Like the new layout

The new layout of the Spanish life is very good. It's a lot simpler but look very updated.

La Marina

Thanks very much it has taken a lot of work to make the changes, and it can now also be used on mobile phones and IPads.
A few bugs to sort out yet but these will be done soon.

I've always used it on my iPhone Steve.
To much hassle on laptop.
Did use to be able to view via Blackberry but could never comment, I'm pretty much sure that was down to Blacberrys user system as they are very limited in what they could do. Would like to know what the new Z10 BB is like as they are saying its very close to the iPhone IOS system.

Just to get some feed back how is the site now looking on your screen

Commented Team ASL "A Spanish Life" in La Marina 2013-02-24 07:31:57 UTC

On the iPhone it's perfect.. Do not need to zoom in, as before the old lay out I had to zoom in and scroll across.
To add a comment to this version is so much easier, before I had to zoom in so much, had to keep moving left to right.
With this though, when writing, or commenting its in the middle of the screen, no zooming, no scrolling left to right.
It's just so much easier and simplified but at the same time is so much better, I've already been scrolling through the YouTube link which is very good. Also I've used that as a short cut to use YouTube now. As saving it to book mark on the phone is more time. So I just click your YouTube, then re-direct. Although was looking at some nice houses in Hondon Earlier on your YouTube.

Pleased everyone seems to like it......I, on the other hand think its bloomin' horrible. You have cut the contact numbers off the bottom of our banner ad!!!

It seems the mobile version is so much easier and simpler.
If anyone can get on the forum via a smartphone or tablet, you will see what James and I are looking at. There's no over hang of the big blue bit at the top, like reported on the computer system.

Hi Steve
The new layout is far more professional, great job. If I could change one thing it would be to revert to black text or even a charcoal grey to provide better impact and for ease of reading.

Not a criticism just a suggestion born out of my own experience.

kind regards

Debra

Commented we love it here in Quesada 2013-02-24 16:52:43 UTC

I like to new look, got a bit of a shock when it 1st came up

Commented susan in La Marina 2013-02-24 17:27:09 UTC

The new lay out is very bright and clear, I think the only problem is the heading covers 1/3rd of the page.

Thanks to everyone for the comments, and the points that are being made are being worked on now as its not all finished yet, please keep the feedback coming

Steve I just went on laptop. How comes you can't make the computer version the same as how it shows up on the phone.
I Guarantee there would be no one recommending anything but, praising it.

Commented Andi in La Marina 2013-02-24 18:19:18 UTC

Working on fine tuning now with things like layout and banners.

Commented Team ASL "A Spanish Life" in La Marina 2013-02-24 18:28:35 UTC

Commented Team ASL "A Spanish Life" in La Marina 2013-02-24 18:51:52 UTC

That's better now the top banner is much smaller.
