Not a bad drawing xD |
For sure, new changes and layouts will definitely annoy people and alienate some, but don't let that stop you from changing things up! Like how I didn't like the changes on My Nintendo News, I've gotten used to it and will dare say that it was better than before. Just takes time getting used to
I personally do not really mind the current layout, but what spemanig has suggested does look really nice and refreshing. Not sure what the original blue and white colours were, but I don't mind this colour palette either!

I wouldn't be opposed to a pallet change either, even though I've grown quite fond of the current one.
I can see how the black, green, and orange can look fugly to some people, though.

Nah, I disagree completely, especially if you've been on the site longer than 5/6 years. I can go to other forums and chat video games, but VVGC is specifically designed for sales. OT: What's going to happen? Well, as of now, the staff is putting things in motion to keep this place interesting, while introducing new elements (some I know of, others I can't disclose, yet). |
I've been here for a few months. Didn't think the sales were the main focus of the website

12/22/2016- Made a bet with Ganoncrotch that the first 6 months of 2017 will be worse than 2016. A poll will be made to determine the winner. Loser has to take a picture of them imitating their profile picture.

This is a sad state of affairs. I've been here a few years, and they once were.
spurgeonryan said: I love the current color. Huge changes will just push even more people away. @cgi Sales threads are more or less dead. Sorry to say. Every once in a while a gem will pop up. |
Eh. I think it can all depend, really. I don't think a change in color pallet has to be too alienating if it's done with thought and tact.

Hm... That's difficult to work around. I definitely do think there desperately needs a redesign. I think change naturally alienates some people, but I strongly believe that the way the site is currently is very disorganized to put it lightly. I think it's very counterintuitive to the kinds of traffic I think the site can get, and I think it pretty much guarantees that the articles will get little attention. It almost feels like we're sending the articles out to die with the way it's currently laid out, which just isn't fair to me, and seems to run against the best intrests of the site. The discomfort is definitely a consistant feeling across all websites, but more often than not people simply get used to that change, as Platina's post above regarding the Nintendo dedicated sites also illustrated. It's tough, because it's difficult for me to think of a way to keep the Forum Hot Topics at the top while giving the articles the primary attention I think they deserve. Perhap making the Featured Article section I made and cutting it in half. The Global Hardware can slide into the middle (much like it is now -_-), and then the ad would go where the Hardware box used to be. That way it's the same as it used to be, the articles still have a relatively prominant position on the front page, and the Forum Hot Topics doesn't have to move positions. Just slide up the recent articles, and you have a much more intuitive page layout that drives traffic and represent's the site's various sections more efficiently. Something like this: As for the VGC buddy, I was assuming it would be much like the way youtube used to do it, where clicking on it would actually shift the entire page about half an inch to the right, making room for that tab by closing the blank, unoccupied space. I don't see why this couldn't be the same. If anything, I guess it could be on the side. I just think it looks a bit cluttered the way it is currently, so I was trying to make the whole thing tidier. |
I'm liking what I see. Especially the big box at the top to display the news. I think your first draft was better because it was less cramped but if I go by Machina's comments I'm guessing we don't really have a choice when it comes to ad placement. Now, you wouldn't happen to have some Photoshop skills and could whip up a sample new homepage?
Signature goes here!

I don't haha but I have a close friend who is lol so I may be able to whip up something.
I like the first one better as well, but like you say, I think this is the best case scenario given the restrictions on ad placement.

Right, so unfortunately I don't have access to someone who can help me make a sample in a timely manner. I tried doing it myself, but I don't have access to the appropriate software.
It would also look extremely amateur if I made it lol but I though it was worth the try.
