They seem to be aware of the teething troubles:
it is indeed cheaper
Did TE lost focus as a company?
oops, wrong thread again!
New site is cool. Nothing fancy, useful.
Stop listening to @Fin25 Syntakt stuff then.
Looks super cool the new website.
FTFY
I like the new layout. I also like how the OT sits all on itâs own as itâs own category/thing. Untouchable.
The old design with the full background images of the machines was much more visually pleasing to look at! This new e-commerce look makes sense from a business standpoint, I guess but nothing about it really stands outâŠ
wahthefook⊠The âheroâ image doesnât load. They havenât provided an option to turn off cookies/data exfiltration to 3rd parties? That means I canât view their site and canât buy anything from them. And it doesnât do anything with JavaScript turned off (admittedly the previous one didnât either). Idiots.
(I have very very little patience for modern web shit. @Elektron, I love your instruments but your new website stinks)
cookies notice gone for now, guess itâs being looked at.
Still there for me. Are you sure you didnât just âaccept allâ?
ahh yes itâs there again. i did not accept but looks like an ad blocker did that for me
not allowing consent is frowned upon by the EU right?
dunno where we stand here in UK since brexit thoughâŠ
I might be afraid of change, but...
However, I agree. I think it made more sense having the news at the top of the home page. Now, when you go between âcatalogâ and âshopâ, only the background colour changes. The first several screen heightâs worth of content is otherwise identical across two distinct sections of the site. Very weird and inefficient design.
Ugh⊠and in the shop, when you hover an image it immediately changes to a different angle of the item⊠UGH⊠totally distracting and unpleasant to use. Some of us (me) use screen zoom centred on the mouse pointer. Flickery shit like this ruins the information-seeking experience. @Elektron, I used to visit your site to learn how the boxes were put together. I now canât do that because you switch the images out from under my cursor. Please donât do this.
Iâm aware this is a data-point of one⊠and I am a bit arrogant about this stuff, but Iâm pretty confident (from years of web dev) that my experiences and responses are a hyperfocus magnification of the general unease a design will cause in the majority of the audience.
And NONE of the images load in Safari 14.
Also⊠seriously⊠itâs your home page: line stuff up.
tuns out it wasnât the ad-blocker that allowed the cookies - theyâre auto-accepted when clicking any links to navigate the site. feels dirty.
Interesting detail: before the Syntakt was placed right after the flagships and before the digis, now itâs after the digis
