felix Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 As I've mentioned in this thread there is quite a bunch of websites that we (neuwaerts) are launching these days. Today i present to you: sgh-net.de. SGH is a german specialist for business process outsourcing (i.e. they scan all of your incoming paper mail and make it available digital or take care of your companys invoicing) . The website features plenty of (css)3d and large imagery stuff to play with. Sadly there is no english version yet. Have fun exploring and thanks for your feedback: sgh-net.de 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rockett Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Something wrong with your public root? I have to click on htdocs to load up the site... Links don't seem to be working either - must be a rewrite issue there... If I wanted to see a specific page, I'd have to visit the following, for example: sgh-net.de/htdocs/index.php/?it=loesungen/scan-und-dokumentenmanagement/scanning-von-altbestanden/ But, from what I can gather on the home page, site looks good to me!

felix Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Have you tried reloading it? Maybe one of my coworkers was still making adjustments to the htaccess (it was just launched). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raymond Geerts Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 The homepage loads fine. But clicking on any of the menu items in the main nav i get a "Not Found" error. Site homepage looks great by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

felix Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 Ok. I think it's *really* fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Rockett Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hehe, indeed - it is working now. I have a small critique about the boxes on the home page, specifically the ones at the bottom left of the image. I think it's because of the font width that the text is slightly hard to read over the darker portion of the image. Obviously, it is readable, but there's a small amount of strain there. I also see that there's what appears to be a language switcher at the top right. Will there be any new languages in the future? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totoff Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hi Felix, very nice site, though - as a designer - I'm a bit unsure about the very strong "boxiness" of the design. Do you know what I like about your postings apart from showcasing great sites? They give proof that webdesign as a business isn't dead! Good work! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to read. I'll check if we can adjust the transparency or add some text shadow to make it more readable. Yup: sgh is operating internationally so there will be an english version in the future. Btw: Thanks for all your feedbacks. They're really helpful!

Do you know what I like about your postings apart from showcasing great sites? They give proof that webdesign as a business isn't dead! Good work! Hey totoff, The "boxiness" is part of their corporate design. I think it's a matter of taste rather than an issue. I personally like it a lot though it has some drawbacks when doing a responsive design (same/fixed height & width boxes are really hard to implement in the way they are used within the site as the content needs to always fit in because you aren't allowed to vertically expand the box). Webdesign as a business is getting harder and harder as you need clients who understand it's not enough (for them) to buy a (mostly awesome looking) wordpress template for 50 bucks. I don't think "Webdesign" is a dying profession but it's shifting from developing "websites" to developing app like information systems that are device and context agnostic. I really like the direction Mozilla is going with it's Firefox OS and it's freshly released developer browser and hope the "web vs. native war" will get more equal as web technologies like webrtc, webaudio, webgl, ecmascript 6[...] evolve and are well supported across all devices. In my opinion it would be a big loss if the openness of the web is interchanged with closed ecosystems like apples or microsofts. But this is propably worth it's own thread 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
