Red Barn = 10/10 Very clean and professional looking.
Also, you might like to add your photo to the Portrait Of TG thread. (The thread needs more ladies to post :D)
Re: Xara Extreme Pro Rocks!
Hi,
looks cool, but even with a 16MBit line it takes long time to load. I think there are office applications that take less space than a single page there =). People with low bandwidth will spend a lot of time waiting ...

Loads quickly here, Juergen, just a couple seconds per page.
All photographic images I have looked are are correctly exported as .jpg
Re: Xara Extreme Pro Rocks!
Loads quickly here as well. I have broadband 10 Mb but I thought that the numerous of pictures would slow down but no, surprisingly fast. Thumb up for that one!

The entire WD forum serves this purpose. All the web related questions for both WD and X5 should be discussed there. Remember - Xtreme does not have any web related advantages comparing to XWD. So all said in this context is true for both (well, 3 actually) products.
The Object Gallery is not web related as well as other features found in X5 and missing in WD, so they should be discussed here.
That's the way I see it. Perhaps moderators can add something to it. :)
Re: Xara Xtreme Pro Rocks!
Thanks all for your comments and compliments.. inspiring!!
Coxover.. as a client who has changed from XWD to Xtreme Pro I was just a little confused as to WHERE to post web design questions etc. I kinda felt that I shouldnt post them in XWD forum? (because I am using Xtreme)
Juergen, Thanks for the comment on the speed of the site, it is graphic intensive and I really tried to optimize and export all images correctly. On my side it is pretty quick... I will look at it again.
Do you guys ever sleep?????? :D
Re: Xara Xtreme Pro Rocks!
Classy site Lindy Jo.
I took a sneaky look at it with Lynx Viewer and was most impressed. The search engines will love it too.
I only have a 1500 broadband connection and because I am a long way from the exchange, I don't receive optimum speeds. Your site loaded nice and fast for me here in Australia.
Your logo is the slowest to load because it is a largish PNG file. If you replaced it with a JPEG, which looks do-able considering the white background, it would be extremely fast for a graphics intensive site.

I have a 768K adsl connection and the Red Barn site loads quickly on my machine. The Red Barn logo is the last to lead and that only took about 2 seconds.

Thanks for brining this to my attention .. I managed, without too much loss of quality, to optimise the logo by 50%...
Remember CTRL+F5 if you want to relook...
