Friends,
That's it, i tried to integrate your comments, and now the website is launched.
Thank you to john and every one of the jquery team for making such a
great library. Special thanks to the jquery community for providing me
with such useful feedback !

hi ricardo, thanks for sticking in!!
yes, i have that issue too, but i guess i can solve it quite easily by
preloading it first and foremost.
now, i should work on a help section and i consider this work done.
was fun to do, but oh, so underpaid :)

Hi,
Your page loads pretty well here (about 10 sec for all).
The afterload impression is quite what now ?, then a random click,
and uh... ok, lets try to understand this bizarre thing. Half of the
visitors should abandon here, since they are lazy to make any effort
by themselves. I honestly would
Hi Alexandre,
very interesting approach, this internal dialog that you report. Thanks for it.
I could propose a short introduction to address this initial what
now?. Basically, what needs to be said is :
move your mouse over the barcode lines to access lisa pram's photo
sets. You can use the
hi ricardo,
here is my try at it, let me know if it is better. What i did is :
- load the first image of each set (as it is needed for the hover state)
- use a placeholder.gif file put as src attribute value for all
images, the real src being stored as a custom attribute
wow that's way faster. Now the site loads in 5-10 seconds at most. I
didn't have any problems browsing the sets, images were always loaded
ahed. The only issue I found was that the navigation arrow image
didn't appear until all images in the set were loaded.
nice work!

Once you have done that, you just need to load the images in the
background and display a functioning website for the visitor.
I'm trying to see how i could modify my app so thati t works like this:
1/ load the json data
2/ generate the barcode (a UL with LI's , each LI is a
I think a good compromise would be loading only the few first images
for each set, an arbitrary number, then load the rest on demand as
each set is opened. Simple and effective, without wasting bandwidth,
and should be easier to do.

Mike, i understand your argument but it's a target audience that is
very specific apparently: art directors and designers, computer savvy,
liking trendy stuff, with good recent connection and having the latest
wiz in their hand.
Nice idea Ed!

There's something to be said for interesting, experientially-focused
interfaces, depending on the purpose of the site. If the client is
primarily trying to sell an aesthetic, this could be very useful.
As a compromise, you might consider some sort of help function.
Maybe a [?] button that pops
I tried loading the site several times and it timed out after loading
88 or 89 images. I was left with a non-functioning web page.
As a veteran software developer, I can assure you that there are
compromises you can make that would make the website usable and still
deliver the vision of the
@-b: given the comments above, i intend to implement this background
image loading. thanks for taking time to review the website and the
comment!

Hi Alex,
Glad to see you managed to iron the bugs out.
But as I said before, load time is definitely a huge downside to the
website. Are the galleries dynamic? If they are not you could just
cache/hardcode the bar sizes and then load on demand, or just make the
bar sizes relative to the number

thanks a lot for the thorought report.

that's actually something that could be

People are also tagged as Experimental, that could be the issue.
Exactly. i should have paid more attention to that when setting up the test
bed.
your critics are very useful! i'll debrief with the customer. but you

Does your client want *customers*? This UI is going to drive them away fast.
No offense to you, Alexandre - I know you're a talented designer and
developer doing the best you can to satisfy a completely misguided client -
but really it's a terrible user experience.
