Hi Marinho, > I have good news :) > > I've done today the new website of Geraldo Reports [1].
I hate to be one to say this as it looks like you've put a lot of work in, but I much, much, much preferred the look of your old site. Mainly for one reason: It was very easy to send clients to (I did) and know they'd be impressed and immediately get an idea of what Geraldo does. This was largely due to the large images of reports you used to have. I now would not send a client to it as they'd be completely confused. Also it needs some work on the wording for example: "Why should I know it? Reports are the eyes of business - specially for the chairmans - and theweb is the obvious desination for all corporate softwares, like ERPs, CRMs, etc. The cloud is here and there, so, make sense you should know a good reporting engine to make your reports on the web, and on the cloud." The above has typos, needs some grammar changes as well as the overall wording and message made clearer. > Geraldo is a tool to make business reports easy, that not necessarily > will be PDF files. For a while it just supports PDF and TXT (for file > and matrix printers), but in the future it will supports HTML, ODF, > DOC, XLS, and whatever. It uses the power of ReportLab to make PDF > files and uses also some things from its library. > > Geraldo doesn't competes with ReportLab, it is just more like Jasper > or Crystal Reports, ok? You missed out a biggie: It makes them more easily too (depending on your needs of course). > The new website is more like a redesign of the old one, but we want to > have cook book, code snippets and report templates repositories as > soon as possible. > > We are near to announce the release 0.4 (maybe in 1 or 2 weeks), with > the main features: > > - Caching > - Additional fonts > - Events system > - "Native" charts (using ReportLab functions instead of third part libraries) > - Cross reference tables > - Bar codes > - bugs fixes These are great new features to the site and to the engine. Thanks very much for all your time on this and I hope I don't come across as negative about the new site. For us developers it really doesn't matter too much as long as the site has the info we need BUT for us developers that want to impress clients or bosses it matters a LOT. I don't think the new site is appealing to clients or bosses and more to the point, I think it would just completely confuse them.
