Steinberg - Please fire your website designers

If you want to see a crazy website design…try EZ pass! Sticking a pin in your arm Is more fun

Well, I guess we won’t fire anyone because the forum (which isn’t exactly our main part of the website) has several sub forums.
This is why web browsers have this brilliant feature called bookmarks. It’s not like every user has the same priorities and interests when browsing our website content and this is why some pages require more than one click.

Yes. Bookmarks are the answer. In the time it took to whine about it, a bookmark could have been created. If the web designer deserves to be fired, then, certainly, the guy whining about this deserves to be kicked in the junk.
:laughing:

who cares as far as i’m concerned. give me a glitch-free cubase and everything else is secondary. some of the best gear manufacturers have the worst looking websites (up to a point where it almost seemed ‘the worse looking website > the more esoteric gear’ ;]).

That’s not a good excuse for clunky web design. Most sites have site maps where you can reach every part of it with a single click. You should consider it, but then again you made it abundantly clear that you think your website is blameless and perfect and therefore you don’t accept any suggestion. Pity.

No complaints here.

Poor papi

you should hire Porn site designer !
Porn sites are the best to navigate…even if sometimes only one hand available for mouse/keyboard usage :laughing:

:laughing: Oh man.

I’m not bothered by this site’s design, layout or a few extra clicks here & there.

Much better things to focus on these days.


But hey - who am to say?

Why is everything either black or white these days? Of course, the website has room for improvement - a lot actually - and the guys we decided not to fire are currently working on improvements. Judging the website by taking the separate forum (it’s just phpBB) as an example isn’t the best choice me thinks :wink:

Webdesigners don’t prioritize content? Isn’t that the job of usability experts and business experts?

Anyways, more clicks are often preferred these days, as opposed to link-spaghetti where you struggle to find the one link you’re looking for. I don’t find the Steinberg site particularly bad at all. And when i need the forum i’ll just type www.steinberg.net/forums and hit enter, suddenly i’m on the forum reading this thread. Goes fast.

If i were to point to anything particular that i’d personally ask of Steinbergs web crew, i’d ask them to make the link menues more accessible to mobile users. I use my iPhone to surf more often than a computer these days, and those links in those dropdowns can be hard to click in time(?) (have to zoom in or else i’ll hit the banner beneath for some reason)

I don’t see what the fuss is all about, this forum is not much different to others I’ve been on (Forums that is).
Much ado about nothing, and all the result of a single disgruntled one-time poster! :unamused:

And you wanna talk about a messed up forum, find a time machine, jump in it, strap yourself down, hold on tight & and go back to within the last 12 months or so over at the Cakewalk forums.

Boy oh boy what a freakin’ mess that was and it took the better part of this last year to finally fix it.
I’m talkin’ about double & triple posts, strike-through lines crossing out sections of your post - but only certain sections - and only sometimes.

Others not being able to post at all, etc. etc.

When I bought Cubase this summer, I was relieved to be back on a working, fully functional forum after dealing with that mess for a year or so.

If Cakewalk, a ‘software-selling’ company, let that forum software debacle go on for a year, despite countless complaints, and yet still kept on using that web design group, firing anyone here seems far too harsh, don’t you think?

I mean - think about perspective customers who joined their forums and what their first impressions must have been.
Surely some of them would have thought, “Gee, do I really want to purchase this software when they [or whomever they’ve hired] can’t even get their forums right?”

So I see no need to rock this boat after that one damn near sunk!

And some guy joins this forum, posts one time and his first suggestion is to have people fired here?

The nerve!
The audacity!

And just who is this guy anyway?

Someone from Protools or Logic or Reaper or something?

With all due respect, shouldn’t he be the one to be ‘let go’?

No clicks here. Sign in once, check the Keep Me Logged In box, then set a bookmark to the Steinberg Lounge forum. I type in three letters in the address bar and here I am with no clicks. :wink:

I get here to the Forum(s) using just one click, a bookmark. I have a separate bookmark for the overall steinberg.net site, which I don’t visit often

Ditto! A bookmark that takes me right to the login - which is saved. Just 2 clicks & I’m in - too easy.

Nothing wrong with forum IMO. It’s Steinberg website, which is a mess.
