Site: www.tritonic.ro
Overall: Only if your life depends on it

“We have a site! We have a site!” The cheerleaders sing in front of the stadium. “We have search! We do electronic commerce! You can order online!“ But after the first minutes the spectators already left.

The design is plain ugly and there are many errors. The online orders spits out lots of

“Notice: Undefined index: autor in
/var/www/html/tritonic/tritonic.ro/cos.php”.

I didn’t dare to explore this part further. There are missing pictures. The site break the back browser button. The usability is wonderful but totally missing (Iarta-mă nene Caragiale!)

The good point (there are some ):

• There IS a site
• Many parts function correctly. Unfortunately the fiction.ro collection is in big trouble
• Obviously they invest some energy in the site. This is a good sign.

 

The sister site www.fiction.ro is even worse. Let’s not go into details.

Notable books:
The New Crobuzon trilogy:

• Statia Pierzaniei (Perdido Street Station)
• Cicatricea (The Scar)
• Consiliul de Fier (Iron Council)

 

I visited recently Tritonic and Millennium Press web sites. Terrible disappointment.
I seriously consider making a review of sci-fi publisher web sites. I wonder what I’ll find.
