Okay we have a HIGHLY EXPERIMENTAL website.

I need your take on it, How is it in style? How is it in content? Would you use a system that advertises like this? etc...

Now would be a perfect time to tear-it-up, so don't hold back.

(Ignore the pixled logo its being replaced with http://24.75.44.173/Images/KeyCorpLogo.gif )

Good Luck! It will replace Keynotesystems.com!

(The New Site's out and so is Keynote's new Software)

Re: Keynote Systems Corp.

I just want to say: congratulations.

Your web design has completely transformed. The difference between your first efforts (early EGTV stuff) and this latest one is like the difference between night and day. It's hard to believe they are from the same person.

Before: ugly, messy, unharmonious design that makes people leave your site.

Today: clean, attractive, professional-looking design that inspires confidence.

One thing to note: the site layout breaks severely if I increase my text size even once.

That's because there not, but anyway. I've been asked to gather information about it, and your response. Although, I might be moving this direction in my development.

"I wouldn't do that."
Its very dependent on server-side stuff, its PHP, and the entire site writes itself. So in essence when you change your text, PHP has re-written itself to form to the new length.

Ah. Oh well.

I doubt it. My text change is purely client-side; your PHP doesn't know about it.

What a peculiar thing to do, anyway! It makes the site fragile.

Re: Keynote Systems Corp.

Very good effort!

It's a bit too busy for my liking though.

Re: Keynote Systems Corp.

I guess it does, providing the reader doesn't want to increase the text size

Re: Keynote Systems Corp.

Thank You! Keep the feedback coming. As far as the spelling we're taking a look at the content today. So spelling should improve.

Re: Keynote Systems Corp.

what is this tripple post, oh well.

There are MASSIVE CHANGES on the site. It is less busy, and more intuitive. PLEASE take a look as Keynote will be finalizing this website for a domain.

Please, I really need your feedback, good luck!

Re: Keynote Systems Corp.

The site is to "big" for my liking and the text is way to big for me aswell.

But the design is nice, only other thing i would change is all the different shades of white on the front page, makes it confusing.

Try making the shades a bit darker so they show up better.

I guess its a matter of opinion.

Yes, some the edges should be darkened a little.

Thank's a lot for the feed back, I'll still need much more feedback, tho. Keep it coming.

There will be a small flash animation in the frontpage, but it needs some work before it goes up there.
