Thanks for all the amazing feedback everyone. To demonstrate the sites other uses we've set up this page : http://www.bktrack.com/u/911 to show how a user can create a page around an event. Seemed fitting that the first memorial page was put live today. This functionality will go live sometime soon publicly.
I also like the design and concept. I do not, however like the placement of the feedback & suggestions flyout. It, like many others I have seen on the web, blocks the text underneath it with no way to turn it off. I will be looking through family scrapbooks for pictures to upload.
If you want to do that, drop me a PM with your email address and i'll send you a personal profiles invite
I must say that this is good and unique site. Design is simple/minimalistic but site looks great. Only thing that I do not like is logo, it is too small.
Yeah i agree with you on that, i put the logo in after the layout - The next version its updated to be a bit more clear Tom
I'm not sure what you mean? I developed the site using php & mysql. A little update, the sites been getting Ok traffic, I've just launched a new feature called Pages: http://www.bktrack.com/pid/7 be great to get your thoughts, it's basically collaborative pages that people can upload to together in groups for example families, events, specialist topics etc. Thanks as always.
Hey Everyone, Another little update New homepage is live addressing some of the homepage issues previously mentioned by people: http://www.bktrack.com and also put together a little page that explains a little more about the site: http://www.bktrack.com/s/learnmore Thoughts welcome & appreciated as always.
I like the idea behind the website. The looks are great, and the animations feel smooth, also the website loads fast. All you need now is marketing the thing . Good luck with your website.
Looks elegant, and loading pretty fast, Web Fonts sure seem useful in use(I haven't had the time to test them yet :/).Although I think your slider's splash photos need some optimize for the web. 200~KB for photos as that size seems a bit much. ^^ Try taking the quality down to 70~80, it shouldn't affect your image much, you would barely notice a change, decrease in filesize that I would expect is about 60~70%. It sure will give your site a better loading time.
Really appreciate all the kind words on this - Still working hard on further improvements - also looking at the possibility of getting a few more people involved so if you're awesome at any of the following then drop me a PM: jquery/ajax & UI PHP/MySql Or anything else you think could add to the team.
Hey again everyone, just made some further improvements to the site. We've now got status messages, and the profiles have had a revamp. The header images scales and changes depending how many pictures the user has uploaded: The new profile can be seen here: http://www.bktrack.com/u/bktrack an example with lots of pictures: http://www.bktrack.com/u/cars and one with not so many pictures http://www.bktrack.com/u/djbaker2 As always feedback massively appreciated, and if any of you sign up don't forget to follow the BkTrack account for updates
No doubt you have done a great job, I like the way you set up our website and attracts with nice color combination. Good work
