DISCUSSIONS AROUND ONGOING PROJECTS


New Website: your feedbacks?

Personally, I'm more of a guy who favors function over form and not enamored with the trend in web page design which fills the home page with pictures and large typefaces, thereby reducing the amount of information on the home page.


I would suggest reducing the font sizes down to 2 (one for headers / one for body and having descriptions for very header. For example:

"A real community" - what about it ?

"Patchnotes" - mention the frequency of updates and what they do ... events, new content, etc

Put the info in the left column and use the right column with an image like a roll of film, where the scroll bar takes you thru a series of smaller pics ... without scrolling you down the page.

Getting back to fonts and formatting, my view is that it would benefit from a bit more consistency of formatting for a cleaner, more organized look. To take an analogy to the extreme, I think of a resume with 4 font sizes, mix of bold - underlined - italicized text, 3 bullet styles and 4 different fonts.

Like I said, intentionally took that example to the extreme to illustrate the point, but I still found it hard to focus on the information because my eyes were wandering around the page and I found myself scrolling up and down, up and down while looking for information.
