Yes, this mouse-over colour is much better. The other one was too stark against the background. This one isn't as intense...

I like it... it's different... I like different things... :P

MORE UPDATES

I spent some time and fixed up a few of the website pages. Most noticeable took off the HAT references, since Grey has ended that game.

What isn't noticeable is that I spent the time to redo some of the HTML for the pages to make it easier to read and clean up the extra stuff that was left behind from previous versions of the pages (before I took it over).

Just a little FYI is all.

COLOR SCHEMES !!!

What do you fine people say on color schemes?
Should I stick with the blues or try something else?

Give me some alternate choices for Text, Background, Links, Misc.

Get as detailed as you like.

I'll give you guys a week before I begin making any drastic changes.

New Website Creation


OK, here I am again.

I need input from everyone.

Tell me what you want as far as color schemes and graphics go. Be as specific as you can be. If you know of some cool fonts that you'd like to see, let me know what they are and where to find them.

I created a logo for us, but still need a banner for us. I can put something together pretty quick for that. Just need to get the time together for this stuff.

Thats about all I need really.

I'd like to get the feedback/input before the holidays, so I can work on this stuff.

Thanks!

I think what you have done looks good Rick, it's fresh and new and I honestly don't have anything really to say about it.

However, rest assured that if I do think of something, I'll let you know... emoticon

Thanks, Heather, but I want a new look for both the website and the forums.

I really want to know what everyone wants to see, so I have more to work with.

Otherwise, I'll come up with some strange stuff and throw it together into a website, then do my best to match the forums to it.

Don't make me do that. emoticon

New Website vs. Current Website


Alright, I went and did it. Not sure if that's a good thing or a bad one, yet.

Of course, I'm talking about the website being updated.

No one has given me any feedback about the changes, so I'm guessing that everyone is fine with them.

However, I'm still not satisfied. I want to do LOTS more. I know most of you don't frequent the website or these forums, so I shouldn't expect too much for feedback. Even a little bit would be nice.

As for the current changes I made goes, we have a new and improved(?) logo, new page link buttons with mouseover effects and page layouts have changed.

The logo is nice, but not what I was originally wanting. It works for now though, until I have more time to spruce it up.

The buttons work better than I had expected. When you first go to website, you do need to let it load-up. After that initial load-up, the pages and effects should work smoothly.

The page layouts changed so that you don't have to go to three pages to get related info, such as game schedules, listing and chat server information. All of that is on one page now. Of course, I'll be tweaking that to look better and easier to read, but for now it is there.

I did add a SWEF History page. It's stripped of a lot of details that not many would be interested in, so I think it's perfect for our site.

I also added a links page, so if anyone knows of some links that would be good to have on that page, let me know. Eventually, we will have a banner exchange thing going, where a banner from the links page will be displayed on the main page for a week and then swap with another. I am hoping that by exchanging banners with other similar websites, we will get more players into our games. At least that's the intention.

Let me know what you think and if there is any way to improve the site.

Thanks

New Website


OK, I think I'm about done. For now.

All of the pages are updated and the newest graphics are up and running.
I got the form on the Join page to work, and am happy with it.
I made a newer logo and like it better. I tried several other logos, but they didn't pan out like I had hoped.

Let me know if you see anything out of place or needing to be fixed. I did a lot of this stuff rather fast, and even though I checked it over and over again, I could have made some mistakes and not caught them.

Anyway, take a look at things, just to look, if you like.

Enjoy!
