I don't like it one bit and prefer the existing site. The design is terrible in comparison and needs a serious rethink.Has anyone had chance to check out the Beta version of the new official City website?
I've had a quick look, it looks like the content is much the same, but slightly different layout and more emphasis on social media. Seems ok to me.
Any tech / design minded people managed to have a look? @Ric @Damocles @GeekinGav
It's mostly to do with bandwidth and server connection numbers. A site can be set to only allow a certain maximum number of connections at any given time so that it doesn't crash, otherwise to have a site that is primed for extremely heavy traffic when it mostly receives moderate traffic is a waste of bandwidth and resources.But is there nothing you can do to make a web site better equipped for heavy traffic?
Should be going live shortly...
