*** closed*** HWS Template (WD34) Wish List

hi

first and foremost all credits should goto Wim not myself he basically took a incomplete version from 2017 into what you guys have now and are able to customise it to your liking.so replace weather34 where ever it is shown to something related to Wim . he deserves that credit .

@bitsofstring :slight_smile: has for thanking me or leaving your in debt ? as above incomplete version many aspects of that version was never completed and was left to the wayside…

the approach of using circles was dropped based trying to match and align additional language phrases that was a tedious task and if there had been no design approach then just using text on a plain background would have been easier but less pleasing in design,many times I could perfect the layout in english and throw it into dutch for example and suddenly it all goes a bit wonky .then mr smith comes along with his new laptop that has no keyboard no mouse,no touchscreen, but its got voice controlled commands and he cant view the popups it begins all over again(excuse my humor)

circles versus squares(ish) i think the fact you have an option to use either is all the more better for everyone though adds somewhat more things to oversee from the creative side.
I went with a redesign released it sat back and waited for the negatives to appear but none were forthcoming , I get the part we all have views on how things should look if we all saw it the same way then it becomes rather a stagnant uninteresting challenge and it ends up being it is what is scenario, so you have something in front of you that you can tweak and customise that makes it far better than it was in the past and again credit goes to Wim for making it somewhat easy to customise to your liking.

weather websites are one of the most challenging things to get right because there is no standard in the weather hardware, software, servers, units, languages and the list goes on .
its far far easier to design for your personal needs and never give a dam about others or requirements but getting it right for everyones needs is the big challenge…

as for advertising look no sure I follow that one fully but perhaps its the footer layout ? I only promote what hardware I use and trust , however Im about totally ditch the weatherflow hardware after there recent rain fiasco approach left a large question mark but thats for another thread and another day when the initial disappointment wares off …

so please credit Wim where ever possible be it discretely or boldly . no need to use based on weather34 anywhere… brian
