The website is created to help Danish couples learn the Bridal Waltz used at weddings.
Learning is done through a series of videos and an option to book an instructor is possible as well.
Iād very much like your feedback on the usability of the site. The visitors are often watching all the videos, but Iād like more to like the Facebook page and/or visit the āPersonlig undervisningā-page, which is where the private lessons are.
Man, @Curting, I really, really really like the colors and general UI of the website.Especially the Videolektioner pages. Itās a very nice design, thatās intuitive and self explanatory. Compliments.
Maybe, a very small suggestion, is to do something with the grey arrow on the videolektioner page. Maybe you can do a small hover and click (or press) interaction.
Thanks a lot for the comment ā itās nice to get specific feedback from likeminded people
Can you help me out understanding what grey arrow youāre referring to?
What if you give only the triangle a pulsing action (size 95% to 105%, loop) on hover with an interaction?
Of give it a similar to youtube / vimeo interaction.
Hey Diu!
I just updated the website with several new design features including new videoplayer menu design and a button ā form on the index page. Since you were so kind to give me feedback last time, I hope I have the chance to get your feedback once again?
Alsoā¦ To decrease the bouncerate I animated the primary button on the index page. Try wait 6 seconds without doing anything and youāll see!
Cheers!
Overall I think its a nice simple site, yet, i donāt like the landing page, it is boring for me, it can be hard to read white letters on light blue background, and the layout with the small video feels like an old style website.
Maybe try something else for the landing? the first impression is everything. try to wow the user on the first page they land. i will be interested with what you will have to say to this and your thought process when designing this page.
Do you think that itās better than the current one?
EDIT:
Shitā¦ I accidently hit āPublishā after making this post. So Iāve just fixed all errors and made it responsive, so that I finally can go to bed now. I hope you like it. You can find it here: http://dansbrudevals.dk
the thing that bothers me with these two sections of quotes is that throughout the whole website all the content is aligned with the container, then at the end suddenly it looks broken. if not broken, then something that was put together very fast without further thought.
I saw you post above for any solutions that I would propose so how about something like this?
i increased the width of the two items to align with the container and the other content. I also increased the margin in order for the content to not feel āsquishedā. This way I think it helps the user navigate more freely and it feels in order. That, or this is just a personal problem that I canāt get over which is the fact that it does not have harmony and cuts itself off unexpectedly at the end. But I think this is a solution that will keep it in the style of the container.
One more thing:
I like how some items are closer compactly into their sections but sometimes I feel as if it is compacted too much. The footers are great but I would try to increase some margin space in between the main content.
Notice how with a little more margin added to the top and bottom it suddenly feels more of a smooth transition where the user is not being rushed?
This is mostly based on my opinions and the fact that I like harmony in a website, where the transitions to one section to the next is not rushed but rather prolonged into a scroll. But this might just be me, so you will have to make the choice.
But what do you think of for what I mentioned so far? Do you think it is reasonable? Are there any reasons why you chose to layout the website the way you did?
I appreciate your detailed feedback and included solutions.
Please feel free to keep pointing out things that irritate you. I learn from them!
I agree with you about the alignments and Iāve fixed it asap.
You mentioned that the āinverted colorsā on the front page (white text on blue background) was a bad idea. I generally follow your idea with a high text/background contrast for content, but I made an exception this time since thereās not a lot of text to read. Howās the readability for you?
Thanks a bunch!
And thanks for trying out the form!
Are you joking with me or would you actually watch the videos if they had english subtitles?
Iām planning on making a Norwegian and Swedish version of the website, since the language is fairly simmilarā¦ But I havenāt considered the English-speaking market. Should I?
Iām sure many of my friends would want to understand those dance lessons.
Although Dutch people can generally make some sense of the written text,
hearing is a bit different, so a translation would be useful. English is
preferred I guess, since that has the widest reach.
The text for me is fine since I have a retina 4K screen, but I was just wondering what the lower end monitors are displaying. Recently I had to use a computer at my school for a project and when I went on a website I had constantly went on at home there was a very big difference. Not only was the monitor (which was the āaverageā monitor) very pixelated, but slight variations in colors that I had seen on my iMac were being displayed as one color on the āaverageā monitor.
This is where I am worried users with āaverageā monitors will not be able to tell that there is something thereā¦ or might have to look very closely to tell that there is something there.
True. I understand what you mean, @VladimirVitaliyevich.
I also believe the font weight could be too thin on low-res screens. itās just not pretty at normal weight either.
Then weāre back to the question of whether or not I should prioritize UX or prettiness
I just published a new version of the front page to meet your high expectations. I found a ruler to align things rather effective!
Apart from the stylization of the page, I took the secondary button away and replaced it with the form it previously faded itself into upon clicking. Now the user has to click one time less ā I just wonder if the page is still clean? What do you think?
I experimented with drop shadow (which I normally despise) on the white font. It should create more contrast.
Iām looking very much forward to hearing your feedback yet again
Although I do have one more thing that i find slightly annoying, I associate the content of the page with the section due to the dramatic difference in color. Therefore when I hover over the section I feel as if the content inside of it is also part of the section. Thats why i think it would be wiser to have the hover be over the whole section rather than just the content for the 5-star rating to light up. Do you know what I mean?
