new mt3 site design coming soon

22:28 Friday 11 January 2019 JST

I wrote a post on Hugo forums to find a site designer who can make a nice design for Marble Track 3. As of this writing, the website uses my tweak of Castanet, and looks like this https://www.marbletrack3.com/">Marble Track 3 site v2 (via archive.org)

Because the project takes some time to explain, I want the website to quickly give people an overview, and allow people to click in to get more details if they like.

One designer replied to my Hugo post. We had a chat and this is their first design iteration. https://www.deligence.com/clients/marbletrack3/ I made a rough copy here https://vigilant-mayer-608cf8.netlify.com/

One thing Jimmy noted was they used a hexagon motif where circles would be more appropriate. I spent a couple hours trying to reverse engineer SVG paths

Thanks to https://svghelper.com/ for helping me create this shape

HI Sanjay

Thank you for the design.

I really like the video embedded in the header graphic, but it seems too dark to me; can it be made somewhat lighter color?

I like that the site is responsive.

Easy changes:

1a) The VIDEO section should be directly below "These guys are great!
Just look at them go!".  So please swap the order of OUR WORKERS to be
below VIDEO

1b) remove rectangle from around VIDEO section so it will seem
connected to above text "Look at them go!"

2a) In the TRACK (PARTS) section, the Made by sections should not have
a space before the colon ("Made by: " is correct)

2b) In the TRACK (PARTS) section, there should be no space before
commas after workers names ("Dr Sugar, Mr McGlue, Squarehead" is
correct)

3) My friend made a rough logo that can replace the four circles logo.
He will simplify it so it works at a small size

Harder changes

4) Please add a placeholder for the language selection.  There should
be two languages for now: English and Japanese

5) The hexagon theme doesn't make sense with the marbles; can the
theme be round instead of hexagons?  Here are some examples of
unnecessary hexagons, but there are many
more. https://www.deligence.com/clients/marbletrack3/images/hexline_2.png

5 suggestion (easy change)) For the workers, perhaps above could be
approximately this shape

6) Anchors in the top right for Twitter, Youtube, Github are too wide.
The anchors overlap so that when mouse cursor is over Twitter anchor,
the Youtube anchor is active.

7) FYI: The current site has no Javascript, so the new site should
still work without javascript.  (no fancy graphics need without
Javascript, but the site should work Web 1.0 if javascript is off)

8) There are many errors in browser console.  Please remove or repair the broken code

9) How do you plan to receive feedback from users?  This site will be
hosted on Netlify.

10) OUR WORKERS section should be dynamically generated so as I add
more workers, they will show up on the top page in OUR WORKERS
section.

best regards
Rob

今朝テストしながら、仕事のお客様に電話もらいました。「あの、サイトにロー ギンできない、また。」

気分は良くなってなりました。「すみませんでした、すぐに直します。」

すぐに直しましたけど「また」って。それは問題です。なんでそのサイトはす ぐにダウンです？
