Revised NXP site

Ok, guys, we had a thread about NXP's site a while ago. Long story short I wrote to them and, surprise, they engaged in a lively back-and-forth improvement session and really listened. They changed a lot of stuff, got rid of fluff and while not perfect yet I think the NXP site has improved quite a bit. Heck, now you can even use it with Java Script turned off (gets rid of the nag screen). And no, I am not paid by them, just got involved because I didn't want to see a company that was good to me go down the tubes.

So what do thee think?

Anything is an improvement.

They were sending customers away, which is not what a web site is designed for. Glad someone there actually understands the principle.

Thanks for getting involved.

Cheers Don...

Looks better than it used to ! But I don't like the floaty bookmark tab on the right hand side. Its distracting !

Methinks it be good. Better layout to get down to a specific datasheet when I knoweth the part number (base datasheet no longer hidden amongst a gazillion appnotes) and easy to drill down for additional info.

Works with Opera!

Ok, it ain't perfect yet but at least the links in there now work. Still works in progress though, should improve some more.

Better. I use Flashblock, and it doesn't even try anything tricky. The structure is still pretty weird, though.

What is the "switch to classic mode/switch to liquid mode" thing at the bottom?

And "contact" should just provide email addresses, not the dumb form to fill out.

At least they still offer the wideband transistors!

Allows you to switch back to the old Philips-style site. At the end of this improvement process they'll hopefully ditch that.

I've told them :-)

Yes. What concerned me is that only two parts show up under analog. Probably ended up in the wrong places but it'll be corrected.

Nope. They offered a gift, probably some kind of electronics gizmo. Told them to consider giving it to an orphanage or charity instead, I've got enough toys ;-)

The nice thing is that they listened, not many companies do that.

Yes, improved. But main headings don't work with Opera. (the Blue bits work fine). Rather curious, as it's the first time I've seen Opera flinch in over 2 years use.

Ok, I'll mention that. Works with Firefox, Mozilla, old Netscape and IE though.

True. But it's work in progress and 17 errors ain't all that bad for a large site. However, they must strive for zero, of course.

Nice.

Yes, I am a bit surprised that such a big company as nxp does not have the in-house expertise to make a good website.

Anyways many of those big company sites are horrible to navigate, full of boasting bull, so you did a great job in my view. Now the *next* thing is have them add a web shop, so I can order 2 transistors, or 3 different chips, without having to do a hopeless search locally for somebody who would be even willing to sell the stuff :-) Or did I overlook the webshop?
