I hear Realtune has a new website

I hear Realtune has their website on the web right now... can anybody find it? :notallthere:

I will let Aaron reveal the link to the website:bigthumb: :jester:

But seriously, it is LIVE now

Gabriel

HAHA I win



Edit and owned: By Aaron :jester:


HAHA....I win even more. :wave::beerchug:

You must have been seriously waiting like crazy for it to go live lol

So what do you think about the website so far? It was made pretty quickly but very carefully up until this point. I am still gonna be adding the NSRT4 section, but wanted to get the Caliber section up and running first as it is the new jive and all.

Give us your feedback!

www.Realtuned.com :banger::banger:


Only the Caliber section is up right now [not finished either]. We have TONS and TONS of content and products to add. I still need to write the ''Who is Realtune section'' and add the contact information as well.


Again this is a work in progress, but I would like to hear some feedback on what we need to get up there and how you guys think its coming along.


Huge thanks to Goober!!

You must have been seriously waiting like crazy for it to go live lol

I could hardly wait... Its like Christmas day for me!!!!!!!! :rofl:

If you guys ever want some help on any portion of it, I'd be glad to chip in. I'm fluent in hmtl and wouldn't mind helping

lol everyone ninja'd aaron :)

Awesome! Thanks for the offer :bigthumb::bigthumb:

With all these Ninja's, we might as well invite Chuck Norris over to view the website and give us some roundhouse feedback!

EDIT: Ninja'd by Aaron :D

Nice job with the edit... I like the overall layout of the site, but the different product pages are a little awkward with the 3 column tables - particularly since you have price centered vertically. Personally I think it would be a little better down in 3 row tables.

Email sent concerning idea

I think I understand what your saying and so on. If you want, you can take the source from the page I built, and edit it, and send me an html or screen shot, to further show me your point. send html or screenshot to webmaster@realtuned.com

Thanks for the feedback,
Gabriel

Sent... let me know what you think

I sent a reply back. Good stuff :)

Man im really happy you got this up and running, only thing i would add right away is a shopping cart and theres a GUY that already posted he would help u with this, so take his word for it and start making some big bucks! The site looks bad ass congrats?

wow thats really good! its like a one stop shop for alot of the better products on the market right now! very impressed...cant wait till the shopping cart becomes active.

I updated the look of the Product Pages for the Caliber Section. (nice recommendation Brucestr21)

Site looks great.I can't get the Caliber section to open yet though.Nice job on the site,I'll check it out more tomorrow.Thanks.

Cleared my cookies and history and rechecked the caliber section, and it is working fine.

Thanks for the comments!

Gabriel

WOW....a post by goober without pics! lol

Looks Good :bigthumb:

When i click on the caliber picture i get a load error, but when i click on the Caliber SRT4 text it works...

Also, just a suggestion, the text on the left side, i find hard to read...maybe a plain back ground or something behind it would work...

Good catch!

Fixed that little goof up! lol :notallthere: Thanks UN4 :)

Also, on all product that has pics, you can now click on the pic of the product and it will blow up to a much larger picture :bigthumb:

no prob...looks good!

Was this website coded by hand, or did you use software?

grammar error on the csrt external bov replacement pipe. it says "We have come up with a blow off valve kit for the caliber which is a direct for for the factory cold side pipe
should say "which is a direct replacement for the...."

site is looking good.

I used a mix of code and Frontpage 2003. Also fixed that extra word in there :)

Thanks for the comments everyone!

Design is a bit outdated.. Frontpage is so 1998 lol...

One good thing about it is that you can edit it very easy. I do graphic design mostly but I also do websites and can work if flash too. If you guys need some stuff done let me know.

http://www.uniquevectordesign.com/

We kept it basic on purpose. We wanted a FAST loading page that had a decent layout that would allow the regular joe schmoe to navigate easily and find what he wants.

Granted the method IS outdated, but it is effective as well.

Not everyone cares for the newest and sickest eye candy and all, as for one, it takes longer to load, and is a bit more complicated to build.

As far as feedback, please keep it related to how the website looks now. Not with it being SO 2008 or whatever :)

And as far as help doing the website, I have it taken care of for now. When the website gets a LOT bigger, I will then ask Aaron for help and then he can do some recruiting :bigthumb:

Thanks

No need to get panties in a bunch over it. Todays websites are much faster loading then fronpage websites ever have a chance of being once there is a lot of content on it.

