Guest inletmedia Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 skinning cc3 compared to v2 was like taking candy from a baby. i was able to integrate it fully into looking like it was custom coded into my existing website.

eriknv Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 It look great. Only the loading time for low internet acces persons is long. (Sorry but my english is not so well, I hope you can understand me) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest inletmedia Posted July 13, 2005 Share Posted July 13, 2005 Load time was thought of, but 85% of the country is now on Broadband, and the other 15% ... well they are used to waiting for pages to load. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest inletmedia Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 I think you site looks very professional... It's inspired me to make my site better! i think you just need better images, and logo/graphics ... then find a color scheme to go with them, what are you using for graphics ?

jerseyjoe Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 Load time was thought of, but 85% of the country is now on Broadband, and the other 15% ... well they are used to waiting for pages to load. Exactly which country is that? Certainly not the USA. BB only passed the halfway mark vs DU just a few weeks ago - and that statistic is greatly misleading because it it skewed heavily to schools and businesses where BB is a common standard. If you isolate consumers at home, the percentage still on dialup is more like 75%. That's why the heavy-weights - such as Yahoo and MSN, Google and most media pages - all of whom know a few things about designing for users' optimal experience, consider 8 seconds on a 56k modem the Gold Standard. It is widely and well researched that 50% of visitors have bailed out at 20 seconds and another 50% bail out every 5 seconds after that until you get to the rabbit and hare minimum of 5% of what you started with at 1 minute. Which is not far off your download time. Your primary graphic, that yellow car, takes up a huge chunk (150px) of the most valuable real estate on a web page. And it is 69,793 bytes. Running it through Photoshop's "save for the web" feature would do it a lot of good without affecting the quality of the display, even at those dimensions. I got it down to 12k at 50% which works out to about 5 seconds download on a slow 56k connection. And it looked just as good as the bloated file. The discipline of designing for the least well equipped user can do wonders for a web site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest inletmedia Posted July 14, 2005 Share Posted July 14, 2005 all my graphics come out through "save for web" i will work on them to increase the DL time ... i guess being on BB and having been for several years i neglect to think of the DU users ... will have to work on that.
