very fucking nice!

Luke Redpath · 12-09-2005, 11:32

Did you make that image cropper/resizer thing in your CMS yourself or was it off the shelf? Had a play around making one of my own not too long ago.

Site's not bad, but it would be nice if the text resizer resized the navigation text as well.

emil · 12-09-2005, 11:33

yeah, nice. The header animation becomes a little bit irritating after a while. Maybe use on the inner pages a static image? Just a thought.
+ what luke said about the nav

how do you do the animated favicon when not on the page (i.e im using tabbed browsing in firefox and the little icon goes while im not on that tab, and when i am, it doesnt jiggle)

was wondering that also?

emil · 12-09-2005, 11:55

it always does for me?

very nice dimming effect when you load the popup window.

nice site overall

Narate · 12-09-2005, 12:26

Tis abit knackered in Safari.

The down pointing arrows are well dated. Im not keen on the flash, ruins the images and isnt that nice anywhoot.

Very much like the page dimm, thats cool.

The sub text under the logotype is totally illegible.

It's too close to what Macromedia have done for my liking.

The colours of the cropped images dont match up for some reason, I can upload an image if needs be.

Didnt have any trouble navigating and working the site.

I like it, but could be improved.

leotardster · 12-09-2005, 12:49

that bloke at the top of the page looks like a queer.

Nice site though

Thanks for the replys so far.

The cropping thing is off the shelf, java. As for the navigation, It was better to keep the items the same size otherwise it killed the design.

Favicon: Its a animating gif renamed to .ico, I think its down to firefox when it decides to animate, sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt.

Safari: It works 100% in version 2.0+. There is a small problem with the png's on anything less.

The subtext under the logo. Unfortunatly thats the brand, I think its just about big enough to see.

They are a bit small though. Partially sighted people wont care if your layout breaks, as long as they can read it.

Can I ask what it is?

Not too keen on Java applets - will probably continue writing my own (uses Javascript client-side and could use a range of things server-side...was gonna use PHP originally but might look at Ruby's RMagick library) - would still like a peek though.

cam · 12-09-2005, 13:51

there's flash widgets that do the resizing stuff too

that's how we did the resizing on TT - flash + php

gray · 12-09-2005, 15:21

hate the pixel font (hoeger or somethin, yack)

love everything else. get standard_05 55 in there man, sex it up

PLaTinUM · 12-09-2005, 22:25

It's a very clean site with subtle graphics, well done.
