Later tonight (when most of our European visitors will be fast asleep) I will close japanreference.com for about two hours in order to upgrade the web site. I will redirect all traffic to the forum.
Dave, I appreciate your feedback. During the past few days I have received a couple of similar reactions, but I know at least one person who intends to use our current (orange) design which - by the way - didn't reflect colours traditionally associated with Japan.
Anyhow, focusing on functionality and usability, I do prefer a minimalistic approach to web design. The actual change (and the admin's pride, lol) is our new backend, a faster and much more expandable directory. I am still far from finishing, I have a few busy days ahead, but I'm always glad to hear your opinion. Thanks again.
i do like these graphics though... i can change the colors to red and white, maybe put a pre WWII japanse flag in the banner and write japan forum in caligraphy would be nice and done pretty easily.
@ Dave: I will definitely include the last 5 links added. The index page is still pretty "raw" and boring, I'm planning to add a few more graphics and colours if creativity strikes me again.
@ jeisan: I tried to do that, but wasn't happy about the results. Also, the new header logo is 1,8 kB in size, less than a third of the logo here at the forum. Size matters after all, lol.
Thanks Thomas! I want you to know that I do stop here everyday to see what's new. I really do appreciate the hard work you put into this site. Thanks a lot!!!!
Caught it! Well I think it is a handy feature so we can see what is new. I know that it also doesn't help with people digging around in the already added links.
Now if we could get Japanese companies to relax their "BA degree" thing to hiring people, I would be a lot happier!
Thomas, keep up the great work all is fine and dandy and much more exccessible(spell?)
This comes from an individual with no tech back-ground or knowledge!! so from my point of view,, "this suits me fine", hahaha,,,
