Touch Innovation by Nathan on 08-09-2008 at 12:06 AM

Hey,

I've been working on a website recently - putting alot of effort into it and what not, I think I have most of the bugs ironed out of it. I'm wondering if you could all give me you're opinions on it please?

Thanks

LINK: touch-innovation

Mods: please don't move to t&t - *cough* need bots *cough*

Very very cool... Nice sleek design...

Only thing I can pick at would be the menu doing that animation lark everytime someone opens a new page, I'd personally just have it animate the once and stay like that.

Other than that, very cool, good job Nathan. Reminds me, I could do with finishing up my flash site sometime soon... I've been neglecting my projects recently.


RE: Touch Innovation by albert on 08-09-2008 at 12:42 AM

Wow.

I'm impressed. :P
Nice stuff, as mentionned; the menu over animation is a little on the nerve; but other than that; pretty cool. :)

(calendars btw, not calenders (afaik))


RE: Touch Innovation by Nathan on 08-09-2008 at 12:51 AM

As far as I remember it's calender :S (is in the UK at any rate, iirc).

Thanks for the input, yeah I just wanted to make it look cool + have userbility, because the menu is always there (which I think is easier), and the pop-out adds a bit of edge to it :P

The header still needs a bot of work. The orange under the title grabs more attention than "Touch Innovation" itself.

wouldn't it be better if everything was centered?
i have a big dark gray space on the right side

It is supposed to be centered - or at least it was on localhost - maybe i screwed something on transfer

* Nathan checks


Yep I added a margin-left: which over-rid the margin: 0 auto (to center it), so i removed the margin-left, and it all works now :)
RE: Touch Innovation by prashker on 08-09-2008 at 05:39 AM

add a bottom rounded edge on the sliding nav bar


RE: Touch Innovation by Basilis on 08-09-2008 at 08:47 AM

The design is impressing and the menu is very user-friendly. Great site Nathan! :)


RE: Touch Innovation by High Speed Chaser on 08-09-2008 at 09:49 AM

The bar kept sliding down to far to the point where I can click on the last few links. Otherwise its good!


RE: Touch Innovation by Felu on 08-09-2008 at 10:51 AM

Change the category links to 'contact-managers', 'messaging' from category-1, category-2, etc. if you really care about SEO :P.


RE: Touch Innovation by Nathan on 08-09-2008 at 12:04 PM

Yeah thanks felu - absorbation recommeneded the same thing, it's on my todo list (which is fucking huge :P)

Sam: the menu originally did have a button cureved edge but i did a bodge job on it, and didnt make it expand, its just one image :P


RE: Touch Innovation by joey on 08-09-2008 at 12:27 PM

nice to see some content on there now. looks a mile better than before, and it looked good then. i just wish i had my dads HTC, it pwns. ;<


RE: Touch Innovation by Justin on 08-09-2008 at 03:42 PM

The only problem I can see is that the box that follows you while you scroll goes to far down and makes 2 options impossible to click and it also seems as if you can scroll down forever.

Using IE btw.


RE: Touch Innovation by Nathan on 08-09-2008 at 04:31 PM

oO Whats your resolution?

so fix it :p?
RE: Touch Innovation by Nathan on 08-09-2008 at 07:33 PM

Yeah if it was as easy as that then sure, but It means a whole re-write - and im focusing on something else atm.


RE: Touch Innovation by Quantum on 08-09-2008 at 10:41 PM

IMO, the menu fits in excellent with the site and looks great if it's static :P

Yeah, I understand, don't want you to waste your time on a 5 second fix

calender
     n: a machine that smoothes or glazes paper or cloth by pressing
         it between plates or passing it through rollers


I'm pretty sure you meant calendar.

All you've done is change the actual image - not going to work very well, because the menu constantly changes...
Else, how else did you do it? Because the menu img is 700px high.

Either fix your code, constantly edit the image size, or remove the top curve, either way you do it, it will look better than it does now :p
RE: Touch Innovation by Nathan on 08-10-2008 at 03:13 PM

I told you, I WILL fix my code as soon as I have time. It doesn't look too bad atm anyway, but its on my todo list

RE: Touch Innovation by John Anderton on 08-14-2008 at 02:22 AM

Nathan: I saw the site last night and thought it was nice. There are a few things we could talk about though so when you see me online, send me a message on WLM (my WLM seems to refuse to work and I don't have the time to fix it), pm me or something. :)
Good job. The design looks nice too ;)


RE: Touch Innovation by Nathan on 08-14-2008 at 02:32 PM

Hey JA, long time no speak heh. Yeah sure - I'll drop you a message, Thanks :)
