Website testing

cmccarra · 01-10-2010 9:44pm #1

Well, I'm creating a gaming website (with an Irish spin, but not limited to Irish) and I'm looking for some people who would test it out, the features, the UI etc. and give their views on the website, any changes they would suggest. If you would be willing to help me out just reply or pm me. Thanks!

The website has a blog for gaming related news. A slight social network aspect to it eg. Friend connections, profiles, groups, forums, private messaging and more. The concept behind it is to allow gamers to connect easily arrange matches, discuss, keep up to date with their clans activity, and find out the latest gaming news.

Sure, Let us know know what you want to do.

I like it when people come up with new ideas and things. Hopefully your website will be a success.

Hey, if you want to write other news I'll happily give you permissions

So that's a note taken, look more into other games

Looks nice and clean, which is good and it's not black, which is also good. Too many similar sites are black. It might be a little too sterile though, maybe consider a more eye-catching logo. Visually though I'd say you're doing pretty well. Over-crowded sites are never good.

You could do with a bit more than just news though, you won't get many repeat visits when kotaku and the likes do the same thing, but with more writers and more updates. On your own you just can't keep news going up regularly enough. I'd say stick to a few stories a week and give a few opinions, the way you did with the Black Ops patch, but with a bit more detail. What's this about conenction problems? Why didn't the patch do enough? What do you want them to sort out? etc.

Whatever you do with it though, best of luck.
