Hi friends,
I’m not sure if this page also allows discussions on Website design, but lets just try it. We have recently released our new Project called CalculatePlus, which enables users to perform online calculations and conversions.
The handling of the page resp. the user input is very much based on the well-known Google search, only that with our tools one gets suggestions about possible basic calculations or conversions.
Also for the style we decided to go with a very minimalistic approach. On the front-page you see the search box, down below a short description (which eventually will be removed in the future) and the latest calculations (also conversions are calculations) and we might will rename this also into “latest searches”
If you go for testing the tool out by using the search field or clicking on on of the latest “calculations” you will reach the sub page for the calculation/conversion. On that, we have a box that shows the input and the results. Down below there is yet another bordered box that allows to share the result on a social network, followed by yet another section/box with the latest calculations of the category and the overall latest calculations. On the right-hand currently we have the descriptive text for the result. This will move down the share buttons or above the share buttons in yet another box. On the right-hand under the text in the bordered box we currently do have the advertisement. It is planned to remove the border for that box and just show the ad. (Note in the scrreenshot below the Ad and the text is not yet included. you can see it better on the page)
To me currently there are simply to much bordered boxes, but somehow this is difficult to solve. Also there is planned to have some more text for every calculation site, so we are not sure on how to solve this best.
We would be very happy if you guys could give us some feedback on the style, the planned features and also on the handling of the page. Both needs still quite some improvements! Thank you very much in advance!