As far as website improvements:

- Take off the Clearline graphics permission from the header, it looks cheap, if they're **** about it put it in fine print on the bottom of the page, or just ask and I'll design you a new one in vector output so you can blow it up size of empire state building LoL.

- The Logo again has black background. I know you can't do transparency with frontpage but I suggest at very least putting a stroke around it so it stands off the page a bit.

- As for background, take the Realtune logo off or at very least, set it's opacity to 10-20% that way it's there but not obvious, and take off the ridged effect..

- Use other fonts then Arial or Times. Tahoma usually looks really nice and is supported by all browsers.

- Sidabars are cool too, you can jam lots of information in them about products you're offering.

- Ask questions or orger forms, but you need to know how to properly set up forms both on the website and on the server side.

Again, I'm not trying to insult you or your website making skills, I'm no fancy website designer either, but I consider Realtune a professional business so they should have a site that portrays that. I'm not advertising here cause I'm too busy working right now but if they need a logo or some other graphic design, I can throw something together for free.

Thank you for all the suggestions. :bigthumb:

Just give it time and as the site grows, it will gradually make the change to a full blown marketing tool. As of right now, its more about trying to take the heat off me and help explain what we do. Im very happy with how its going so far.

Over 2200 hits the first day :banger:

Thanks for the suggestions, but it is funny to me that you would say your not trying to be insulting, and then say a comment like, dont get your panties in a bunch. I told you that your suggestions are good, but the website will stay as it is now. If you dont like frontpage, then guess what, make your websites in something else. I like Frontpages ease of use, and enjoy it very much.

I am in no way, no bad ass at making websites, but I know what tends to work, without getting errors and garbage like that. Flash and big html coding seems to cause that, and makes viewing horrible.

As I said before, I will build the website as it is now, to get it running and get all the content up for the customer database. Then once it has grown a lot more, Aaron will probably want someone to help me out (or replace me), and we will go for a much more improved look which will still keep load times down, get the customer the content they need, and still be great for the company. But thats in the near future.

I like the background with it's asphault look with the logo, the pics, text and I like the way things are sorted now. More content will be added for viewers enjoyment VERY SOON.

As for the positive feedback from those helping out with how the website looks now, thanks! And for those trying to make their own website, thanks but no thanks. :bigthumb:

I made a comment to your previous post then gave you some positive suggestions to improve what you have there.

Now that you're bringing same stuff up again I have to comment on it.

Load times aren't even an issue on a blackberry let alone most peoples home pc's today, and you only get errors if you don't check your work. Every website publishing software today has a code check to tell you if you have errors in your code. WSIWYG software like Frontpage is very limited and geared towards IE, so you'll actually get more errors using it if people browse using Opera, Firefox, Safari, Chrome etc.

If you got good hosting like Lunarpages bandwidth and load time is least of your worries.

I'm gonna end this pissing match right here out of respect for Aaron

And this is my last comment as to the argument, as you have a PM... Your only thinking about yourself and those MOST other people. Some folks still dont have high speed internet and dont have the latest in phones, but invest rather in their vehicles and such.

I am thinking about the whole picture and not just MOST people.

Thank you.

WOOT!

Goober got the last

say!
u know what? I think you guys
can get along if you guys were just work well together rather than
kicking yourself in the asses on who's actully a better
site designer.

Amish people still live without electricity, does that mean we have to light a candle when night falls too?:stickpoke::jester:
So, what does it mean now?
SRTst and Goober working together now?:beerchug:

HAHAHA!!!, what is this? website builders fight?!!

My OP, but i dont care and dont want anyone to do it, im just writing my OP cause everyone else did it too...

I use to make webpage (long time ago) when I was a teenager and a computer freak, I usually write the pages on html, I hated frontpage! , But I forgot almost 100% of that.
I think the webpage looks "cheap" and too simple, but Goob. said it was on purpose so, well When you decide to make it more comercial or more appealing to the people, you should add some kind of BAR on the Left side , with simple buttons, nothing too fancy or heavy. the background ..., Maybe if the background is white it will looks better, and also the "fixed" background thing, I HATE IT! (the background doesnt move).

Again thats just my Op and I dont expect anyone to do anything about it, also is not just RT web page, I just have most of the things it haves, on ANYONES web page.

