AAAA Website Layout

Hi all well have been doing a bit on the website - tweaks and changes and always ask for feed back and TBH it really does help......

At present not to sure what to do with the main landing page.............

Its hard because in some ways I want to post so much on their so any one who visits the first time knows how much is going on and dont miss anything and also a visitor has lots to explore and click on out of interest.

Its funny because I guess in some ways it all needs to be displayed in the main page before scrolling to much and was a very good point Ubersoldier (Dave) made as in to much scrolling to find stuff.........

So I am trying to find the best balance on the landing page.......

A few things is I am reducing the graphics and images as in clan banners - I have removed them from main page now as its a massive load and who sits their watching them scroll but now we have a clan database linked on main menu -: http://www.mohaaaa.co.uk/AAAAMOHAA/content/clans-mohaa

Some thoughts is I use this website a lot in work as its one of the few that I can access - Its not my choice of news papers but it has a lot of content and is an example of a scroll page where you have to explore.............

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/index.html

I guess i use this as an example as its a bit busy well a lot !! lol but has a lot to off as in content and I do explore on it but at the same time it is page overload as in where to start.........

BUT here is another example -:

http://news.sky.com/

Well out of the above two Sky website looks the cleanest and is a lot easier on the eye and nice easy links BUT TBH they have as much content as the Mail site but I end up spending 2 mins on Sky and then like all morning on the mail as I explore and find more where as on sky its like 2mins and then feel I have seen all if that makes sense

So any way I kind of think the first half of the main page layout is nice and clean like the shout box area as its like only two columns so info on the left then main content - I think after the second scroll page its like all 3 columns and info overload like
the Daily Mail but its like where do I start

So I am wanting to get more to a sort of more basic landing page BUT give clear menu structure and info box's to explore more but a whole less busy and head banging - so bare with me the next week as I make some changes - If I get it correct then all you find now will be easier

Happy shooting - Kill em ALL and kill em again

Re: AAAA Website Layout

Hello Jon...... Yippie!!!! I found the Forums. After not able to find the forums on the top of the first page where it was more convenient, I thought Ahhh Jons having another mental Website breakdown. I can imagine in your household were Tina is constantly asking you. Jon were the hell have you put my slippers? and you replying Oh! "I put them in the fridge" Were's the sugar Jon?, Oh yes, "Look in the Coal bucket"

After many hours of searching and with much patience I came to the conclusion that you had introduced a puzzle game. FIND THE FORUMS. I am wondering whether I am the first person to be successful and if so, I claim the first prize

Re: AAAA Website Layout

lol the bar with the forum etc. seems to be missing at your page.. I can see it though, that's weird haha.
Edit: On IE I see the bar with forum etc. but on firefox it doesn't show for me.

Oh and on a side-note: I still have that annoying loading circle next to my cursor xD Could it be that it's trying to load the new cursor that does work on firefox/chrome? Cause I really don't want to start using a different browser.

Re: AAAA Website Layout

Re: AAAA Website Layout

Nope still missing...Shall i make a blog so people can help looking for it? Tongue

Re: AAAA Website Layout

said a lot in the shoutbox already - That bar with recent posts and stuff is still not showing, logging out-in doesn't help. But if i'm the only one this is not a problem (maybe nobby can confirm)

Next to that the shoutbox is now showing in the middle of the page in stead of top - Hope you did it this way...?

When I logged out and wanted to log back in, i had a message coming up about this site...Think it's not meant to be that everyone gets this message:

above it you can see the box to log in with the code etc, underneath you can see the shoutbox.

Re: AAAA Website Layout

Looks good now, reasonably fast in loading. ok on IE/Firefox. Now just dont bloody well tamper with it again, or i'll chop your bloody fingers off.
Thanks Tom I knew you would sort it LOL. I still have to take a deep breath and close my eyes before I Log on.

Re: AAAA Website Layout

I promise Nobby

So Is yours now sorted then Tom - If its not maybe clear your Browser Cache but hopefully its all sorted for you as well

Happy shooting - Kill em ALL and kill em again
