| ioi said: We are planning to add loads of new video stuff - game previews, video reviews, game guides and allsorts. The downside is that it comes back to my initial problem here. As we expand and add even more cool stuff it's just going to get lost unless we can present it better to visitors, I can't keep adding new boxes on the homepage for each new feature. DirtyP2002 and SamuelRSmith have the right idea of what I'm talking about - maybe make the homepage more of a portal and divide the site into distict areas or even new domains / sub-sites. |
While I think this is all nice stuff, it's a bit unneeded. Gamefaqs is king on game guides, it's why they're one of the biggest sites worldwide. The other two are widely covered by big sites like Gamespot and IGN. I believe these would be useful additions, but they're not going to help the site get any bigger (content maybe, slowdown considerably). The two main draws of any video game website are content and community. Our main content consists of sales numbers, and our articles related to them (such as those from the Source), and those are the things that are the most popular. Those are the things we need to work on. The real key is making a revolution out of the content, something that would draw whole new kinds of attention. A better format would help, but this site has been stuck at the same web rank with all sorts of different formats.
And community. Well, I already ranted about that. I'd be perfectly willing to help with that if you think it will improve the site.
