Where do I start…
Spent most of Thursday night working on the new ‘app’ which will let Kids and adults simply customise their unique colouring pages, got it finished and working, showed my team at work and checked it on a few different machines there, all good.
Got back from work on Friday all fired up and started looking at it again, then started taking a close look at the live site and noticed that its usability is pretty poor, I said you need to fix that or don’t bother adding anything else (and yes I do talk to myself)
So it started, page by page (site has over nine hundred pages) going through each one and fixing the ‘printing’ of the pages. Try not to bore you but when you are on a main page e.g. Teddy Bear Colouring you look at the small thumbnail images and go I like that one and click it, that opens a page containing the big printable picture, if you tried to print that page on Thursday it printed some words and other bits of the page, when ideally it should just let you guys print the main image only.
So that’s what I have been doing the past three days and still not finished, got just over two hundred pages done so far. Tested these in lots of browsers and they even work in early versions of Internet Explorer
I need to get the rest done before the new customise app gets released and that will take days to roll out, I’m sure you guys will love the new stuff that’s on its way and I hope the new set up on the pages I have altered makes it far easier and quicker to print the pages off for your Kids.
I’ll possibly have to do a ‘Printing Tips’ as well in the help section of the site. I will say one thing though when its done its going to be such a good site, I think its good now, but it should blow the socks off the rest of the colouring sites out there.
If there’s anything else really bad that I need to know please leave a comment below – Dave
