New Website Launched!
-
Looking fantastic. I assume you’d like feedback?
Under ‘Where to spend?’ it say’s:
‘Everyday, are accepting feathercoin as a payment option.’
Can’t wait for the new forums…

[/quote]Seconded. I mentioned this in the other thread. Perhaps they need merging?

The website looks and feels great. If I have to critique it, I’d say it looks a bit “technical”. I was hoping it would be targeted more at the average person on the street who wants to get involved in crypto. I don’t feel that. Also, if I put myself in the shoes of a newbie, I’d want to know where the wallet is - I know it says “Download feathercoin”, but what does this mean to the average person? I know it’s a tiny change, but I’d add the word ‘wallet’ so it says “Download feathercoin wallet”. Other than that, I think with an alternative hero banner on the homepage, I think it looks ace! Well done to all involved!

Excellent. Minor suggestions:
1. make those blue icons clickable (why, where to buy, where to spend).
2. add “Spending feathercoin” next to “Buying feathercoin” orange button
3. rename “forum” to “community”, make it a drop down with 2 items - “forum” and “developer”
4. combine charts/stats in the menu
5. add a “merchants” tab, link to the market place and also to the API for merchant integration (if one should exist)
All minor - otherwise, excellent!

Excellent!! Overall its a great step for FTC in my opinion.
The few changes I was about to suggested have already been mentioned here, so no more whining from me :)

Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet.
My only note, besides saying yes to clickable buttons - is to start looking for a replacement header image. The current one gets a bit busy around the textual overlay and could be a bit crisper.
How hard would it be to turn the header image into an auto-rotating gallery? We can choose 4-5 images that “explain” Feathercoin’s various aspects. Ie Marketplace - Mining Rig - Community - Freedom [you know, a nice open natural space] - Future [some bright blurred out lights].

Slightly off topic, but it’d also be nice to start using different language. Like “mining” could be termed as “join the Feathercoin network” and maybe sell it as an alternative network to the credit cards or traditional banking institutions. Make it seem less like an alternative to Bitcoin and more like an alternative to traditional payment methods.

Oh shiny :) I promise I wiped my feet on the way in
UM

[/quote]That’s due to a last minute change, I should have got this proof read by Ruthie who is pretty good at that sort of thing. It now reads 'Everyday, more merchants are accepting feathercoin as a payment option. '.

[*]The title/feathercoin logo and subtitle are all lowercase. I know I’m being a grammar nazi here though.
[*]I think the icons in featured tools need to be clickable, so maybe turn them into buttons?
[*]Where’s the menu option for the market? I know there’s a link in ‘where to spend’ but I thought it would be something you’d put in the menu.
[/list]
[/quote]Yep, lowercase is the fashion and is part of the design. I’m not a designer so have to take their word for it. Icons are now clickable, thanks for spotting this. The market link has been added back to the site menu.

[/quote]This is possible and I believe the image is being pulled randomly from a directory. There is only one image in the folder so it is not very random after all. The image needs to be pretty big, the current one if 1677 Ãâ€" 801. I would like to change these based on certain seasonal holidays and events that are happening in Feathercoin. I will speak to motherload to see if we can get something for his fundraiser.
I have also checked through the front of the site and made sure that Feathercoin is consistently in lowercase and replaced the two uses of FTC with feathercoin.
Next up is the forum for which I have got a copy of the database with the language forums intact. We lost special characters when we moved to a new server which was not spotted until the forum has a days worth of new posts.

Hi there site looks great.
Just a small thing but on my android mobile the download link in the menu does nothing. -
could be nice have a donation link for all the different fund raising in the main page.
thank you

The new website seems to be a little slower but perhaps this is just temporary. It looks really very nice!
