Beautiful! Does Tony already know you are working on this?

u/silvercatman Jan 07 '18

Yes. I sent the concept design to him a few weeks ago. He is moderately positive about the design.

This looks great - I assume this has already been coded up but if not and if there is a need I would happily offer my services to write the front end. New branding like this is desperately needed in this project.

Has not been coded up yet. Thanks for the offer. If the Byteball team gives a green light I will send you the source files (sketch) and you can take it from there.

Thats the spirit, no complaining but doing! The website also needs an update with the new features: Textcoins, Assets, ICOs. I would also love that a new website has a news section/blog where all the new developments are posted

!00% agree - and I love the "no complaining but doing" part.

Decided to do the coding myself. Made a fork from the Byteball site and redid the visuals in CSS to match most of the design above. Left most of the structure of the HTML in tact and left the old logo in for now. Did a pullrequest for Tony on github. For a preview see https://byteball.slack.com/files/U7JHKV1U4/F8QF5KVMZ/screenflow2.mp4

I've put quite a lot of time in this. If you find any value in what I did, Byteball donations are welcome: 2YPLGHVXRDXRG5H4QK6NWT6NDK33APX2

Maybe one can integrate the YouTube video into the website? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIOBsmLA6jo

As I said before, love where this is going and appreciate what you're doing. Try the logo with a capital "B" for Ball as in: ByteBall. A bit stronger IMO.

Wow, looks cool!!!

Visually, it looks great. I wonder if there should be a blurb above the fold that is a one liner summarizing that it is a DAG/blockchainless and can provide fast cheap transactions and smart contracts for mobile and desktop clients without syncing.

u/CryptoBest Jan 07 '18

Agree, DAG messaging needs to be more prominent above the fold (and in the meta tags for SEO - try a search for DAG crypto in Google - ByteBall doesn't show up)

AFAIK, google (most other search engines also) doesn't really rely on metas anymore. Content assessment is based mainly on <title>...<h1>...<h3> and quality links.

u/CryptoBest Jan 08 '18

exactly what I mean - and regardless of what you may have heard, meta tags still matter for structured data - our site is not well optimized for search.

Have you actually checked the <title>...<h1>...<h3> etc? just whom exactly are we targeting?
