Does My Template Look Fresh?

solaceworks · 06-18-2008, 08:09 PM

New Game Doller Arcade design, any criticism or comments welcome. The things I've changed are:
Intro
Header
Colors
menus

Game Doller Arcade

I'm also looking to exchange hard links from the bottom of my intro page but don't want to exchange with any Spamy sites.

I think the use of flash on the intro page and header of arcade is pretty cool. The header was even inspiring to me to want to try a flash header myself. I didn't hear the audio, but that flash intro is freaky, good work.

The use of an intro page seems a little dated, since you asked about freshness. There could be some SEO implication there too, depending on how you approach it. I think you should do whatever you want, but I might try integrating the welcome page flash in to the arcade main index, and then move the arcade index to be at www.gamedoller.com.

Did you do the flash?

Thank you Mark for your good feedback. I will be looking into detecting new users and showing the intro in a pop-up because I think this will not only help with SEO but also with usability as well. Yes I created the flash.

Great, you've got an edge being able to create original flash for your arcade, whether it's banners or games. Keep it up...

Looks nice, especially because you did it yourself.

I found the intro annoying and the header gave me a headache. But the site looks nice!

I think the flash header should stop rotating/moving after the buildings rise the first time.

gameserpent · 06-19-2008, 09:52 AM

I agree with what has already been said above. Get rid onf the intro page and flash header should stop movement after buildings rise......But also...is "doller" spelled correctly? or is that the UK spelling for dollar?

Thank you, I will consider your feedback and lol my arcade doesn't have any thing to do with money, although my site is green and my name on the forum is a little contradicting, A doller is a cosplayer who performs a variant of kigurumi cosplay. My intro was a attempt to tie in the kigurumi and anima theme a little better but maybe I could coin the term doller into an arcade currency.

EDIT: I slowed the spinning of the header down for people that can't handle the flash.
