Hi all Last week we launched our brand new site http://www.meloncreative.co.uk Wondered if you guys would take a look / let us know your thoughts Cheers
looks really good. Only thing is when i first visited i thought i must have gone to the wrong site as i though you were selling tractors
Erm not sure what you mean dell son Anyways thanks for all the nice words, we were thinking of changing the tractor one actually. Any other feedback at all?
Lovely website, very clean and vibrant. I like the use of colours too, as they are my favourite. Very sleek and smart
Beautiful layout. What attracted my attention was a slower response page. Which is understandable given the 49 images, 9 css files and 8 scripts that load to the front page. Given the profile of your work, I should expect better optimization of the page. Load time of 18 sec for fast internet and even 180 sec for 56 k connection is not very representative. But it looks really beautiful.
Agreed on the optimisation, although because we are still doing bits to it we are going to wait till its finished and then compress both the css and js. To be honest though because of all the large high quality images on the slider which makes up most of the load time, I cant see it making a huge difference. The majority of the layout images are in a sprite already. The CMS we use is one we built in house, as described and shown off in a screencast, on our site here - Engine Content Management System
It looks pretty nice. Two things I would point out is that the text on the body looks a little too small imo and loading time wasn't as fast as visitors would want.
