About DiskeryWhat's With Diskery's 'Rero' Look![]() One of the most notable features on Diskery is it's page layout. By default Diskery displays itself in 'Classic' screen layout; the layout of v2.x. Many people look at this as 'retro', reminiscent of Internet days gone by. Critics will say it's an "old website that needs an update". Well, we have news for you... Diskery's look has sort of become iconic with those who have followed the site for many years. The layout you see by default actually developed in 2013 and was first viewed by the public in late 2014. Diskery's website has been in operation for over 20 years and has gone through three major design changes. The 'Classic' design remained because of it's iconic and popular use and was deliberately chosen to give the impression of an old website... much like the neighborhood used record store - a cozy, well worn, comfortable, locals only institution. However, there are several other 'skins'/looks you can choose from catering to those who wish a more 'Midern' (yes - that's the name of the 'skin') look, as well as a 'Simplified' one for those who want low bandwidth or easier accessibility, as well as a corresponding 'Midnight' mode - like "Simplified' except using inverse colors. By using the "Choose Skin Type" dropdown menu you can select between these designs. The pages are engineered to be easy to use, fast to load, low on data usage, easy to read, and can be viewed just as well on mobiles as with stationary (PC) computers. They also have an advantage of being modular, easy to program and update. Unlike many other sites, they also utilizes the viewer's full screen instead of squeezing the content down the center in a lazy effort to accommodate mobile screens. The site is written using modern technologies like CSS, PHP, SQL, Java & HTML5. In short - there is nothing old about Diskery's technology! Record #: 55 Related Subjects:
