New version of FotoLoad

September 25th, 2008

FotoLoad is in use for >3 months now by one photo studio and transfered >15 GB of photos already. We haven’t yet started marketing it to others but we will start now. Last 2 weeks we made extensive testing under different browsers and operating systems, under extensive loads and photos of size that you don’t see normally yet (basically 4 photos glued together to get a mega-photo). The load testing showed no problems at all. And the biggest “bug” which was also the reason we started testing then appeared to be “human factor” in admin interface. We changed the admin so that this mistake can’t happen any more and we added some small improvements to the client that I think will make up a much better user experience. The main thing is that now you get visual feedback when something is loading, uploadint, etc in the various stages of the usage (not just image uploading). This was something that I was aware I need to do from the start so I am happy it’s finally done well.

Photo Loading utility

We made a final decision on the prices now also and the website is proofread by a pro now so my stupid typos should be there no more. The website doesn’t have a demo and video updated to this new version though. We will do that on the next major upgrade probably.

After we start the marketing in Slovenia we will start making app available in other languages.

    Bom kar po naše:

    NUJNO naredite re-design spletne strani, še preden se lotite oglaševanja. Sploh glede na to, da gre za preprost front-end. Nujno.

    Ok, moj pogled (pa ne si preveč k srcu vzet:)) :
    - Celotna podoba je from the old days… Podobne predstavitvene strani so bile “v modi” pred kakšnimi 5-10 leti.
    - Preveč nepreglednih elementov, med katerimi ne veš točno kaj in katere informacije kateri predstavlja.
    - Video bi veliko boljše izpadel, če bi bil audio sled govora zraven.

    Glede na to, da je try-me flash aplikacija vizualno precej bolj kul, bi bilo okej že to, da se vizualno podoben design uporabi tudi za stran.

    ps: en č manjka v predstavitvi.
