xirian Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Are there any plans for a better website? The current layout isn't the greatest (no offense to whoever made it) and to me doesn't really scream *download me*. Maybe something a bit more pro looking?I threw this together out of boredom to give an idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linx05 Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I like it how it is. The one you made is alright. Though it screams "dodgy" to me. When I see that I would expect some dodgy programs to be bundled with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firon Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I know what you mean All it needs now is for it say to ACCESS TO 1,000,000 FREE MOVIES, MP3S, SOFTWARE, SUBSCRIBE NOW!on that note, ignorantcow IS working on a better site design.

HoochieMamma Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 I like it, the colouring is a little off and the fact thats theres alot of blank space at the bottom is a little weird. But overall it's pleasing to the eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I see that I would expect some dodgy programs to be bundled with it.Those ones usually look shinier than my stuff... I think all the dodgy ones use warezed template monster templates. Anyways this was just a suggestion and something I threw together out of boredom, tried to keep the current colour scheme going but its hard to find anything that works with green besides green.Is there any thread i missed about what the one ignorantcow is working on? Im a very nosy person who loves screenshots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackLion Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 *sigh* the reality is there is nothing wrong with the current site, if you have not noticed, there is nothing about µT that screams 'DOWNLOAD ME!!!' However that has nothing to do with its effectiveness as a client. WOM has always worked better than a jazzy snazzy presentation. Is it a bit plain? yeah it is. Do I like the idea of a really snazzy site to 'convince' me to download something? No I dont. The site is functional, just like their software. I like it that way. Let Azureus handle the jazzy snazzy. That is what they do anyway. WOM=Word of mouth. 'The current layout isnt the greatest'. That is an opinion. And though it may be a correct one, that layout aint the worst either and that is a correct opinion as well. It works for the current enviornment.

1c3d0g Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Let Ignorantcow work peacefully on his design before coming with more proposals. I'm confident he can convey the µTorrent "look-and-feel" into his website design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 Actually I quite like the current site design, for one..Having said that I really like xirian's design, apart from (a) the testimonials (I don't like the idea, they always seem dodgy to me, reading a forum is the best way to get feedback IMO so the forum should be a seller) and ( the fact that it's a screenshot. You have done that for web right? And the CSS/HTML etc. all validates? If so, it's a winner with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaSteve Posted December 2, 2005 Report Share Posted December 2, 2005 so long as we can still select our own templates for the forum im not to fussed about what the site and default template look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, it's a winner with me No, its just what I whipped up, I hadn't bothered coding it because I didn't wanna go through the trouble for a site that wouldn't be used. And yeah, the testimonials are kind of deceptive... but I didnt know what else to stick there XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splintax Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 You could use photoshop (slices tool) to turn that picture into a web page very easily.I know, but that produces a site that's fairly heavy on images. I was hoping it was done with a lot of CSS.. What? You're kidding me right.. let azureus handle the jazzy snazzy? Azureus is hideous especially its web site.. µT's is much nicer!And yeah, the testimonials are kind of deceptive... but I didnt know what else to stick there XDDirect links to the latest download version?

BlackLion Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 What? You're kidding me right.. let azureus handle the jazzy snazzy? Azureus is hideous it was sarcasm. Hard to convey that when its subtle that way, you need to know the poster in order to get it. It was sarcasm. Im a fariy early convert to µT, I dont like much about Azureus anymore and tolerate Bitcomet only in special circumstances that get rarer and rarer as µT matures.

buddy Posted January 21, 2006 Report Share Posted January 21, 2006 ...I like a simple design that the web pages have ....but I have a request: How about a Links page...?...you could put the approved skins <hint>, suggested accessories (like the tcpip optimizer & patch, etc.)....thanks again for µtorrent....

Inf Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 I like the current site much more than the offered one.The current one is simple, informative and usefull. Staying without the stupid self advertising junk screaming "GET ME GET ME GET ME" is, imho, a good idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
