UNA - not for me

I installed the UNA for testing and I have to say it - it is not for me. I have small family web site and Dolphin works work fine for what I need. UNA too complicated and not "user friendly". I stick with Dolphin as long as I can and when the Family Connection software get updated, I may switch to it.

 I agree! I tested Una yesterday. Complicated and not nice template to work with. For me the theme seems to be for older seniors with bad eyes. The icons is so big that it fits 4 icons on one icons on Una CPanel. And to get a license key seems to be hard to. I sent them a messages but no respond. Dolphin is nice and you can get a site that will be popular. Look at MFC my free cams.com that have an older look a like Dolphin and allso look at Xhamster that have almost the same look. But on the net there is no one that have this look as Una. What can you do with this theme and look? Not much. To build a dating site with this theme it will never be popular.

There should be like and pre set up per site intentions eg, real estate, pet site e commerce and so on. You just run the script for that pre set up and the blocks arranged by default and have sample content even if its "lorem ipsum" samples. This way member can easily adapt and just make changes fast. I see these option in theme forest.

For now new web owner that is  is not familiar with UNA will be scared specially back-end. But I agree Dolphin 7 is more, web owner friendly. :)

 

Just my 2 cents.

Don't try to host with Boonex/Zarconia or UNA because you get NO SUPPORT.  They won't answer any of the emails.

UNA is worse than Ning was 10 years ago.

I'm seriously looking at Drupal for my future projects.

From my layout point of view, UNA has amateurish childish design from 90th, when not too many site designers were caring about interline spacing and colors and spacing, etc.

 

Huge breadcrumbs block (67px height) just for one line of 12px text, huge container (88px height) just for an author picture and name, huge bx-cover header (100++px) with nothing on it but background, a lot of high spacing between all of them and then finally content somewhere down there almost on second screen scroll... Who need content, visitors would better look at huge blocks with breadcrumbs and empty header..

And no footer design at all. It's left forgotten.

 

Dear Boonex, please think (but I know you won't, as always) of hiring a good designer. Seriously. Better on some well-known framework like Bootstrap, so development will take less time and users will be able to change/alter site theme quickly. Check other sites over the internet and how they look and feel like. Check new technologies. Please turn off your TimeMachine while developing.

 

Come on, Boonex, it's almost 2019 already! Not 1999 anymore, hey!

 

At least it will look presentable.

 

Oh, almost forgot about...

Maybe you can also hire html coder to avoid div garbaging everywhere just to show one single block with an icon in it... It's been there since very long time.
