telerik skins survey

by ASP.NET AJAX Team | Comment 1
I’ve been having this nightmare recently that we’re off track with what customers are looking for in terms of interface design, and I guess the best way to find out how we’re doing is to ask you guys. So I’ve set up a short online survey for all willing to help us feel where the industry is heading and provide feedback for what they need. Your feedback so far is truly encouraging and will be instrumental in crafting our future plans for skin development, interface design and visual presentation of all telerik components. I would strongly encourage all of you with a stake in our product line to take a part of the survey – this is your chance to speak out, so we can deliver :) Once I play around with the data I will publish here a brief highlight of our strategy for keeping r.a.d.controls the standard for professional interfaces, so check back. Meanwhile, feel free to leave a comment here if you forgot to include anything in your survey…

One point I forgot to mention in the survey, it came to me afterward.

You guys have a lot of nice styles showing the variety of what can be done, but I think the variety can hurt. Here's why:

When we're working on spec'ing out new features, I'd love to be able to say to the business guy - "here's an idea and let me show you how it works." Then I take him to your site.

Take the tab control. I would argue that you actually have two different controls there - contrast the second line between "ClassicGrey" and "Cool".

We both know that this is simply a CSS change, but for me to explain that to a non-techie on the fly is difficult.

Because I can't show him exactly what I'm thinking without shoing him some outlandish designs, I hesitate in taking him to that page.

If I had an implementation of the "telerik" style with a "cool" second line, I'm in like flint. Obviously, the "cool" coloring needs to match the telerik colorset better, but I hope you see my point.
