I appreciate the improvements made on the site since I registered some time back! I don’t have the time right now to really explore all the benefits of being a member, nor figure out how to enter in calculations (seems labor intensive, time consuming, no?), but what I have tested seems quite user-friendly. I haven’t encountered any glitches yet. Not sure how to acquire CC friends…another gander about the site, I guess.

Meryn,

Thanks for your comments. Our UI is ever evolving just like our database of Creative Solutions, so you can rest assured that we will perpetually improve the user experience.

Creative Citizen is written in Ruby on Rails and we have used the most current and innovative techniques for scalability and structure. The User urls are not an error, but a policy decision for user privacy.

If you have any other questions don’t hesitate to contact me at argam@creativecitizen.com

Thanks,

Argam

Found another “error”: User urls are based on userid, not username.

Please don’t tell me it’s written in ASP.NET.

It’s a good concept, but the design is far too noisy. It looks almost from the nineties. There’s obviously lots of interactivity, but it doesn’t look “web 2.0″. The design doesn’t make me want to interact with the site immediately.

I see in the video they even have a rich text editor. That’s just NOT in line with the current popular sites.

I wonder if the designer of this site uses blogs and social media intensively himself. And I wonder if he’s on a mac. He might be on Windows.
