der Berliner 3,249 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Generally, I quite like the new template but it only looks good when all the ads are removed via a browser add-on. It's annoying that some of the images are still stretched and/or low resolution. Really needs some more loving care to avoid being just another generic template. What sort of tool do you use - preferrably for Firefox? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frankie 8,151 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 (edited) Aren't STV involved? I thought we had signed some sort of deal with them recently. PS, Which browser add on do you use to remove ads? Ad-blocker (Firefox ad-on) mate... Perform definitely do the website - not sure if they're associated with STV but I think the actual website design remit will be different from who supplies the content (where STV are likely to advise).

calscot 0 Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 I think it looks cheap, old fashioned and amateurish. They should take a leaf out of BBC's book: bbc.co.uk, which takes tablet pc's and phones into account and has a fresh, modern look which is quick to assimilate. It's also not a great time to start using Flash for video as loads of people now have those crippled, Apple style devices that are not capable of playing them... Ironically they've got an app for that but not one for Android. However, the video automatically plays which is really annoying both for the inadvertent noise which can be embarrassing and when you have a download limit. The ad banner at the top is particularly cringe-worthy and makes it look like they've used some FREE webspace provider. Pathetic. All round poor job in my eyes. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
