Ableton main website - what happened?
Ableton main website - what happened?
Wtf is up with the website? It used to be great. Now it's looking like a css 101 exercise by a student with boxes overflowing, blocky sections of hovering text, endless vertical scrolling... there's no link to the forums or all the great community resources. The site used to look and function great imo, was always impressed. Is this a fluke, or???

The lack of a link to the forums is a criminal oversight. I routinely use the main site to navigate here.

Maybe Germany/Netherlands, I don't think the French and British are this quirky.. The latter two are more, "Earth tones, and lower contrasts."myrnova wrote:I like it. Very european, made in Berlin. Finally.
However.. I am not going to be as negative about it, as some of the others! In fact, "the main website looks great." Its these forum colors are hard to deal with!

I think it's an indication that Ableton is trying to distance this forum from its corporate image.l3xh2k wrote:The lack of a link to the forums is a criminal oversight. I routinely use the main site to navigate here.
Re: Ableton main website - what happened?
they've actually strapped the forum to a giant dildo, hence the color.

Exactly. Forums are dying everywhere, it is called "facebook effect" or something.humnumb wrote:I think it's an indication that Ableton is trying to distance this forum from its corporate image.l3xh2k wrote:The lack of a link to the forums is a criminal oversight.

A) Why would a software company try to distance itself from its own special interest forum? It's the number one way to get direct feedback, develop a better understanding of the customer, and perform market research. It also let's customers give tech support to one another which takes a huge burden off your support division.
B) I don't see how Facebook is a replacement for special interest forums. I mean sure, maybe general interest forums, but certainly not things like software user groups.
Re: Ableton main website - what happened?
Have to agree, I do not like it at all, sorry guys but the redesign does not fit the product or the corporate image, it is almost as if you've used a standard "2012 Web App Product Template" and put "Ableton" on it. A big giant picture of Push is nice (congratulations on that, btw), but you could have done that w/o the redesign.db2 wrote:Wtf is up with the website? It used to be great.

Trying to out-rectangle Microsoft, it seems.
Better watch out if MS is as stingy about sharp corners as Apple is about rounded ones.
As a side note: my astigmatism really makes the new logo uncomfortable.
