Someone described our front page as a 'wall of text' in the past. That set me to get the GDN Labs busy whipping up something to freshen up the front page. And numerous hours of struggling to get all the bricks back in place after the reconstruction I'm proud to announce that the new GDN front page is now in place. It includes a lot of major changes:
News items now have images accompanying them.
News and feature articles show date, comments and ratings
The latest screenshot is shown with title, description.
The last video added is shown.
New games has moved to the main window with a partial description of the last game added to our DB.
The right side has become a shopping center - Newest additions at GamersGate
Used Games - Goozex's EU most requested. Soon if you're in the US/CAN you'll see the North American version while EU readers will see the EU one.
Increased our Social network presence.
Now with all that done, we have to rebalance the sidebars and so look for more changes coming in the near future.
Additionally, all of these changes will begin spreading to other portions of the site where we have historically had the dreaded wall of text.
Changes coming include:
Better search and results pages.
Better News Archive pages
Improved video and screen shots listings.
Social/Community improvements.
If you have any comments or suggestions, my inbox is always open and I'm nearly always available on instant messengers. We do all of this for the gamers, so please let us know what you'd like to see.
