bigsteve Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Why are some websites built with phenomenal amounts of info and pretty pictures that make the site so slow to load. OK, so I'm feeling it more than ever right now :wink: , but why do it? This site is basic in its look, but does everything you need, and is well quick to load up. Web designers take note!

bigsteve Posted July 27, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Good editting, Chris! You should work on Big Brother :wink: Just to bore you, I was looking on the Faithless site. Tune Inn was too slow as well. Another reason for poor sales??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neuro Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Flash sites are hopeless loading for those who are on dial-up. It looks great, but if used too much or linked poorly then it will slow the loading time whatever connection you're on. This site is an information site and so I've always felt it doesn't need to be anything but simple, but at the same time consistent and not harsh on the eye. The board also should be very quick to load unless people have resource-sapping avatars (sorry Bjorn!! :wink: ) If visitors come on a website, it can be the dog's b*****s but if it's slow to load they won't be tempted to click through and browse the site like they normally would, so you could well be right Steve about poor sales on Tune Inn for that very reason. This is also why I worry about the speed on this site when it's anything but lightning quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonB Posted July 27, 2005 Report Share Posted July 27, 2005 Yeah thats my argumnet for all thse brash boldflashy sites, can be annoyinge sp if you cant skip intros-have to wait for them to load just to skip them.

dormouse Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 Precisely, he came on there hoping to belittle me and get a few laughs. I had plenty of support, and after a spot of name-dropping and bragging, we sure had him looking very silly indeed.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigsteve Posted July 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 I've just read through most of it, and it shows why I can't be @rsed going on there anymore. There's a select few people that are on there to irritate and annoy, spoiling it for everyone else. He clearly hasn't got a clue what he's talking about. Anyway, I'm not wasting space on this board talking about him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neuro Posted July 28, 2005 Report Share Posted July 28, 2005 I'm surprised you argued with the person for so long! I'm certainly not one for shying away from standing up for myself, but equally so on that occasion I would have tried to move away from that and ignore it early on. Unlike this board also, that argument will stay on there until the end of time! Easier said than done though I admit. :? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
