Hello, Jerry!

Even though you delegate pieces of the pie to others, I don't see how you do everything you do here and still have some semblance of a normal existence. It is nothing short of AMAZING.

To both you and year team, my congratulations...

Thanks Rob, but I'm really just a Chef who knows all the recipes off by heart ;) Spent years learning, which makes implementation quick.

The NEW Linux Lite mobile device and tablet friendly website has gone LIVE! A HUGE thank you to all who participated in the Beta and with suggestions some of which we were able to include and change. The website will continue to evolve over time, but the hard work is done and we are now set for the future!

Thank you all very much :)

Jerry

Looking good overall.

Noticed one issue: On desktop browser (same in both FF and Chrome) the menus with drop-down elements have a small space between the actual menu item and the drop-down elements.  This causes the drop-down to sometimes disappear as well as the drop-down top border to flash in and out.



Thanks, I'll look into this.


A few small design suggestions:
1. Remove line below descriptions in the Flexibility section as there is no additional text below it (the border provides a good boundary).
2. Increase duration of image transitions by .5 or 1 sec.  Currently the page "blinks" often.
3. The images in the slider have a lot of empty space.  Have you considered a more rectangular look for them? (this would also reduce the vertical scrolling)


Some good suggestions there, will see what we can do. Cheers :)

Here's another example of how the pictures overflow on a phone browser:

You have to zoom out to fully see the screenshots.

Other than this, the site is good!

Images are formatted for landscape mode on phones and should fit fine on tablets, this is by design as it is not uncommon for people to turn their phones around to landscape when viewing websites.

Hmm, I don't usually turn my phone to landscape mode when looking at websites, maybe a hint is required to tell the user "This site looks better in landscape mode"?

All images that didn't fit, now fit except the feather at the welcome screen (this is in portrait mode).

The new menu button looks great as well!

I'm off to check on my other devices...

I HAVE noticed that on the screenshots page, there are no links to return to the rest of the site. I had to click the 'back' button.


This is mentioned in the first post :)


Double-clicking DOES fix the home page photo issue. I didn't know it would do that. I imagine most other people don't have a clue about that, either. If I notice anything else, I'll amend this post...


I'm not sure 'most people' would be entirely accurate, double tapping is a relatively common phone action given how long smartphones have been around. Cheers Rob :)

In addition, double tapping on a webpage will format it correctly in portrait mode on mobile devices.

Hello!

Haven't checked everything on all devices yet, but I HAVE looked on the wide-screen laptop and on the phone. So far, I've noticed nothing major being wrong with any of it.

I HAVE noticed that on the screenshots page, there are no links to return to the rest of the site. I had to click the 'back' button.

Saw nothing wrong with the existing home page - one page-  or the site itself to need changing tbh.


Because mobile devices, the first post clearly states why.

But viewed on a Dell D610 laptop it now needs *more* scrolling (: It's no major issue but that is what I meant.

I just viewed on my samsung ace android 2.3.6 again and the change to the menu works. It catches the eye on the first page to load. The fact it's there on every page makes navigation easy/ier.

Update.
On my Galaxy Note 1 phone,running android jellybean, on Boat Browser.
With your couple of tweaks, looking really good.

It runs mega quick, which is important, there's nothing worse than looking into a new site and it runs so slow, so you give up before you start. So no problems on this point.

Thanks for all the good work.

Keith
