Re: GFX update : website layout



Well, I'm no "pro" at web page design, but with all the "tweaks" you were talking about, I think the new homepage (if voted in as official), will make an excellent "marketing tool", and thus make CF much more popular than ever before. Good luck, and...CHEERS! ;-)

Hehe, thanks :)
 
 
Well. So.
As Jens requested it, I'll explain what I've done for the moment on the
website.
 
* Here is a tilable banner background
 
It was first just an image of a map, without unit, Jens ask me to put some
"ingame action" without the damage bars, I think it's a lot better this
way.
(I love the copter under the 'R' of Crimson ! :))
 
* Here is a title on the banner
 
First it was a crystal in the black hexagon, but Jens told me that even if
crystals were important in the game, some maps were played without
paying attention to them, so we decided to put the CF tank instead.
 
* "About" section disappears
 
It's now in the index2.php page (the homepage), in the top text area, as an
introduction to the game for people coming on the website for the first
time.
 
* Left Panel becomes Right Panel
 
It does not contain the links to each section anymore, those links are
under
the top banner. Now this right panel will contain the latest and better
screenshot we have, for people coming for the first time again.
The "Feedback" paragraph is placed here too, always visible whatever the
section
is (before, it was hidden because of the page length, we had to scroll
down to
discover it).
 
* And voilà.
 
I said "voilà".
So, any comment ? any suggestion to improve it further ?
