What do you think about the new look? 7 Years, 4 Months ago
|
|
|
We are real interested in getting some feedback for the Clinic's new look. We think it is easier to use and navigate through, albeit at some expense of the decorations.
We decided it was better to be easy to use, than to try to be one of the best looking websites in town. Droppping the decorations has also markedly improved our load times on slow internet connections.
We hope you agree. Please let us know. We also want to hear what you may not like, so that we can target some improvements for the near future.
Thanks,

IT BURNS ... IT BURNS ... 
No, it looks fine. The Classified link up top does not work yet and it is a little odd that the NEW FORUM POSTS side bar goes from the RIGHT of the main page to teh LEFT on the forums. But the most ... IT IS BRIGHT ... seems WHITER than DELPHI even. Maybe tone the white a little? Not a biggie, but just a thought.
EDIT ... so I say white is too bright then I get this icky yellow on my post.  I guess I btter just shut up!  <br><br>Post edited by: CRASH, at: 2005/01/13 18:07 |

LOL.. Thanks for the feedback Crash.
We really struggled with the yellow. It was just one of the easiset backgraounds to read from. There are some 'not as good' alternatives though.
We will keep working on it.
Thanks,
GRAM

Just a little input frum a newbie. I like the improvements but agree with Crash that the white is a little intense. The yelow though not popular is a little easier to read from.

Thanks ER. we appreciate the input, and Welcome to the Clinic!
We just changed the yellow to a grey, but it most likely will not show up on anyones computer who saw the yellow for a day or so.
If anyone wants to see the grey, you will need to go into your browsers settings and delete all the temporary files so that it will reload the style settings for the clinic. Otherwise, it should show up in a day or so.

Me likie the gray much better ... the entire site is much easier on the old glasses. Thanks ... BTW, even tho the idea was easier navigation and fast loading, it is still a VERY nice looking site. I prefer clean, concise and "non busy" sites over the whacked out FLASH and dancing lights type sites. Always seems to me those sites are trying to compensate for lack of content with glitz ... you don't have to worry about that. The people that come here want info, not a girlie show ... well okay, a girlie show would be nice, but the content is the draw!  |

In general, I find the speed and navigation of the site acceptable and the new improvements make the site better.
Things I would change:
- The new 'blue' text is real 'blue'. A little intense for me.  
- The start page should inform surfers as to new developments (such as the new updates to the site) and as such I would not go to as lengthy a discussions as the current windshield Tech Tip topic.
- I would not put the new forum posts on the start page.
- The log in area (including, messages) should be more prominent. Maybe place it on the right instead of the new forum posts.
Thanks for the opportunity to make comments.
