Hello Sparkle people.
I recently imported the old iWeb site I had for my recording studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.
Did some work on it with Sparkle while trying to learn.
Tutorials have been helpful.
I have a couple questions.
Is there a video that specifically details what to do to fine tune for different devices?
Are there any design templates that are suited for recording studios?
There’s a lot of ‘info’ associated with a site for a recording studio. Gear, Staff (with credits), Clients, pictures, sounds, contact info.
I successfully got all of my info over from my old site and updated it a little but it feels crowded to me.
If you’d like to take a look at my ‘in progress’ site it’s located at http://cowboytechnical.com
@RoscoeNYC, Looks like you had a lot of fun with it!
You might want to look at your home navigation. It is different to all the other pages so comes across confusing? Your font line-height could do with a bit more leading (aka vertical spacing).
Be careful, however, about succumbing to the urge for “pretty”. Yes, you can make a technically superior web site with lots of floating backgrounds and “really cool stuff”, but is that what you are after? Not usually. There are bazillions of web sites out there, and your user probably came from Google Search. Think about your own experiences. You navigate to one of these gorgeous sites that say nothing, and off you go to the next. You have 10 seconds of eyeball, if you are lucky. Get to it! “Who, what, where, when and why” is far more critical now than it ever was in print. Would you use your company after 10 seconds or less on your site?
Hi, Roscoe!
Thanks for your response about your domain.
It’s great that you’ve been around for so long in this very competitive business!
But why not (for $10/year) see if a parked domain such as “CowboyRecording.com” or “CowboyStudios.com” that points to your main site, can help your Google search results and your business?
Just my two cents
I asked a question earlier today about attempting to open my Sparkle site only to get an error message that said “the document could not be opened”
My question seems to have been deleted.
I’ll try again
In the folder that contains my Sparkle website I used to click on document that I had titled “CTS Sparkle site”. It has no ‘extension’ after the name. Until today that would always open my site in Sparkle. Has Sparkle changed so it should have a name (as in .jpg or .ptx)?
Hi @RoscoeNYC, I answered to your email, and the question has already been asked, which is why I deleted the question. We’re a tiny company and trying to get support for the same issue on multiple channels just puts a strain on our limited resources.
About the issue with the inability to open old files, we determined this to be a macOS bug, we’re still investigating possible solutions. What seems to solve it is to delete Sparkle and download it again.
