My site is for killing boredom online! There's a very active forum (ad revenue sharing), games, and articles on funny/interesting videos, images etc. http://www.noddegamra.co.uk I think I need a better way of presenting archived articles to newcommers (so they easily find "classic" stuff), and also make the forum stand out more to get more people on it/signing up. All comments appreciated
You've got a really nice site there. Here's what I might do: Widen the page so that you can fit more content without a user having to scroll. Divide content into navigation boxes so that more is visible at first glance. Your Rss button is buried at the footer, move that to the header.
Hya, thanks for the tips! what do you mean by "Divide content into navigation boxes" though? I didn;t quite understand
Okay you see how you have your content divided by rows - that is when I land on your page I can see all of the zelda themes and just the tip of the simpsons one? (My screen res is 1024 x 768) If you widen the page, and then use a box format instead of a row format, you should be able to fit at least the first 4 columns on first glance. That way when visitors land, they are more likely to see something they like before they leave.
Ah, thankyou! I understand now. I'm not sure how I will still fit in the descriptive text that goes with them though.. hmm, I will have to think of how to include that. Maybe the pictures will entice clicks on their own without descriptive text? I may have to try some trial and error...
I like the idea a ton! Finding a way to differentiate from similar sites will be crucial. Perhaps flash gaming could take a more prominent role on the front page somewhere. I will be excited to see what the "Forum Competition" will be.
Thanks for the tips The competition prize will be an iPod shuffle. I'm just trying to think of a worthy competition that anyone can join in on. Any suggestions?
