Fokke Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 http://www.tamperemusicfestivals.fi/jazz/ The four-day jazz festival starts today. There will be a lot of traffic on the website, but I'm sure everything will run smoothly since ProCache makes the site run very lightweight and fast. In previous years this website has been running on WordPress or MODX. This year we switched to ProcessWire, and it has been a huge improvement. Everything on the site is fully editable, which makes the client very satisfied. Also, PW has revolutionized my workflow as well. I have quite the same feeling as when I switched from Windows to OS X : ) Logo is designed by the artistic director of the festival, everything else by me. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totoff Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 very nice site. one thing to polish though: on the media page (http://www.tamperemusicfestivals.fi/jazz/fi/media/) hovering over the thumbnails shifts the rows a bit. i assume this is not by intention. EDIT: Win 8.1 (awful, don't buy), Chrome 30.0.1599.101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adrian Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Great looking site! I especially love the responsive design changes. The thumbnail hovering doesn't seem to have any issues for me - OSX Chrome 30.0.1599.101 The only thing I find a little confusing is the "In English". It makes me thing the site is always actually in english. I think if it were just worded as "English" it would be more logical. I also wonder if perhaps the selected language should be the one highlighted in orange, although not totally sure on this as the logic of the alternate language looking like a button (in orange) also makes sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MatthewSchenker Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Greetings, Wonderful site! Terrific energy and vibrant theme colors and typography. Lots of fun to explore, and really easy to find the information you need. Thanks for sharing, Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teppo Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 I really like the site, looks and works great both on desktop and mobile. It's awesome to see more Finnish ProcessWire sites too (Planning to visit the event opening night today, by the way.) @adrian: interesting point about "English" vs. "In English" -- latter is pretty much the de facto standard way for linking to English language version around here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fokke Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 Thank you for your heart-warming feedback! @totoff Yeah, I have noticed this too. When you hover an image, the other thumbnails are shifting 1px in both horizontal and vertical directions. This is very weird and seems to happen randomly. I think that CSS3 transitions I have used here have something to do with this. @teppo Did you visit the opening event? Especially the first band called Toto was awesome. Very hypnotic!

DaveP Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 @fokke & @totoff I suspect rounding issues are the cause - the problem only appears at certain widths, so far as I can tell. (Doesn't detract from an excellent site, even so. ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teppo Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 @Fokke: yeah, sure did -- and Toto was totally amazing. Only had time to see their gig, though. Person sitting next to me was quite literally sleeping (at least that's what it seemed like) and after they had stopped drumming someone commented that it was like "the Orient Express departing." Unique experience to say the least 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Nice! Well done! Also really like the way the responsive design works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicolas Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Hi Fokke, I'm impressed by the speed of the pages loading !! ProCache is doing really well here. Did you use any other strategy to make the site that fast ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fokke Posted November 3, 2013 Author Share Posted November 3, 2013 Hello Nicolas! ProCache is doing the hard job here, and doing it pretty much flawlessly. Other optimizations include: - Minified and combined CSS and JS - Minified HTML (module by michamichamicha) - Optimized images So, nothing too fancy here. I also tried to keep the server request count as low as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mscore Posted November 4, 2013 Share Posted November 4, 2013 Great work! A perfect example case for ProcessWire: rich content, fast performance, multilingual, fully editable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
