Glory be! The new Danley website is up

Re: Glory be! The new Danley website is up

looks good, but a bit too much scrolling and i miss the comparison charts. design leads one to possibly think the speakers are lifestyle products, which i wouldnt disagree with :)
 
Re: Glory be! The new Danley website is up

A much cleaner look, congratulations. The scrolling, when one gets to the specifications part of the page, is currently VERY slow going, hopefully that will improve. And shouldn't it be "There is no equal to the Cine-Monster," not "equal for...."

Never thought I'd live to see it... looking nice guys!

It is still a work in progress and there will be daily changes for the next couple of weeks. And LOTS of stuff to be added.

The free 3D design software should be up in a day or so under downloads.

There are a lot of new things in the works at Danley-We have added some more people-so stay tuned to the website.

Congratulations Ivan on the new website, it looks nice.

I also miss the news section and the photos / examples of various installations. Looking forward to see how it develops.

Ivan,

The new site looks much better! Below are some tips for improving Wordpress performance that your design house may not be familiar with.

Wordpress is a database pig, it makes a gagillion calls to the backend database on virtually every page pull. You should have your guys at Red Clay Interactive investigate enabling a Wordpress caching plugin, either WP Super Cache or W3 Total Cache (my choice). Also there is a plugin called "use google libraries" which will reduce the amount of javascript pulled from your server side, instead loading jquery from Google's machines.

On your Rackspace side, the HTTP server daemon should utilize gzip, set a caching header, and possibly a keep-alive, depending on your HTTP platform. Your page speed score will increase significantly from these steps, and that can improve your SEO.

If your server-side hosting is a shared config, you should set W3 total cache to use disk caching. If it a VPS-type environment, you should spool up memcache and use that for caching. If you have a VPS, you should also use some sort of PHP opcode caching, like APC or Xcache.

Those bits will speed up the site for you.

I like the new site... especially the pencil line drawings of the speakers.

I almost want to see a picture of all the speakers that shows their relative size to one in another. Right now the Synergy Horn page the SH60 & SH25 looks HUGE compared to the SH50 & SH46.

Are the Specs coming soon?

Some sort of size reference would be nice..McCauley did that for a while

The problem with a reference size-is that if you look at the size between our smallest and largest cabinets-there is a huge difference. You would barely be able to make out the small ones-when side by side with the large ones.

I agree that there need to be some changes-some of the small cabinets look huge as compared to hte big ones. There also need to be different views of cabinets that have movable exits-such as the TH212-DTS10-DTS20-DBH218LC-TH28-THSpud

Some photos at your shop or demo room(s) with people and speakers would be good for scaling.

Looks good though!

Best regards,

This likely isn't practical, but would love frequency/phase graphs of the -LC subs as single, quad block all end firing, and quad block with them all in the V config (IE extended horn). It would be fun to see how much lower the response extends to, as well as frequency smooth to, based on configuration.

We are using "photo realistic" renderings for the products for a simple reason. It is real hard to get a photo of a black speaker that shows the detail properly. And we wanted to get a consistant look-and the renderings were the best way to do that.

I have noticed that some of the images have been "stretched" a bit. There is a lot of "cleanup work" to be done on the website

The renderings are generated from the actual solid works models that are used to design the cabinets. The CNC is then programed from that model. So the renderings (if not stretched) look exactly like the finished product. Of course we have grills on the final products.

I have actually done this (in several configurations) with on and off axis measurements. I have a lot to do-but will send you some screen shots when I get a chance. The V configuration really works for getting more energy forward. THis is because of the large flat area of the cabinet acting as a boundary (at some freq)-just like the old "barn doors" of days gone past.
