Rick Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I talked with bengals.com around three weeks ago. I was complaining about the ugly B on the homepage. They replaced it, and then they told me about their new website. They have a NEW bengals.com website they are almost done building. They told me they wanted to launch it before the first game. So, hang-in-there, soon they will have a new website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stripes Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Well I hope they don't mess with it too much! I don't want a bunch of lag-making sound effects and video, like the Baltimore or Tampa Bay sites.I don't want it to change, but it is nice to see them responding to the popular demands amongst most Bengals fans.By the way, Rick, your avatar frightens me.

John Stofa Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Maybe I'm in the minority, but I love Bengals.com just the way it is. What's to complain about? I hope they don't change it too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you want a bunch of animation and other stuff that takes forever to load and makes it impossible to find anything?I don't need eye candy, personally.

No. I don't like flash either.What I DO want are graphics that don't look like they were made by a 1st grader. The logo is an insult to web designers everywhere. I can't believe they actually paid someone for that...It's entirely possible to have a nice, fast-loading site, that looks nice while at the same time being organized well so that information is easy to find. It's not asking a lot... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Antonio Bengal Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 My complaint is that it's butt ugly. It looks like it was drawn by a two years old boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 By the way, Rick, your avatar frightens me. Forget about his avatar. What about his signature?

HairOnFire Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I like the current design for the reasons already mentioned. I'm looking for news and content and they provide that. Everything else is a distraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see anything wrong with that picture, personally. What's so bad about it? It is a creative picture involving the greatest Bengals coach ever, and his current competition, and it tells visitors where they are.What else do you need?

It's just a very amateurish photoshop job. If you're going to pay someone to design a site, then they better know a little more about graphics than that. A million people out there could have done a better job for free.Shoot...if I were them, I'd host a logo design contest, and pick the best one. They'd get a much improved logo, and wouldn't have to pay a dime for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Stofa Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 I don't go to Bengals.com to look at the logo at the top of the page. I go there for Bengals info.

It is possible, you know. It's not like this is a one or the other type of situation... I'd like to have a website that people go to and instantly think, hey that's nice, rather than "For the love of God, I think I'm blind!!"Again, I especially feel this way if you're paying for someone to do this. If you're spending your money then you should get a quality product. Having a decent-looking website doesn't mean that Hobson's articles and all the valuable information will instantly vanish into some infinite abyss. Check out JTs new site. I could do without the flash, but it's a nice, clean looking site, and all of the information is readily available at the top of the page:http://www.jt97.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.mainI just need to quit teaching and pursue a career as a web designer.

bengalindian Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 Sky, people are just afraid of change. Once it happens, everyone will be all, "Oh, look how sweet the new site is!!!"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Antonio Bengal Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 One more time...Making a cleaner, more aesthetically pleasing web site IS NOT THE SAME THING AS getting rid of content. For those of you who keep chiming in about content, what difference does it make if some of the rest of us want to change the "skin" of the site? We do not want any of the content to disappear either.Sorry. I'm a picky graphics guy. It's just a very amateurish photoshop job. If you're going to pay someone to design a site, then they better know a little more about graphics than that. A million people out there could have done a better job for free.My sentiments exactly.

MacD BengalFan Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 It has got to be the worst site in the NFL. Bland. No style. It shows how cheap Mike Brown is. Yes, you want to find information quickly, but at least make the site more appealing to the eye. The Reds site is better then Bengals.com. I hope they do set up a new site. The current on s***ks!!!

I guess the fear is the content will take a back seat to flash. If they want to dress up the skin and keep the same content, fine by me, but flash in place of content? I would not like that and too many sites I go by have far more flash than content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
