New Homepage Coming Soon ...

19 years ago

Hey gang, take a look at the new home page I've been working on. I'm experimenting with different layouts, but here's what I've got: http://test.myadventuregame.com/index.new.asp.


Thoughts? Comments? I'd like to pack more info and make it like an aggregate type of informational page.


What would you like to see on the home page?

I never look at the home page, my homepage is the forum...

Hopefully this will change when we have a new, dynamic page. There is no reason to visit the current one -- it's always the same and too static.

What would you like to see? Recent posts to messages? New Games? I'd like to add a bit more things.

Take a look and let me know.

I already took a look, and I think there is something just a little wrong...  Can't really put my finger on it but on the positive side I think it might be cool to have MAG news.  Lke recently "JJJ-thebanisher's CSI game got 8 Thumbs up by March and will be featured".  Or something like that...

I have to agree with jjj. Its too plain. Not a real homepage. Im not sure what the home page should be like but its great with the News and Updates. I think you may have too much there cause it is a little long. Maybe only 3 updates is good.

i think the reason we are iffy on it is because nothing on the homepage is connected with each other like the current one. Why not keep the current layout and just change the logo guy to the contest picture?

LAYOUT.  Thats the word, ya thats what was wrong for me...

i was thinking about the lay out idea for the home page. the site is based on stories right? stories traditionally went into...books. how about putting a book on the home page and have tabs on the right of the book that represent all the pages accessable to the guest or member? on the cover of the book you can have the Logo guy. The book could be called MyAdventureGame.Com. just a thought that hit me pretty quick.

Oh, I misunderstood, I thought you meant put a game on the cover, like sept. 14th (Not my opin. but populer one), now i understand though.

i can understand why you would be confused. i didnt explain it very well. when i said put a book on the front page i meant put a Picture of a book (not one particular) and have tabs on the side that link to things like Forums, My Suff, Games etc...

There should be a book with a link to every game on the site...

This is a very good idea -- Choco and I have been talking about redoing the layout of the site and making it more book-like. Although the look we have now is vintage 80's looking, it feels more "Action" than "CYOA". 

obviously webdesign is not my forte, so I will just wait until chocobot comes back. We will work on a new layout altogether. In the meantime i'll just tweak the page for the contest ...

Don't worry, it didnt' seem right to me, either. Besides, I wouldn't have asked for opinions if I didn't want them!

Helpfull indeed. You encouraged me not to put a new homepage up bymself. I don't like working on page design, so it worked for everyone

LoL, ya thats true.  Its just never good to get on the bad side of the programmer of the site....  Thats like lipping of your boss or if your religious, god...

i dont see that as a home page. there is too much about updates and news that it just doesnt feel like a home page. although i love the logo. maybe you should make a Contest link on the page and put that logo up there.

Nate, I agree completely.  You have my vote.

I have to agree. Needs a better layout. Check out other sites and find one that has things like this. Goto these sites and look how there is the main features on the right, news in the middle, and speacial things on the right such as the top 5 games or a poll. That's what we need! Polls

We have been talking about the front page for awhile now. I think that to encourage others to join we should show the two latest members to join and there avatar if they got one yet. It would be a great way to see if the site is gaining popularity.

Copied and Pasted from FWW forum. He said it goes here.

Yes, I agree, and it should have the two latest gams as well.
