Design previews - 2

MakePreview.com - service for web designers

In September last year, under the action of the next wow-pulse, I made a web-based utility, although okay, what could be there - the MakePreview.ru Service ! - which solved one small but annoying problem: the decorative framing of the site design with a browser window (such a fashion went on, I will not go into the history of the issue).

So, all this time, I slowly improved the service ...
')
- first, if possible, take into account all your comments to the previous post (cleaned up the shadows and browser layouts, eliminated programmatic blunders, increased the quality of jpeg up to 100 for particularly sensual natures, etc.). I connected the API I don’t remember which service to create screenshots from already existing sites (in this case, just enter the URL of the site). But all the services I have studied use the queue mechanism when creating screenshots. This means that after you clicked the button “Create a preview”, you have to wait a couple (or even a dozen) minutes before this preview is created. By the way, even in the paid version, such services do not eliminate the queue and do not accelerate it.

- secondly, I did a lot of work on the portfolio module. Here I must say that I myself actively use the service and mainly for storing and displaying works. I can upload a new version of the design, tick this new version with the previously shown ones and get one link for this set, send it to the customer. Having opened the link, the customer sees the numbered versions of the design (new and old), carefully compares them and says to me: “Alexey, I like the third one more than the first and fourth ones like it, and the second one is so dark!”. And so our communication takes place before the approval of the future of design. And the second aspect - I can collect individual works and show a potential client not all portfolios, but those works that are closer on the topic to the tasks of this client, for example .

- thirdly, I went to populist measures: added the ability to write the accompanying text to the file and leave comments. Again, the notorious customer can comment on the work, or by posting in the gallery you can find out what other masters think about the work and where your hands grew from when you did it. Actually, I also made a gallery and the opportunity to contact the author of the work is present there (just in case). In the populist measures, you can also write the “ Tools ” section - if your bookmarks have a really useful service for a simple pen and tablet worker, I will be glad to see your link.

Here are the news. For militant atheists, I want to note that the service allows you to place layouts without framing the browser and in this case, opening the layout by reference the customer sees it in his browser , and even thinks that this is a ready-made site, only the links do not work :) So use on health I went to make money on hosting: the average size of the loaded layout is 500KB. By the way, nobody is interested in a small, but proud target audience of the service?

Achtung! During habranaleth, working with ticks in a portfolio can slow down, and they click pretty quickly.
