l4ci Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Hello forum, I am wondering what you people think about my new website. Or better: I would like to get critique GETMINECRAFT.COM What is this going to be? My plans are to make this site a easy to use and get started page for any minecraft newbie. In some simple steps the unaware-of-minecraft-visitor should be able to get to know minecraft, get to understand it and find links to server/wikis/etc that help him find the right way into the minecraft community. Why in steps and not as link-collection/landing page? Link collections tend to grow and grow with more links, less or more important, dead links etc. And after a while noone know what to click and how to keep everything clean and userfriendly. By using step-by-steps the visitor doesnt see tons of links on the first page, he gets to it right at the time he needs them. Your feedback! I would love to get some feedback, even though you shouldn't see the page as finished yet. Look at it as BETA. Thanks for reading, visiting, feedbacking or even spreading the link.

lastkarrde Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Make the actual list/links alot bigger and more prominent. Mayby swap it with the current "What is minecraft.." so that it takes 2/3 of the page up.

Mh you mean the navigation links, or the links in content area? if(navigation links){ #navigation should not really be too big, because visitors should follow the steps via the buttons # e.g. clicking on 'Sounds good? Make the first step' rather than clicking 'Play minecraft' in the navigation }else{ # okay, but as big as the headlines?! } Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/228444-critique-and-feedback-on-getminecraftcom/#findComment-1178083 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastkarrde Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Oh right, I didn't see/think that button was a link. You misspelled extreme on http://www.getminecraft.com/get_started.html Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/228444-critique-and-feedback-on-getminecraftcom/#findComment-1178302 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ignace Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I like it alot. You certainly took my advice on explaining what minecraft is. I would add some in-game items to the website (opacity 10% background bottom-right, top-left) so that the visitor gets familiar with how the game looks and gets inspired to read more about Minecraft.

You misspelled extreme on http://www.getminecraft.com/get_started.html Yes I know, the content is not even finished yet, so everything will get corrected I like it alot. You certainly took my advice on explaining what minecraft is. First: thank you.. but what do you mean with I took your advice? I think you are talking about getminecraft NET which is not my site Yea some minecraft stuff is missing, but its hard to fit pixel art in such a design... but I will try.
