klimito Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Hi guys, This website was originally built by me for our family business residing in Jakarta, Indonesia. The website design is approached in the following manner in order of their priority: 1. Slower internet provider region 2. Corporate 3. Interactivity As you can see, I have hacked out pretty much the interactivity in my development process. But since our business is based on media service, the website should at least look like it is made by a media professional that is always up to date (I'm a PHP beginner, and a lot of the layouts are done through CSS and hard coded HTML). I would say my goal would be close to what Adobe had done to their website as their website incorporate a lot of interactivity. The only problem is, in my country, internet is painfully slow (unless you pay top notch rate of $130 per month, standard users would be around 128 kilobits/s) thats why I'd like to have a more interactive website without forgetting the web traffic factor. How can I improve my design? Positive / Negative critiques welcomed and tips & tricks are highly appreciated. www.indomediabroadcast.com **P.S. I hate the fact that we get both traffic jams on the road and on the net 24/7...

QuickOldCar Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 You can eliminate the button images and do them with css style instead. I really don't see how to optimize this more when you are displaying a few images, the images seem a decent smaller size considering the quality and dimensions of them. So it seems to me less or smaller images equates to faster loading.

Maq Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 You can install a plug-in YSlow, I know it's for FF, not sure what other browsers. It will analyze & optimize your images for you. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/yslow/ Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/240420-website-for-broadcasting-equipment-rental-service/#findComment-1235438 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewooleymammoth Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 If you want media rich look with less media, i would go with a darker background like adobe does. You could also get jquery and jquery plugins for some animation/interactivity. They can be relatively nice and light. One well done interactive image would look better anyways. I would also get rid of all those images. Images are whats gonna take up most of your bandwidth. If you want to show off your images i would use small thumbnails and only use big images if they ask for them.

waynew Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I think the navigation could do with a better touch. It's a bit too bland and the font looks a bit blurry.
