Well?

[Morrus]

What do you think? Good, bad, none of the above?

What am I talking about? The new news page, of course! It's a work-in-progress, so feel free to stick your oar in!

Overall, I like the new look.

It is less cluttered and easier on the eyes. It is a bit long, but I know you have been away. I hope you are fully rested.

I like the more informal style. It is more conversational, and provides news without being a news site.

To put it short, I prefered the old style of the website, but I prefer this way of reporting news, even if it's going to be a hassle to find something in the archive...

Perhaps if I look into adding a search feature?

I really like the editorial style, but I found that the shorter notices, where you just say 'a review of this product is up here' and the like, were a bit harder to sift through.

Perhaps these could be a little more separated? A bulleted list in it's own little subsection, or perhaps just a few more breaks, so that each item has it's own line?

I don't mind the new style at all, but I miss the "product schedule" dates and pictures that used to be on the right hand side. I went to look for it, and, if it's somewhere else, I can't find it.

I use it to figure out when the next good book I want is coming out from WOTC and save money for it. I find that searching WOTC's site for that information is too difficult.

I really like the new look. It is clean and easy to read, the line length works out nicely and I prefer the chatty editorial style.

One thing that seems missing? would it be worth having links to the most recent "natural 20 press" publication on the links menu (perhaps towards the bottom?). Not a biggie.

One other thought - would it work having a "latest 5 reviews from d20reviews" automatically included, to raise the profile of that part of the website?


Cheers,

it's easy to read, nice and simple layout, but it looks, well bland and dull. I liked the other better than this as this just looks well boring...


call me picky but i think the front page needs a lil spice too it..

 

[poilbrun]

Perhaps if I look into adding a search feature?

That would be great indeed...

And maybe you could make a page containing the release dates for the upcoming products in a calendar-style page, and with a link for each book leading to the review page for the product so that the links to preview or things the like could easily be found.

And maybe you could take the idea you had had before leaving for Gen Con to put the links on the top in various categories to help people find what they're looking for more easily...

I really like when things change!

Salutations,

Perhaps I am just missing it- but I don't see a link to the ENWorld store.
