Discussion amongst website relaunch BioDIP team

Search

• at the top of the search field, when the page is charged the letters in the sentence "Biopolis Dresden Imaging Platform" are separated "Bio polis D resden I maging P latform"

SW: it does not do that for me in any browser (tried Firefox, Safari, Chrome on Mac OS 10.7.5) ... Valeria, which browser/OS where you using?

VC: i'm using Chrome and iOS 10.7.5, maybe is a problem in my computer, i will check in others.

ST: In my firefox and internet explorer its fine

Grey bar on page top'

• BSD and VC: this bar looks like an error message, like the screen shot, maybe we can try with another color.

No favicon in IE 11.0.9600.18015

• Make it a bit more slim
• Is the greenish line on the very bottom of the bar intended to be there?

Search field appearance

• the left corners of the search field are rounded (the right corners as well as the corners in other device versions are pointed); I think the rounded corners look nicer...shall we stick with them for all versions? What do you think?

VC: agree, rounded corners look better

"Belt" & three round icons in between the boxes

• Shall we highlight buttons when hovering over it? - What do you think?

SW: yes, that would be helpful

IR: yes, could be nice

ST: yes, nice idea

VC: yes, good idea

• Shall we make it more slim by removing the headline "Biopolis Dresden Imaging Platform"? On the otehr hand it is good if you always see on what page you are... - What do you think?

SW: Yes, good idea

IR: I'd leave the headline but make it slimmer in general.

VC: looks better slimmer but always with the headline

Add top-slideshow images to all subpages?!

• Do we want to have one and the same slide show on each subpage?
  • Suggestion: customize the slide show to the page topic, e.g. images of microscopes for the light microscope subpage? - What do you think?

SW: I think that, yes, it would be nice to have the slideshows customized. However, I wonder if that isn't too much effort...do we have enough (different) pics for all subpages?

IR: Yes,I'm for customizing the images/slide show. If there aren't enough pics we just display one static pic that fits the current page content.

ST: Yes, lets do it customized for the five main subnavigation pages. I’d not create separate slidshows for every single subpage. And maybe with a longer time interval for every picture?

VC: I think the customized slidesshows is a good idea, especially if there is a new system in campus is a good way to show it

Timeline

• Date should be given like this: 08 September 2015 not 08. SEP 2015

SW: really? wouldn't the circle get much too big when the month is spelt out(or the font too small)? I think three letter - appriviations for the month is fine..

IR: Mmmh, that's a good point, "September" will never fit into the circle unless font size is reduced - then we better stick with the 3 letters, I'd prefer "Sep" to "SEP", though ...

ST: We start from NOW to PAST, right? Didn’t we decide for little green points after the newest entry, like … (should be before the first button )?

SW: hm, I thought we wanted the 3 dots (vertically) at the bottom if not the entire timeline is visible at once, so that people know to scroll further down for more (and then up again as well, of course)

VC: i also understood the same, the 3 dots will be at the bottom if the timeline is not visible at once and if you are at the bottom and you want to see the recent events and the page is "loading" the 3 vertical dots will be above.
