ober Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Dude... she's hot. Love the look and the error message. Would be interesting to see increasingly "annoyed" versions of the error message if you continue to screw up Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/37145-coming-soon-page/page/2/#findComment-180087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnottyAlder Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I'm loving the error message. I found a sweet little piece of code that checks to see if the domain name that is entered actually exists. It's just another way to help validate the e-mail. If anyone is interested let me know and I'll dig it up for you. When you enter a correct e-mail maybe a message could come up in place of the error message saying that the e-mail was recieved. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/37145-coming-soon-page/page/2/#findComment-180098 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. I will once I actually make the mailing list work. I may use a little ajax so I don't have to refresh the page. Should give a nice little effect.

Ninjakreborn Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Sorry this is off topic, but Jcombs, what do you charge your clients hourly. I am very, very impressed with your graphic design work. I may send you a personal message today with an offer I have been wanting to ask you about. I am in need of another graphic designer, I am talking to a few, but I wanted to ask you about it too.

jcombs_31 Posted February 9, 2007 Author Share Posted February 9, 2007 I generally don't charge hourly for anything that has to do with web design. I charge by the job. I only charge hourly for IT work. Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/37145-coming-soon-page/page/2/#findComment-180587 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjakreborn Posted February 9, 2007 Share Posted February 9, 2007 Ok, I will message you today or monday with an offer. I wanted to ask you something, the design is good by the way.

steviewdr Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Make sure not to rely on Javascript alone for checking email addresses. As KnottyAlder said, its simple to check if a email, or domain name has an email via telnet 25 or something more elegant. You wouldnt want a load of nonexistant emails when sending a mailing list. -steve Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/37145-coming-soon-page/page/2/#findComment-181392 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcombs_31 Posted February 10, 2007 Author Share Posted February 10, 2007 I always check server side, but wanted to see the effect with javascript. I'm going to end up checking it using ajax to still get the same quick effect without a reload. I don't usually check the domain though, just the expression.

jcombs_31 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 Ok, she wanted the splash animated and to stream a couple sample tracks. I'm forcing myself into really learning actionscript now, but not sure if these slight animations are any good.

jcombs_31 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 I was thinking something needs to loop. I considered maybe animating the star in her 'logo' and making it spin or shine or something.

jcombs_31 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 ok, made an update. How are the load times for you? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/37145-coming-soon-page/page/2/#findComment-186539 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ober Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Load times are fine... but I imagine some of it is cached... it was a little slow the first time I pulled it up. Looks good, but possibly just slightly choppy on the spin. Might look good to add a little "sparkle" on the tip of the guitar or the mic or something. Sidenote:... the music is kind of generic... not really "original", IMO.

jcombs_31 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 I put a little shine on the guitar. I don't see the choppiness, but maybe I'll try to increase the frame rate a little and see if it helps.

dbrimlow Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 I too had an initial wait of @ 8 to 9 seconds or so before anything loaded (Firefox). But, again, the usual rules aren't as strict with an entertainment site. I would recommend having something quick and fixed display while the loading is going on. People with dial-up or slow dsl will be waiting with nothing to do for an uncomfortably long time. You should give them something to read or look at.
