People,

** I am writing this topic without any proposal of hurting anyone competences or design tastes !! **

I am on Euroharmony for some time (not much as almost as the majority of you :)) and i am starting to be a little tired of Euroharmony site...

What about opening a new Forum Topic for people to help giving some design ideas to a new site design ? ..  ;)

Best Regards,

What is it about the current site that you are tired off?

EHM-0948 Bruno:
:)

Well, i am not tired of a specific part of the site :) ...

I think we need to modify the general layout of the site in the objective to make it more attractive.
Of course this type os analysis is to gain more pilots, and (the main objective) to make pilots more "inside" the company.
Right now the funcionality of the site is excelent. We have a pilot area that shows much information that on other companies we dont have.
But, i think we need more activity for the pilots, on the site. And this gain of activity can be started with a new site design.
Right now, these are some ideas, and I dont know for sure since when this site design is on the air, but right now, i think it is not modern, and a little bit harder to navigate....
For instance, the first page (the logo with the airplane) why is that needed ? What is the objective of that page ? That type of pages were created on the past with the objective of create some "suspense" on the site (like, be prepared to something that you never have seen!) ... It is not necessary i think and this type of approach was abandoned some time ago. :)

I am saying this because I am not the area of aplication development on the real life, and nowadays VA's are more closely to Applications than to static sites :).

... and I was, some time ago, the vice-president of Eurodirect. A VA that disapeared some 5 years ago, and belonged to Gateway Airlines.

Best regards,

My personal opinion. I like the first page as it gives first time visitors an imediate idea what the site is about. If you were looking for something related to airplanes you will now you are on the right site. If you were not looking for aiviaton related site you will also know you are wrong. THe main page will not give this away that easy.

And I guess the more frequent visitors like members just make a link directly to the mainpage. DOn't get me wrong. I'm very intrested in any other idea's you might have.

EHM-0948 Bruno:
Well, let's see what the first page says :

- On the top shows a name of "something" with a logo.
- On the middle, an airplane flying...
- ... and the name of the "company" as internet site.
- A button "Enter"
- ... and a Copyright notice ...

How can you have an immediate ideia of what the site is ?
It is a Travel Reservations Site ?
It is an Aviation News Site ?
It is a real aviation brandmark site ?

Of course if you read the "small lines" you notice the words "Virtual Airline" ... but what i mean is that we should have a design more compatible and more intuitive to a VA than this one, and that could start with the first page :).

I should remark that this topic is sensible, and people must be opened to ideas. Right now, I am not saying that this site is bad. I am saying that we should innovate and build a better site, full of pilot's ideas and with a more intuite navigational system if the majority of the pilots wants to.
