Zedtu v2 Redone

[Klydo]

I've spent a couple of hours redoing the site, as people had some strong suggestions about the site. So I've edited a lot to make it more appropriate for us.

The biggest feature is the "Workflow" which is based upon Panic's (http://www.panic.com) content scroller. It is to display all our largest projects and clients and we will select different sites to appear on it each month or so. It allows visitors to dynamically scroll through our work seeing a short description and two small screenshots. There is still a bit of work to be done on it as it's not perfect yet but it's getting there.

The colour scheme has also be reverted to grays and creams instead of the blue that was prior. The wooden area has now been changed to an metal kind of theme to match the colouring of the site. Also all content is now on one page instead of multiple pages.

Give me your thoughts on the overall design this time, as well as post any screenshots of browser problems and I should be able to fix them. Ignore any spelling mistakes as I've not checked over it was just a rough draft.


LAUNCH (http://www.zedtu.com/v2dot0)


The site is still not compatible with IE6 or lower as I see if everyone continues to develop for IE6 then the IE6 user base will never upgrade to more web standard browsers. Making the life of web developers a lot harder.

that looks a lot nicer however, some errors appear in IE7:

Thank you, I'll get onto them now :D

[:Edzy]

Wow, i love it. really nice.

+Rep if can

[Robbie]

It looks VERY nice, well done!

[kk.]

no problem :)

did you make the content scroller yourself or was it a free download from panic?

[Klydo]

It was a tutorial on a site, I googled "Panic's Content Scroller" and a tutorial appeared. I've linked to Panic at the bottom of the site.

Could anyone with IE7 please add me to MSN, as I run Mac not Windows. Would be a great help if someone could report me any issues via MSN about IE7.

[Plux]

That is a magnificent upgrade.
Loving it.

[Klydo]

Okay thanks for all the comments :D

I think I have fixed the workflow problem in IE7, could someone check if the <hr> issue is corrected?

[Jme]

That is seriously sexy! having to scroll to see the conent tho, i'm on 1280 x 800.

The images appear to be showing rather slow? Sexy design tho.

[QuickScriptz]

Oh that's rich. So you think that if your site doesn't display/work properly in IE6 then the users will just magically decide to upgrade (even though you don't tell them their browser is the problem)? Trust me, unless they have an afinity for your site/services/designs then they won't upgrade just because of your site.

Plus, you should always consider the users that CAN'T upgrade their browsers due to stability, OS, RAM, and other issues.

[Klydo]

Please just leave if you're going to complain about IE6. I've said my reasons why I'm not coding or designing to support it anymore. If everyone continues to code for it then we will always have people stuck in the old ages. I'm not trying to say people will upgrade just to see my site, but if everyone did what I am doing then IE6 would soon become an minority browser.

MySpace, Facebook and Panic already do it. I have also added an IE6 notice, just takes a while for me to test it as I use a Mac.

[SATIRE]

Please shut the hell up about using a Mac, nobody could care less.

Somebodys obsessed with Coda. I HATE YOU AND WANT A MAC!

Is there a nicer word than backend, I hate calling mine a backend.

P.s. love the site one page, nice..

[Robbie]

Why dont you try OSX86, Reconix?

[Hypertext]

I don't wanna risk getting my computer screwed, I'd prefer a straight up mac that really utilizes its power.

[Florx]

What was wrong with you keeping this all in one thread?

You complain when there are several threads all on one thing.

Stop spamming.

Relax :P Not hurting anyone :P

[Florx]

I hate hypocrites though.

Say one thing, do another.

[Klydo]

Please shut the hell up about using a Mac, nobody could care less.
Um, do you ever pay attention? I stated I'm on a Mac as I can't check errors in IE with ease because Internet Explorer is no longer made for Mac OS. So there is no need to have a go at me because I said the word "Mac".

[SATIRE]

Um, do you ever pay attention? I stated I'm on a Mac as I can't check errors in IE with ease because Internet Explorer is no longer made for Mac OS. So there is no need to have a go at me because I said the word "Mac".

You always have to add in 'on a Mac'. For example, when you done Zedtu, it said 'Designed on a Mac'.

Nobody could care what it's designed on. Here's something for you:

Have you tried running IE6 on crossover?

[Klydo]

Have you tried running IE6 on crossover?
I'm using Browsershots.org for the moment, takes around 10 mins to check anything I do in IE6 but it will do for now.

