Website Modernization Update, I hope there is one to go with the new BB18, get away from the bright white background, have dark background with light text, something easier on the eyes.
Is this the same as the item in the Wishlist, or something different?
BIAB & RB2026 Win.(Audiophile), Windows 10 Pro & Windows 11, Cakewalk Bandlab, Izotope Prod.Bundle, Roland RD-1000, Synthogy Ivory, Session Keys Grand S & Electric R, Kontakt, Focusrite 18i20, KetronSD2, NS40M, Pioneer Active Monitors.
I hope not. I like it the way it is. Why would I want a PG website flicking from advert to advert when what I WANT is to read what is on the PG WEBSITE. Just because its trendy doesn't make it good.

One consideration is printer ink. The current design requires very little ink to print. Another consideration is page loading time. Yet another is readability on a phone with adaptive design. And finally, I care about content way more than appearance.
Why are there two threads on this?
BIAB 2025 Win Audiophile. Software: Studio One 7 Pro, Swam horns, Acoustica-7, Notion 6, Song Master Pro, Win 11 Home. Hardware: Intel i9, 32 Gb; Presonus 192 & Faderport 8, Royer 121, Slate VSX, Adam Sub8 & Neumann 120 monitors.

I'm not suggesting it to cater for older users only stuck in the past, it is purely to get the software out there on a higher level to a new generation of users and a younger audience as well (including Mario, he's all for new & change).
You can view it on an old CRT Monochrome monitor with a Hercules Graphics Card, you will get just the green phosphor on the black background.

Thanx for putting this old phart in with the younger audience!
I believe that packaging plays a very important part for many customers. I think that a lot of people are turned off my some packaging. Not just here but for any product that is available for John Q Public.
I'm all for anything that will expand PGMusic's customer base. Things like 64 bit, open all MIDI channels for MIDI and RTs and RDs and any combination, rewrite the menus, better packaging, etc, I think will do the trick.
Ps - I should have added more contemporary styles (both real styles and MIDI, RDs and RDs.
YMMV
The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal". Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road.
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware
The web site (as well as the forum) interface also needs work in terms of display on smart phones and tablets. I spend a lot of time zooming in and out just to get to the content.

Sure, PG's website (forums especially) is kinda quirky, but unique, and I find that I've gotten used to its quirkiness. So why bother changing the regular website. Now for mobiles and tablets, that's a separate issue that can be handled separately, way I see it.
Good video, but why did the new crappy designed product take over sales? Marketing and packaging! If the old better designed product used the same marketing and packaging then it would still be the number one product.
What this proves IMHO is that John Q Public goes more for marketing and packaging and not what is the superior product. YMMV

I remember Quicken used to let you buy a box (marketing and packaging) that had a CD in it. You would put the CD in, and then it would take you to the Quicken web site, where you could download the software.
That was for those who didn't want to just download the software, but wanted a "boxed" version.
LOL.
