New loading bar!

[designcommunication]

Hi!

OK, as we all know, Flash sites can, at times, take a little longer to load than other sites. Not just with Wix, but any site with a lot of Flash going on.

So, here's my idea.

There are many, high quality sites designed in Flash and what they can have is a loading bar which says something like 90% loaded - you get what I mean. This means that viewers of the site are aware that it is loading and it's not just a case that the site isn't working properly.

It also often (always?) means that the site is designed in Flash, which means you know that you are logging onto a site of high quality - as Flash provides a high quality look and user experience to a site.

What I'm putting forward is a request to have a loading bar which lets people know how far the site has loaded for the reasons outlined above.

Even if the majority of the site has loaded, a loading bar which tells people there's more to come could be useful.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Simon

Hey Simon,

This is a great request and has been mentioned in quite a few threads. I am in total agreement with you. I had posted a link in one of the threads that was probably deleted which showed about 50 different preloader examples. For some reason I am not able to find it.

Hi Gaven. Thanks.

I think it will reduce the risk of people immediately clicking off sites.

Something which would also be really cool are animated load bars to give viewers to sites something to look at while it's loading. Not sure I've seen any of those, unless I have but it hasn't really registered that they're load bars!

Have you seen any animated load bars?

Here is one of the links that I had put in one of the threads. Awesome stuff.

Pretty Loaded - a preloader museum curated by Big Spaceship

Now that's what I'm talking about!

Stunning examples. Incredible graphics which also engage the audience.

The amazing thing is, you enter the site almost without knowing you've just viewed a loading bar.
