MadeMyDay Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Came back from holiday, moved in a new office where we want to share the available space with others. So our little coworking project was founded and it needed a website. I started it on friday night and released it finally today (done beside the usual work). It was again a pleasure to use PW for that... http://adlerhost.net The name of the street is "eagle" which is "Adler" in german. And the eagle's nest is called "horst" usually, but we are a host, so we are the localhost in the "adler"street ... ;-) (Haven't even looked in IE, but should work, pretty basic and therefore made it more or less responsive in about half an hour) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiNNuT Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I'm guessing this is a common name in Germany but when i read a reference to Adlerhorst i immediately think of der Führer Headquarters during WWII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diogo Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 oh, that "r" makes all the difference, also in how you pronounce both words. I don't think a German speaking person would make that connection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadeMyDay Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 oh, that "r" makes all the difference, also in how you pronounce both words. I don't think a German speaking person would make that connection. Well, SiNNut was the second (of a few hundreds yet) ;-) And the first one also read "Horst" because he looked on an iPhone and the logo was not readable. But honestly: I don't think someone really will blame us. And even if, he/she wouldn't be the right one for us. We are so far from being Nazis or whatsoever, it would be a ridiculous assumption ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diogo Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 About the website: I like it, but I wonder if the navigation is really necessary... The site works very well only by scrolling, and the navigation can give people the feeling that there is something more than this page, and make them scroll up to press the links only to find out that they have already seen everything. edit: I noticed that you removed the navigation on smaller screens. Works great Maybe you could replace it on bigger screens by a sentence... like a slogan, or so... or by something immediately useful, like the written address. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadeMyDay Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 I know what you mean, but on the other hand it is also a "what to expect on this site". Especially the "prices" are interesting I think, a lot of people will click on that right away. By the way: On the mobile version I already dropped the navigation.

MadeMyDay Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 This is a pretty good idea! Will think about and try it (later today). But: On the other hand, Google recognizes anchors on long sites and routes visitors directly to them (for example if someone searches for "coworking karlsruhe preise" it is likely google will route to #preise). Hmm. Let's see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diogo Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 If your concern is mainly the prices, you could put something like "Have a look at our prices" linking to that part. Would be even more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are so far from being Nazis or whatsoever, it would be a ridiculous assumption ;-) I guess you're winky says enough but to be clear; ofcourse i wasn't trying to imply anything like that I saw the missing r and the host in Adler street part and i like it. I made the connection because of your post and not the site itself, which is nice. Like the way you've integrated a styled Google map. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryan Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Nice work MadeMyDay. Regarding the navigation: I think Diogo makes a good point, but stepping outside just this site, I'm wondering if a client might understand the concept of a site like this if they still have the familiar reference point of that navigation. It's kind of the difference between them thinking of it as a 1-page site, or a creatively-presented multi-page site. Not sure what's best on this particular site, but as a general thing, having that nav seems like a good thing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diogo Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Well... you can also keep the nav always visible with some js. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
