Feedback please - website redesign
March 30th, 2009 by Aron
Boy, with all this work being done on our new community site, we figured we would take a spin at making our main website, www.qtsoftware.com, look just like this site here. What do you think? Does it represent the Cute Qt Everywhere vision we have? Let us know!
The new look for www.qtsoftware.com

You’re joking, right? You’re really willing to make the site look like …that.. just to pursue a pun? Why don’t you go for something like “cute” graphics (like friendly clip-art style. (instead of the current very serious looking ones). Changing everything to pink is frankly embarrassing.

I was really scared when i saw this new color of Qt. The Qt-websites looked always professional, but with this new color i am ashamed when i am showing this websites to new Qt-Developer Candidates. It would be great when you change this color to a more professional style.

I honestly hope that this whole qt is “cute” thing is an april fools joke and not a Nokia market strategy.

Pink website? Current green and black colors look much better.
Don’t even think to change to pink

Green looks far better than pink!! Please let it be a professional website instead of making it funny.

I don’t know that I ever met people from the *nix world who were that anal. Even the most uptight appreciate a good joke.
Seriously guys, pull the rod out from your posterior…

Your dislike of the color pink is an insult to Barbie dolls everywhere!

Aaaaaargh! Pink is so “Girlie”. Grow up! You know, grown ups can be “cute” too or should I say, “Qt” can be grown up too!

Sorry, “cute” is the wrong connotation and therefore the wrong pronunciation.
Perhaps the trolls think “cute” means “cool” but no. Take a look at the first
few definitions
http://www.google.com/search?q=define%3A+cute&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=com.ubuntu:en-US:unofficial&client=firefox-a
then ask yourself, does this describe the Qt functional spec? Hardly.
For that matter, do people who use Qt write “cute software” ?
Not really. Indeed, some of us don’t relish our livelihood being
implicated in some confused Norwegian misunderstanding of English
connotations.
But all is not lost. Remember the 3 rules for product naming:
1) If you see it, you can say it.
2) If you hear it, you can spell it.
3) It is unique enough for google to
find it on a solo name search.
All three are satisfied by Q-T.
So I say let the trolls have their inside joke.
The rest of us will heard, write, say and successfully search “Qt”.
But I agree the pink website is cute . . .
