A New Website for WoW Modding

<< < (4/27) > >>

Jøk3r:
Just by having a working (map) editor for newer versions than 3.3.5 the modding scene would be more active in my opinion.

As a web designer I would like to add a few things no offense to anyone its a nice initiative and this is just some friendly advice, 1st functionally the slider on the top isn't really necessary you should try composing the front page to hold all relevant categories up front as soon as the page loads without using the scroller, you can manage art/design in the free space around the forum interface.
Second thing design wise the logo is really bad is that a comic sans font or something?:) I can make a nice logo for you, this is the most recent one I made for a friends private server

Yes, the logo is really bad. I made it in a hurry and can't afford to pay people anymore, because of Uni. I can assure you it's definitely not Comic Sans though. As for the slider, we decided it is necessary after spending about 3 months trying to find an alternative to it. During that time we've asked for feedback from dozens of people, consulted 4 different web designers, and brain-stormed plenty ourselves. I also went to school for web design over a short time before quitting because I didn't like it and financial reasons.

Btw.. we really, really love the slider :) Thank you for the thoughts though

Well ofcourse its not set in stone what you should do on your website its yours after all, but theres nice WP templates with scrolling backgrounds or paralax backgrounds if you want to put WoW art more prominently. Sliders function usually is linking that image to some content on the website, and since you put it up there just aesthetically you could add more images at least lol, but again its up to you.

And what CMS did you use I couldnt detect anything was this custom made?

Milly:
This was made using the Invision Power Suite. Also, we're still new so we haven't really gotten around to a lot of things. The main purpose of the slider is actually to hold text and link to featured projects and so on. However, this was one of our ambitions during our WordPress/phpBB phase, and I'm not totally sure how the new slider works. It's a third party slider added in entirely separate from the Invision Power platform.
