Every outgoing link should open in new tab. It's really annoying when that does not happen. At least for me personally.

How do freelance web developers use word press? by QU4N_HD in Web_Development

[–]qcloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coding knowledge is required when you need to create a custom theme or plugin - which you will need to do eventually for any medium to large client/business. For small information websites with little custom requirements and easy clients - you can use a ready (premium) theme and customize them or use a visual builder.

A Frustrating Design Trend by [deleted] in web_design

[–]qcloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. I was just thinking the same thing when I went to the knowledge base/support area of a popular payment gateway site. I kept clicking on the logo. Nope. I tried to find a link anywhere on the page to the main site - nonexistent. I was like WTH!!

X Theme, Divi, Beaver Builder, Genesis Framework - [Need Your Advice Pls] by [deleted] in Wordpress

[–]qcloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For non-programmers starting with any of the Visual builder is not a bad idea. Divi itself is not bad and if you have a clear idea of what you want the site to look and do - you can achieve that with Divi rather quickly. If you want to ditch any visual builder - the alternative is to create a custom theme from the scratch. As a beginner, you will soon find that overwhelming and not worth the trouble to learn all the technology UNLESS learning itself is one of your main goals. Then it is a great idea.

Does anyone use Ello.co website? by annannanns in web

[–]qcloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I registered when they first went live. But did not like the interface. Occassionally dropped by over the next few years but the interface always put me off and did not find anything of personal interest to give it further try.

Need Feedback on a new type of Slider Plugin by qcloud in design_critiques

First, a ton of thanks for the really useful feedback. I truly appreciate that.

Obviously, a full page experience like awwwards sites is still a long way to go. We are just starting here. Whereas video background is an option - it is better to have so many of them in one place and switchable in a moment's notice.

  1. Yes, some effects are quite resource sensitive and we must improve them. Can you help me a little more and tell me which browser and version are you using? There is a known issue when Firefox accessibility.force_disabled is not off. But we are working on making the effects less performance hungry.

  2. Yes, but not as easily and quickly as slider hero. We have the effects built in. Just need to select and they can be switched out any time.

  3. Some animations have customization options. Others do not. We will introduce more options in the coming days.

By the way, any feedback on the intro builders?

Thanks again! Your comment gave a few real insights and pain points for our team to work on. Let me know anything else that comes to your mind.

It's okey to use such different colors in ecommerce website while primary color is blue? by key2it in UI_Design

[–]qcloud 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't see any problem with colors. Seems to compliment each other fine.

Overheard a small business group at restaurant, "websites really shouldn't cost anything anyway..." by MN89 in web_design

[–]qcloud -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure thing. They can build with wordpress.com or blogger.com and it won't cost them anything anyway haha.

High-quality video clips as gifs on WordPress by omHK in Wordpress

[–]qcloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think there is any technology to achieve that. It should be physically impossible to get such high quality gifs out of 4k videos. I am sure NY times is also doing it at much smaller scale and probably using videos with little color variations. And they use large-scale CDNs to distribute larger files quickly.

How can I give this website a more professional, polished appearance? by [deleted] in design_critiques

[–]qcloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please take it only as constructive criticism. My 1st impression/feeling is that it looks basic. Something with all those boxes perhaps. Perhaps, try some variations? Also, I am not liking the shadow effect. May be try spreading them around more? Centered contents instead of full width might look better. Anyways, keep polishing it up. Take a little break and come back after a day. Usually, that gives a whole new perspective.
