riesiger Bilder lange Ladezeiten hervorruft oder die meine 1024er Bildschirmgröße überschritt, habe ich nie wieder besucht. Ich fand die alte Startseite schöner. Ein Frame oben oder unten mit einem kleinen sich abwechselnden Vorschaubild finde ich besser. Ein darunter befindlicher "klick to expand" Link mit einem Verweis auf ein sich öffnendes Popup finde ich wesentlich besser. Als werdender Käufer fühlte ich mit total dissorientiert auf einer Seite mit einem riesigen Bild und einem kleinen Bild rechts daneben. --- yes, some pictures are to big. Don't forget there are many modem or isdn user. This one would avoid such a site! A start page should be verry smart... Which informations give such a startpage??? All basic information (card, keyfeatures) should be visible. In my past (modem time) i avoid such sites which had to big picture and which ingnor my screen 1024-resolution! A simple "click to expand" link on a small picture is better. If i'm a new customer i would not have a feeling for buying this product. Steffen
Guest Lars_MQ Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 I agree, and even with 1280 x 1024 the images are not completely visible. I don't think the bigger the better is fitting here and I think, it would be nice to see on the startscreen some news, like updates for the DVBViewer or for plugins. So the people know that something is happening. Not everyone reads the forum. Most just use it when they have problems lars
Guest hackbart Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 i'll slim them down... In order to avoid picture sizes > 50kb. Christian
Klausing Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 Ok, but this don't solve the problem, that there are no informations about the programm on the start page. Look at http://dvbportal.de . There you can see basic informations, you have a part for possible changed screenshots and you see latest news. For bigger picture you can set an popuplink on the picture. And the best on DVBPortal is, users with old pc (800x600) have no problems to view this page. The whole site is only 26kb big ! compliment to crypto ! Steffen
Guest hackbart Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 hmm, okay i changed the welcome page Christian
Klausing Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 You can make a little varyingly screenshot in the upper middle part. This should be possible. And a click on this picture opens a new window with the big picture. With an script this should be possible. Your idea was good. Only the conversion not. Steffen
Guest hackbart Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 the current website design might not be final, but i suppose it's okay for now.. Christian
Technofriend Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 there are two little typos on the frontpage: Technisat Cablestar producs -> Technisat Cablestar products What are the differents -> What are the differences There is a special tool called image-optimizer, as a full 30 day trial here: www.xat.com. Its easy to use and you can really get small pictures for the web. Also if you lack the time, just send me all the pics to be processed and I'll do it.
Guest hackbart Posted September 14, 2004 Posted September 14, 2004 thanks for the hint. Anyhow i would appreciate to have at least a neat dynamic "home" page. Regarding the images i will think about it this evening Christian
admi-ral Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 Is the 4th OSD-Skin shown on the welcome-page downloadable? looks very nice in htpc style...
Guest hackbart Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 The HTPC test skin, probably. Well once the new version arrives you will rubber your eyes more than one time Christian
Guest Lars_MQ Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 well I hope they don't have rubber on their eyes, otherwise they won't see the nice new OSD-Inteface
Klausing Posted September 15, 2004 Posted September 15, 2004 who knows which preferences Christian have... or need i a latex mask for next version?
crypto Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 @Klausing Thanks for mentioning my site. It is in fact optimized for size. The menu on the left is done with CSS. Even the roll-over effects don't need java script or images. I found it on a page promoting CSS. I haven't seen Christian's first version of the new DVBViewer site, but the current one is great. I like the design and it is also functional. A lot of information about DVBViewer and important links can be found on the front page. In general people hate to dig deep into sites. Every information should be reachable with one click. I think this goal has been reached with the new design. People also don't like old contents. They like fresh information and that is why they come again visiting the site. That is why I added the last 5 forum posts to the front page. Maybe this is also an idea for the DVBViewer site. BTW. Even the old DVBViewer site had a by far better ranking then mine. Let's see how the new page is doing.
Klausing Posted September 18, 2004 Posted September 18, 2004 it would be nice if Christian would write in "Product Information" the number of the actual release.