Also Satire, if you have nothing better to do then moan at me for saying I own a Mac then you have a very low life. I never posted here to ask for your opinion on my Mac ownership. It's about my website, which from what I can see has nothing about "Designed on Mac" on it anymore and v2 never did. So please stop complaining about nothing. You just have it in for me and will say anything to try and put down my work. Your life really is low.

[SATIRE]

Not as low as your arrogant, cocky attitude you demonstrate here everytime you visit. "You just have bad taste." Get over yourself. You call my life low, yet you jump at every oppurtunity that arises to brag about owning a Mac.

Get over yourself, and Mac's.

Edited by --ss-- (Forum Super Moderator): Please do not be rude ;).

[Klydo]

Point out anywhere in this thread where I've had a cocky attitude or have been arrogant. Also please point out where I have bad taste, as from what I see in this thread the general view of my design is good.

I think you're the one who needs to get over himself. You're having a go at me for no practical reason, you're picking on things I've said in the past or in other threads. I think you'll find where I speak about my Mac is in the Apple section of the website. I don't constantly say "I own a Mac" in this thread and if I do it's to answer someone's question or to draw comparison or attention to software.

[SATIRE]

I'm speaking of when one stated that they do not like your design (in the past), and you responded with: "You just have bad taste."

You're being cocky again, stating that your "view of design is good". Let others be the judge of that, not you. Don't pull up crap saying people praise you either, I know that's what you're planning to post in your reply; just don't bother. I can't be bothered with your crap.

On the grounds of your design, the persistant use of '.' is annoying. Also, the text that engraves into the background looks stupid. I'd personally go for something more modern than this, it just doesn't fit my bill.

G'night,

[Klydo]

I never said that my view of my design was good. Please read my post it says "as from what I see in this thread the general view of my design is good." meaning the communities opinion of it. So in no way was I being cocky saying I thought it was good, I was taking it directly from THIS communities opinions. You're now just posting for absolutely no reason as you have no arguement.

[SATIRE]

I read it wrongly, apologies.

I'm stating against how cocky you are. Click on your account and go through your posts, seeing if you still agree with that self-centred attitude.

Do you?

[Klydo]

Since I've joined on this account I haven't been cocky or self-centred. On my others ones I was but I changed to get accurate views on my work. It's only those who have no realized this (you) who are still holding grudges. I will admit I give comments on layouts which I think are bad and I say they're bad. That doesn't make me cocky or self-centred like you say, but I guess that's where you're trying to pull it from.

[Robbie]

I really think this little 'discussion' you two are having is a bit pointless? Who gives a toss really if he mentions his Mac a lot?

[Klydo]

I really think this little 'discussion' you two are having is a bit pointless? Who gives a toss really if he mentions his Mac a lot?
Thing is I mention it in the Apple Mac section of the website, which is were it's all about Mac. I mentioned it once in this thread to get across the point I was having troubles testing in IE so it will take a while to get results. I wasn't saying...

"Oh look at me I own a Mac"

I just said it so Scriptz knew how the situation was. He's also bothered by the fact I put "Designed on Mac" on my website(s) that I own with Caleb. Caleb has never said he's had any problems with it and neither should Scott.

[Dentafrice]

Designed on a Mac.
Coded on a Windows.

[Klydo]

Simple as, Scott do you want me to put Coded on Windows the next time we open?

...thats a bit too techie for aunt linda who wants to see if she can get her sewing site up and running...

We are not here for Aunt Linda.

[loserWILL]

We are not here for Aunt Linda.

Then who do you aim to make websites for?

[Hypertext]

We are not here for Aunt Linda.

LOL! Well you ain't going to have any business then.

Seriously.. it does sound a bit too techie... theres bound to be people who come on that it'd confuse them so they'd leave. I'm not saying this to be an A__hole, just helping out.

[Klydo]

We aim for anyone who wants a website, plus a quote at the top of the site won't put people off because it says BETA. There are design agencies out there making millions and I can barely understand the crap they put all over the site to sound technical.

[Bojangles]

I really don't see the point in flaiming greg for this. Most PROFESSIONAL designers use Macs these days, (fact). Not saying nobody can design anything good on a windows because they can. Just because he stuck "Design on a mac" at the bottom means nothing so shutup flaming him for it. Anyway, the designs an improvement from the blue version :P

[Independent]

Looks great, well done!

[SATIRE]

You're not funny.

Just don't put 'Designed on a Mac' and you wont look like such an idiot.

It's up to me if I put Designed on a Mac on it. The fact it says "Designed on a Mac" has absolutely nothing to do with me personally since it's a company website. So I don't see how it's boasting that I have a Mac. On this site it says;

"Entirely coded on CODA (http://www.panic.com/coda) and transfered with Transmit (http://www.panic.com/transmit) on a Mac (http://www.apple.com/)."

