Amiga Anywhere site

[Crispy_Beef]

Actually, I have just revisted the site, as I thought I was a tad harsh before, and I can now say I hate it.  It's embarrasing.

Amiga is pushing itself as the company that can create and have content running on multiple platforms, which is just amazing, but hopefully all the content won't look like this.

Not impressed.

Tip: turn of your speakers before you visit the site, the sound is awful!

Also I hate the purple and blue colour scheme.


At the time I visited the site started to take an age to load, now I dont get anything from it.  Wonder if its all the eagre visitors overloading the server.

My Opera 5, and Opera 6 did not work either.
The color is too dark. Perhaps the webmaster should create 2 versions of the page (like TAO).

One is a simple, bright version and the other is for MS IE!

I doubt that Espial Java browser will work with the page either. Espial owner is Invisible Hand, the same company that support AMIGA Inc.

Sweet Jesus, this is an abomination! de.amiga.com used to look almost OK. They really are serious about this new 14-year-old-girl's-weblog-on-Geocities image. It's far worse than some of the Awful Links Of the Day I've seen on somethingawful.com! Hey, why not go all the way, you need even more colours, anim-GIFs, clipart and  jerky Flash animations with embarrassing slogans shouted inside an empty oil barrel.

And that f*cking horrendous "Amiga Anywhere" logo everywhere! Why oh why do they want to stray from the simple, beautiful and elegant Amiga logo? Who at Amiga went insane and decided that their logo ought to be associated with the poster of some 1980's sci-fi extreme low budget C-movie?

I hope it's not too late to adopt a consistent professional corporate image, because anyone who sees this graphical vomit might be scared off and don't come back.

(Posted this on another thread but as it pertains directly to this I'll post it here too.....)

Firstly can I say 'm not a huge fan of the name "Amiga anywhere"! sounds far to generic for my liking ;/

Now about that website - you DO know that it's an extremely bad idea to put black text on a very dark blue picture background, don't you??

Does someone actually LOOK at the site once its coded Before its put on the net for general consumption???

The whole site is just too dark and depressing imo. So I harken back to what someone else said on here - get a graphic designer to do you a standardised setup!!

(thats when viewing it on an Amiga with Voyager and IBrowse btw)

The text is black because no current Amiga browser supports even the most basic CSS.
Actually, the background is about the only thing I find remotely attractive on the site. That's with a browser that supports post-1996 W3C standards, BTW... This is a major reason to why my Amiga is used less and less often.

I think they should get the site working before they launch it to the public. :/

[Chathurawind]

That's one ugly web site

Is it really that hard for Amiga Inc. to make something on the web that works on Amiga and doesn't look like it's from the eighties?

Amiga will be the laughing object of everyone with a web browser if the sites keep coming like this.

Hey Microsoft got slated by the press because of some of their sites only working with IE. This fails to display any content at all In Opera 6.1. (my prefered browser) on the home page.

Oh, yeah...
That page is really low-budget.

Nothing runs properly on opera.

It does when you write valid code to W3C standards :-)
