kni Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Simple question - What do you think of it? http://ptfc.co.uk/home IMO, it looks amateurish compared the old one. The choice of font(s) is poor. The navigation is unclear. I hope that it did not cost us much if anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancipital Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Looks ok to me, not sure Doolan and Shug staring at me every time I log on is something I want though. The Falkirk highlights have sneaked on unnoticed (to me anyway), good to see the multiple replay angles for our goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Simple question - What do you think of it? http://ptfc.co.uk/home IMO, it looks amateurish compared the old one. The choice of font(s) is poor. The navigation is unclear. I hope that it did not cost us much if anything. I was about to start the same topic. I like the design but it needs tweaking. These are my suggestions, but obviously others may disagree. The font as you say is tricky to read, they should change it. There should be a heading on the home page, the club badge isn't really enough. The navigation bar could do with something to help it stand out, maybe a border. The drop down menus from the navigation bar needs a border. The main news stories on the home page need something other than a massive photo and a tiny heading. Maybe reduce the size of the photo and add a short caption. The columns on the home page (next/recent matches and latest media) could do with clear headings.

Pie Of The Month Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I like it. The navigation menu at the top is much quicker to find what you're looking for and it's needed an update for quite some time. Doolan and Murray look terrifying on either side right enough.

little_miss_jag Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Had a wee play about with it and I think it is better than old website with lots more on it. I would say it is easier to navigate and I like the news section up the top but I did like seeing the previous match and next match at the top. The matches at the side doesn't stand out enough. Good see that the youth have a section too and you can see their fixtures and results if you want. Don't like Doolan and Murray as the background though! Actually creeps me out a bit!

Lin1876 Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I think it's pretty good. I like the way everything for each match (team, reaction, etc) is now in one place, and it's good to have a match archive now. There are some niggles, but none of them are big deals. But please, fix the video player. It doesn't let me play in full screen and sometimes it doesn't work at all. Enough people use modern, HTML 5 browsers, why not support that?

little_miss_jag Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 The back ground needs to brighter than the picture of Doolan and Murray - something a bit more red and yellow!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twinny Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 The back ground needs to brighter than the picture of Doolan and Murray - something a bit more red and yellow!! I like the picture as a background, but the contrast of the dark background with white page can also make reading difficult. In fact if they change the white to a light grey it would really help with both the contrast and the font. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junior Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Much better clearer to read IMO. The only thing I would change is to host the highlights on a YouTube channel and embed it into the page. Keeps hosting costs down as its all streamed from YouTube plus the highlights can be put into widescreen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeps hosting costs down as its all streamed from YouTube plus the highlights can be put into widescreen I think there might be copyright issues with doing that, though Aidrie host theirs on Vimeo and embed it onto their site, so maybe not. Unfortunately, I think widescreen is out of the picture (pardon the pun) unless the club buys a new camera. Given that the coverage is acceptable compared to some others, there isn't too much to complain about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWM Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) Do they mind putting the bus times back on the site for tomorrow!? Vanished with the new design. Ta. Edited August 17, 2012 by MWM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fearchar Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 (edited) A splash screen! FFS, why not let's go and hire a miner's son to manage? Once you get past that ("If" in the case of a mobile: you'll have to peer at the tiny link at the top right!), there are two players, not even in club colours, glowering at you, one on each side, along with a less visible club crest. Have they commissioned usability testing and then done the opposite of all that was recommended? Going through the normal tests of the W3C for one page, it had 10 errors and 2 warnings. Oh, and they've retained one of the particularly silly features of the old design - keeping "Media" separate from results and reports.

Fawlty Towers Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Looks fine to me and I really like the fact there are now sections on the youth teams' fixtures and the community work! There are some sections that take a few "clicks" to get to from the homepage but that is not a big issue for me. I am sure the people responsible will take onboard constructive criticism and we will see the website evolve over time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Give them a bit of time to debug this - as it does need some corrective actions. I think I can only access about 50% of what's meant to be displayed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeanieD Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 It's OK but could be a bit friendlier. As for the glowering presence of the "reserve" team players - the site would actually look a lot better with a splash of red and yellow so that should change for a start.

Woodstock Jag Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 I really like it. But if there is one thing they change PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let it be the embedded video player for highlights. This one is gash. It was even worse when they used the stock quick-time one way back.

Watson Towers Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 good job!I like it; I even like the font. Video is still not great - Queens Park showed us what we should be aspiring to there - but at least the aspect ratio is fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoda-jag Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 not that great a change or improvement. a few, as mentioned, but overall, looks half constructed / half finished. could be better if majority of constructive comments implemented. and especially...... RED AND PLUCKIN YELLOW !!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Looking much more complete this morning - I now see the bits that were missing - I like the cleaner look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firhillista Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Overall I like the new look, but can we PLEASE do something about the video player. I've never managed to get it to work and it's really frustrating - especially when there's a nine goal thriller potentially only a click away!
