New website for The Frontier Group
It's been a little while coming, but I'm proud to announce that The Frontier Group's new website is live and operational. The site is running off Hotrod, one of the new servers that we're migrating everything onto.
I've finished entering the content, and no doubt Adam will find a few spelling mistakes, but I figured 3:00AM was a good time to make the sucker live.
The next project is to make sites for AuroraCMS and DestinySMS. At the moment there's a bit of info on the main TFG site, but I tihnk we're going to have sub-sites that show screenshots and the like for each product. Though... we could just point the domains to the product page on our main site... that would probably work better, and mean we didn't have information in more than one place.
The only bug I've found is with the large menu item "Technologies We Use", the left side isn't rounded in my browser. It might be a Linux fonts thing though.
Let us know what you think.
I found a typo. In the Aurora CMS description, second paragraph, second sentence, ‘witha’ should be ‘with a’.
I like the little touches like putting the +61 on the phone number, and using cellphone instead of mobile, it gives you an international feel. As you would appreciate, it is important to mirror the way that your ideal clients operate.
The “Technologies We Use” title was too wide for the background image - I Didnt expect you to have long titles as the image seemed to start to repeat itself.
I emailed you a fix for it this morning as it showed up on my source in IE and Firefox, so it wasnt just a linux thing.
Jack: Thanks for the spot, though I think Adam changed it before I could get a chance.
Jimmy: The fix works a treat.
It might be a cache issue with my work … but if I go to http://thefrontiergroup.com.au, it shows me the old site, whereas http://www.thefrontiergroup.com.au shows the new site.
Other than that, it looks great and works a treat! :)
I’d say it’s either a cache issue with a proxy server or DNS hasn’t updated for you yet. Wierd.
So much easier leaving off the ‘www.’ nowadays. Plus I think it looks neater if you use it on your stationary/stickers whatever else without it, its a bit like having the http:// on there also.
I like the two icons in the top right. Whats with the ..html suffix on filenames?
Aurora, which is what powers this site, uses some smart filtering on the URL to generate meaningful Apache log entries. For example, the page “contact_us.2.html” doesn’t actually exist, but it makes an entry in the log file that is easy to read (and meaningful when we run AWStats over it). The number refers to the page ID in the database, so you could hit “asdfawefwe.2.html” and you’d have the right content, but we’d have a shit entry in the stats.
Prior to this, you had to either have custom logs written, or manually cross-reference page IDs with page names, which sucked.
Nice.
sucked date mind you ;)
and yeah, mlambie’s not as silly as he seems :)
Yes, I am not silly.
