Hey all, We are looking to launch our project very shortly but for now have a splash page up.. We were wondering how / what would be the best method to add maybe 2 sections to our splash page.. - Bookmark us ? - Emailing List / Newsletter Field ? This is the Splash Page for our upcoming project: http://bf4hq.com/ there is room for two buttons / sections.. now it's been a while since ive used any of the above.. So any Help / Advice ? on how to do this would be great As we are still unsure on a "Official Launch" for our BF4 website we would love to be able to maximize potential new members should they come across our site in it's current state... So is there a popular all in one script for the above ? or do we need to custom code this ? or is it too advanced that we may need to hire someone ? Regards, Darren
Hiya, For bookmarking I found the following script. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3024745/cross-browser-bookmark-add-to-favorites-javascript for emailing / newsletter http://www.phplist.com/ Good luck!
Great TY.. will take a look into it shortly, hopefully this works.. I know of the social bookmarking addons / scripts but from memory no one actually used the "Bookmark us" browser bookmark i think most of them were for social networking sites / social bookmarking I want the visitor if they see my splash page to be interested and bookmark my url to their browser.
Whenever you realize "No one actually used the 'bookmark us' browser bookmark" you really should ask "Is there a reason for this?" There most certainly is a reason you don't see this on websites -- it's functionality already built into every browser. They want to bookmark visitors can use the built in one -- Do NOT waste time and pointless code bloat/scripting for nothing to replicate something built into every browser out there! It's a waste of space, waste of time, waste of bandwidth, and on the whole belongs on the list of things NOT to do on a website. (just like using target to force new windows, px metrics on content fonts, fixed width layouts, etc, etc.) Though since you have a "splash page" like it's 2001 (something else on the list of how not to build a website) with illegible color contrasts, bloated markup, illogical use of paragraphs and headings, jquery for *** knows what, and of course the steaming pile of manure known as HTML 5 mated to everything WRONG with HTML 5 practices like the stupid malfing "wrap the HTML tag a half dozen times in CC's" garbage Paul Irish came up with, unreliable 'modernizr.js' trash, idiotic CC'd out "warning" because it's not coded with graceful degradation in mind, multiple paragraphs breaking up a single sentence, even more code bloat due to the halfwit rubbish known as bootstrap, etc, etc... Laundry list of how not to build a website -- as evident by the 5k of markup to deliver 521 bytes of plaintext and no content images, and the whopping ridiculous 536k in 12 files before you even have anything resembling real content.
Though since you have a "splash page" like it's 2001 (something else on the list of how not to build a website) LOL Yes I know.. but sadly this site / project was delayed and is now a little bit of damage limitation rather than "moving back to the 90's" and "splash pages" I am working around the clock to get the new design ready. Good to see someone else got out of the same side of bed as i did for a change !! Darren
I agree with deathshadow on this one. Best thing to do is to add a facebook like button and or a fan box on your splash page. its a lot better. and they can go to your fan page and be updated on the launch.