I think it will look more professional if its just simple, white background, with a Good eyecandy Banner on the top, and simple bars with buttons on 1 or both sides...


Anyway, Good WORK to Goober, and Realtune, finally you guys have a webpage, VERY VERY GOOD, and like you said, now everytime I want to know anything about you products i just go to your website instead of asking here and waiting.

I was just giving suggestions and came off a bit rough I guess. So I decided to help the cause and I tossed together a logo for Realtune. Having to explain who made your logo every time kinda blows so you can use this one if you like it.

I dont need to explain who made my logo. Its our logo bought and paid for :wave:

Ill have Goober erase that.

Keep the graphics coming :bigthumb:

:simmadown: jesus guys, does everything turn into an argument here?

goober you did a good job, i dont think anyone was giving you shiit about it, i think they ment it more as constructive criticism and offered some ideas to to help if need be. other than that the website looks decent, could use some improvement, but what couldnt. like was said, this is the beginning and will change as time goes by.

so now lets just say good RT got a site, and let the bickering stop.


and srtst your running a little lean :stickpoke:

I figured it was some advertising thing they pulled. I know some guys do that for promotion but fine print at the bottom of the page is sufficient. When I look for info thats where I go to find it.

and srtst your running a little lean :stickpoke:

For some it's lean for others it's well tuned ;)... Best power right there, but have your ducks in order lol

I changed the logo up top, and am having very small issues using it with firefox. IE has no issues. But I will figure it out

for the pages that i have been to on Firefox, it works good for me

so now im confused , Realtune logo is not their logo?, or what? cause I see Goober change it for the other one...

Im not sure what you guys are talking about.


Our logo is OUR logo. Its the sole property of Realtune Inc.


I had a company make it for us and they sold us the rights 4 years ago

Well the new one works, but it doesnt quite work. Going back to the Original Logo :)

Sorry, I dont know Sh!t of what im talking about, I just ask, because someone said something about your logo, and the goober change the logo to the one a guy here post, but now is back to yours, which is the one I like :bigthumb:

Is my Stg 1 ready!!??, im ready for it!! :mecry:

+1 to Web Standard/W3C

Goober, I made a trasparent, Real tune logo you can use for the webpage, in my OP it looks better than the one you are using right now that haves a Black background.

If you want it let me know i can send it to you or post it here maybe

BTW: I was bored, and I made a BANNER also, but there are a few things about it:
-I use pictures from members here on the forums, so I guess they have to approve it? or take them out
-It only includes Caliber SRT4, I really dont know, but maybe realtune sell things for other cars and I dont know if they want to use a "JUST CSRT4 BANNERS"
-Its not the prettiest or the best one someone can make, but I think it looks better than what it haves right now

let me know if you guys want to see it...

I have a transparent one and a regular one with white background, and one with black background, the black one looks best and doesnt clash with the background at all as does the transparent one.

That looks good!

That looks cool and all, but if you can give me the REALTUNE PERFORMANCE logo the way you did it, that would help a ton! Another reason why I cant use what you made, is it streams across the whole screen. The website was created for 1024x768 resolutions, although I know much of us have higher resolutions, its a good basic to leave it at.

Let me know :)

Looks good, but i agree with Goober on the size thing...not an issue for me though...

What cha hiding on that first tab bud? :stickpoke:

hehehe, nothing just A local forum, hehehe

and about the size, everyone haves a different way to enter to the page, and everyone will see it differently, you cant make it that everyone is going to see it exactly the same :stickpoke:

Well I finally gave in and redid the logo and all (looked at others ideas and applied them, thanks to you guys)

Let me know if it loads okay for you guys

Gabriel

nice catch, and corrected :)

you're welcome :bigthumb:

I dont know man, I liked the way the logo was before. I thought it looked fine before?

I really dont know much about this stuff, but is it because I have such high resolution so others have a hard time seeing it?

the previous logo looked fine. I just made it more 3dish to make it pop and added a glow to the outeredges...if you want your stock logo back up, then let me know and your wish is my command.

I like the new 3d look especially with that blue swooshness going on lol

Ok lets leave the new one up for a bit. We will get some more feedback and go from there :bigthumb:

What would happen if you made the background like a light grey instead of black. Would that make the logos in the back ground pop out more? And allow for more main logo variations?
