This site

I introduced a friend to Paintball 2 this weekend, and he said he's seen our site before, but never knew what this was for.  It's been said that 1.8 seconds is all a web developer has to draw people to their site (source?)

I know this is going to rub a lot of people the wrong way but I think we need to look into a more content-driven front page.  Our front page right now is news, and there is no information on what this site is for, one could probably easily deduce that this is for a game, but there's no indication of how good it is, what makes it different, or even that it's free.  There's also no links that could be easily interpreted as 'about' or 'info' for the game...

I'm posting this not to whine, or complain about Jitspoe's site, but so that maybe Jitspoe will give the green light to the Committee to re-design the front-page in such a way that it has a little bit more information, and some screenies at the least.

Thanks,

Yea right lekky.

[y00tz]

Ah, thanks for pointing that out Lekky, I left it very vague.  What I mean is instead of getting a group of us together to decide what content we would like on the front page, we might as well use an existing group of assimilated people.  The actual "designing" could be delegated to whomever.

I think for this is would be best to just let anyone post ideas. Theres really no need to delegate this to any specific people. It would also cut out alot of potentially good ideas.

Perhaps just a blurb at the top of the news page would be sufficient: "Paintball 2 is a free first person shooter, yadda yadda yadda, click on the files page to download it."

ViciouZ suggested that, or even something to the affect of a banner that just said what this is game is about and that it is free to download.  I'm betting you don't entirely agree on the need for it, do you?

Great idea! Change everything except the blueness.
