emehrkay Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 www.farosuccess.comim keeping it real simple & clean, i might even add a few pics in there. its a single page, i dont want it to have too much to load though. it validates, i just have a hanging <br /> in there somewhere (ill find it). i used moo.fx for the animations and i used their prototype.lite package to do the ajax.im working on the javascript to highlight the active tab and im working on the form to show a timer when the user presses submit.what else can i do style/usage wise? thanks Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/14633-single-page-business-overview/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyB Posted July 15, 2006 Share Posted July 15, 2006 Other than as a technology exercise, I don't see any benefit to using ajax for that. All that the javascript accomplishes is to prevent users with js disabled from using the site. Even if that's only 5% of your visitors ... it's still a lost opportunity. If 'usage' is one of your goals, improve the usability and dump the javascript.That aside, and a few typos that I'm sure you'll fix, there's not much to say other than that you're right that a few well-chosen images would improve its appeal.

cmgmyr Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 I like the site. Very crisp and clean. I really like the ajax animations too. Maybe when you get done with this version you can make just a standard html - no ajax version so that those 5% of people can view your page.Looks good.-Chris Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/14633-single-page-business-overview/#findComment-58983 Share on other sites More sharing options...
emehrkay Posted July 17, 2006 Author Share Posted July 17, 2006 thanks for the replies.andy i used ajax for the form to keep it as a single page site. the site is built using php includes so it shouldnt be difficult to create a typical site with different pages for each section. i just have to make sure that the ajax degrades to a regular form submission if js isnt present. i just figured out the tabs. im thinkin about stying the active tab as a gel/glass lookin one, just to make it stand out. i think its currently 4kb and a gif, i dont want to degrade the image but ill try Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/14633-single-page-business-overview/#findComment-59145 Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixy Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Sometimes when I click on the tabs, the actual tab disappears for all of them and only the text remains...

BinaryStar Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 Another reason not to make your entire site AJAX oriented is SEO. How does a search engine follow your links? It won't, they don't spider JS links. I think AJAX has it's place but not to maintain a single page web site.Also what market are you going after? Professionals? I only ask because I think this type of thing would be good for a tech site but for me if I were going to your site for professionalism I may turn away.I think your overall design is nice and simple. Very easy to use. I would just watch using AJAX for your entire site. Also how would I bookmark a page?
