What's wrong with our web site? Just want to hear from you, feel free to criticize :)

Clicking on the homepage picture of the GUI should bring up a full-size GUI image. Even better, a full lightbox gallery showing the different colors & features. That image should work as a full-size ad and an entry point for people wanting full details. Beautiful pictures sell products.

And stop the auto-playing audio

The download ALWAYS fails when trying to get the Alpha builds. I can download from anywhere else but your site... Ugh. hehe...

I noticed that (in my case anyway) I have to click the download button to get the actual dl. If I just press enter after entering my serial I get to the homepage.

About the site I second the all in one page concering SM.
- Like with a menu on the side with links to downloads, manual, full size screenshots (with small parts of the GUI on the main page), audio demos player etc ...
- +1 for no autoplay demo songs.
- Clicking the logo on the up brings me to a download, not the homepage as it usually is.

So hopefuly it's gonna look something like the below when we redesign it:

I think it's a good start! But I think that you should put everything SynthMaster related in one (big, or unfolding) page. You told us you'd be interested in a new mini-synth, and if you'll ever done it, the site will need to be realigned because Synthmaster won't be your only product.


-The features and the corresponding videos page should be merged, because (I suppose) the vids will be used to show each feature. It's good to have them at one place, if someone is interested in each thing, he/she can view it already.

-No need for separate Downloads section. There isn't that much file amount for a completely new page, each product should have it's corresponding 'download' box on it's page

-An 'articles' section would be cool. This is where you could write tutorials, introductions, and module guides. Also it's a place for an uploaded quick-start guide.

Anyway, I should ask: How do you want your online coverage? Like you have 1 Kv331 page what holds the pages for all products, or you want to have a separate domain and page for each product?

Supercool!!!
I'm joking, i'm the hand behind the website and here's last update:

http://vectoraster.com/kv331-C/index.html
(Please browse with Firefox or Safari, IE7-8 will be fixed at the end)

But I think that you should put everything SynthMaster related in one (big, or unfolding) page. You told us you'd be interested in a new mini-synth, and if you'll ever done it, the site will need to be realigned because Synthmaster won't be your only product.

Yes, that's cool, but the single page weight can raise up if we put all in a single page.
Consider only the main features explanations, with images and videos.
I think that the weight can become too much.
Then, for my experience, put all in a single page, besides weight, isn't the best thing to do if you're interested to monitoring your website traffic.
Also about indexing, using a single page and a lot of ajax calls, specially for important informations, sometimes can bring problems on monitoring.
Always if monitoring is something that insterest.

-The features and the corresponding videos page should be merged, because (I suppose) the vids will be used to show each feature. It's good to have them at one place, if someone is interested in each thing, he/she can view it already.

Also this is right, but in a dedicated page. Always for weight issues.

-No need for separate Downloads section. There isn't that much file amount for a completely new page, each product should have it's corresponding 'download' box on it's page.

+1. Confiremed, a simple pop-up on button hover can contain all the relative infos.

-An 'articles' section would be cool. This is where you could write tutorials, introductions, and module guides. Also it's a place for an uploaded quick-start guide.

There's already on the website, in homepage "last news", and then there's a dedicated page that you can see already on the top menu list.
Don't know if you meant something else.

Anyway, I should ask: How do you want your online coverage? Like you have 1 Kv331 page what holds the pages for all products, or you want to have a separate domain and page for each product?

I remember that Bulent said that he bought the synthmaster.com domain, so i think that he point to the second option. Btw he knows the choice!!!

About single or more products i think that the structure available now, with this prototype, is easily customizable as it is modular:
you can see in the content, a big top box containing synthmaster brief and shot/slide, in the bottom of this we have three boxes that can be used for "data" or to put in old products if new products arrives.
EG:
"Synthmaster" and "Minimaster", synthmaster, the old product, can be placed in the first of the three bottom boxes with small description and small picture, and the new minimaster can take the place in the big top box with brief and slides.
Then each one will have his dedicated page.

I think that this scheme is pretty useable for his modularity.
