beanguy Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hey guys! Would appreciate if you can give me some honest feedback on the new be ans tok.com microblogging portal. Especially if you think that the "bean" posting process and the "bean" format is user friendly enough and easy to use. Thank you.

newseed Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 For me personally, I don't get into blogging or social networking or whatever due to that I don't really have the time. Nevertheless, I can give you my first impression....it didn't impress me nor did it grab my interest to look into it further. The header/logo is okay but could use some visual improvments. It just doesn't appeal to me. Not sure why you would change the home header to a different header for the inside pages. The blog page doesn't even match your main site. People like consistancy once they land on your site so they don't have to guess where the menu is at or wonder if they are on the same site or not. Code, although you did use divs for the layout, you didn't use any heading or paragraph tags. Bold tags are out and so you should use . I could have missed it but I didn't see where you defined a font-family because the font is inconsistant throughout. I don't think this concept is anything new but keep in mind that I just don't get into that stuff much. However, this doesn't mean that you should stop or move on. It just basically telling you that you still got work to do. I do like the title/domain and the motto/tag line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
virtual Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Same as newseed, I'm not into blogging either. From a visual perspective, I liked the home page with the header, but did not like the menu at the bottom. From then on there was no consistency to your site and very little content. It did not inspire me to start being a bean or spilling any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

virtual Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 Yes, that's the one I meant. Once you get to your other pages, except for the blog itself, you have home and login at the top and all the rest at the bottom. To keep your site consistent you need to have all your menu in the same place on each page, and your blog should look like the rest of your site with the menu in the same place. The only way to get back to your pages from the blog is by using the browser back button. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beanguy Posted June 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2009 Hey guys, Thanks again for all your feedback. We've tried to incorporate as much as we could in the re-design of some things. We've mainly redone the main page, the top bar (you can see all features on it when logged in) and some other minor changes. Don't hesitate to give us further feedback. Cheers!