As I like to explain a little how I build my sites.

You should put your 'Mac Data' somewhere that people who give two ***** about how you make your website could look, instead of giving off your impression of having periods over your MacIntosh.

[Florx]

HA HA HA HAAARRSH.

You are right though SATIRE. :)

[Klydo]

Lol, think you'll find people who actually have a piece of maturity in then who are interested in web development find how my sites are made interesting. Just how I find reading how other web designers make their sites interesting. It's all sharing your work processes and so on.

You're just stuck with immature hates from a Habbo forum, everyone else I've had arguments with in the past (for instance Luke) is looking past the fact we've hated each other and given me honest views. I can tell you're not providing any honest views as they are just filled with hatred which you can't have over a website that has done nothing to you :)

[SATIRE]

You're reaching out to potential clients. I'm sure you could put a 'Designing Process' page up, where you could showcase your lovely feelings for the MacIntosh. It's not sharing work processes, it's being a "typical mac user" who adapts to some social life led by apple.

[Klydo]

As I've always said, if people have a problem with someone else owning something they don't then it's jealousy. Get over yourself Scott, this is going nowhere.

[SATIRE]

It's not me who has to get overthemselves. You're the one bragging about owning a MacIntosh, not me. I've got nothing to 'get over'. We can start from square one if you wish, since I've saw your attitude change on your new account.

I'd rather spear myself through the head than own a MacIntosh, so don't point at jealousy.

[Klydo]

So stop complaining that I own one, I'm a web designer therefore I use a Mac. If you're getting annoyed by me putting "on a Mac" on my OWN website then you have issues. It has absolutely nothing to do with you, you're not one of my clients, you're not going to be using my site and you're nothing to do with running of the site so why moan about it?

I am in no way bragging about own one, it's basically stating what it's built on. Places such as Virb and Netlog state their made on Macs so does that mean their bragging? I'm just showing my support for Apple's products and Panic's software as they are the best in their areas in my eyes.

[SATIRE]

It's not a primary requirement for Web Designers to use Mac's. I'm not getting annoyed, I'm just saying it's stupid and makes you look stuck up.

Nobody could care what it's built on. If they did, they'd either email you or they could look at a page dedicated for you to go on and on about MacIntoshes.

Are you wanting to start from square 1, Greg?

[Bojangles]

Lol, think you'll find people who actually have a piece of maturity in then who are interested in web development find how my sites are made interesting. Just how I find reading how other web designers make their sites interesting. It's all sharing your work processes and so on.

Just decided it was time to stop flaming you for nothing tbh. Goodluck with Zedtu:)

[Jme]

Just how does saying "I have a mac" or anything similar make you a snob or make you look stuck up? I don't get what your problem is Scott. In my opinion the site looks amazing and I can't wait for it to be completed. Good job Greg and Caleb.

If you look at the typical users of a MacIntosh, you'll realise they cannot shut the heck up about using their MacIntosh. That's my point here.

Indeed but they could still remove it if they wanted to, they choose to have it there for the license. Alot of MAC designers either put a link to apple or put mac somewhere on the site as alot of professional designers use mac and link back to apple.

May I ask:

Why REMOVED are you people arguing over some simple text that says "Designed on A Mac" and a link to Apple?

If you are arguing over that, you are really low or bored.

A lot of MacIntosh designers put a link and image of Apple on their site for one reason; they are taken in and can't get over MacIntoshes.

I do not think I wish to have my life dramatically changed because of a computer.

And Loser, I'm stating my opinion on the stupidity of 'Designed on a Mac'.

[Klydo]

So say if I put "Designed on a PC" then I'd be boasting about owning a PC? No. I'm not boasting in anyway shape or form, I'm just a designer who likes to promote things he's using. If you actually read the entire bottom of the site it says;

"Contact form coded by Jamie Cassidy. Workflow script based upon Panic's content scroller.
Entirely coded on CODA and transfered with Transmit on a Mac. "

Does that mean I'm bragging about usuing Jamie's contact form? Bragging about basing my scroller script on Panic's? Bragging the fact it's built on CODA? Bragging about all the transfering is done on Transmit?

Nope... So why does the Mac bit have to mean I'm bragging then. Jamie never requested I put a link back to him and neither did Panic.

[SATIRE]

No, what I was saying was about the old zedtu website where it said: "Designed on a Mac".
