Cantr front page

[Greek]

Some my suggestions: (and Wolfsong's ideas)

If you complete it with a half naked man as well, it looks fine. Or remove the girl.

It's a banner, not a Cantr design element.

I see, I didn't realize that.

I like that idea. I think it'd look neater.

I tried to do something about it and made something like that:

Two when page was in semi-finished state.

I think front page info should be SHORT and interesting. More data will be on the other pages and after clicking "register".

Right navigation menu is not ready yet, I'll proceed if you think that template is good idea. We'll have to think about something else otherwise.

The thing about flags: not all languages can be linked with one (in most cases country's) flag. So you think I should select one of the possible flags, bind two images (like US/EN and Portugal/Brazil) or show them as text? There's problem with Zhongwen and Latin, well, I hope nobody from ancient Rome would be annoyed by that SPQR "flag" , but the second one... I know nothing about Zhongwen language. I'm not sure I can use flag of China there.

Hm... I think using just text for the languages is best. I think the flags make it look too cluttered and as you point out, multiple countries will have the same language base.

I like the look of sumthing3.png a lot.

Not sure what I think of the "Click here to join the game" button. I feel like it could use a softening on the edges or something. Or maybe it's the words, perhaps they should be in a slightly smaller font that doesn't reach as close to the edges or say something simpler like "Click here to join!"?

Overall, I do like the layout well.

That would solve my problem of not seeing a maple leaf

I really like the layout, though wondering if the title, CANTR II, shouldn't be a bit bigger?

Oh, and please make a direct link to the wiki in that list of links. I also like the one that says tutorial, but I would want a seperate one for the wiki in general.

I think that Cantr should have its own header image at the top, right where it says "Cantr II" in text. Also, is there a problem with moving the advertising banner elsewhere on the page? Having advertising so prominent on the intro page is bad. It's fine for pages we see after we have registered.

The trees in the background aren't doing anything for me. How about a texture in a complementary color (i.e., not more green)? Even solid black would be an improvement.

[the_antisocial_hermit]

I'd want the page to be mostly green, not just the area with text and the log in. Even if it were a textured color right around the area that faded into green again or something.

It would be nice for the banner to be moved, though.

Having an ad on the front page allows us to get a lot of good statistics from Google, such as Click-through ratio (how many people signed up after coming to the front page) and other things.

Does it have to be top and center? Can't we put ads below the text? Seriously, having the name of another game right next to Cantr's name does not make a good first impression.

[EchoMan]

It's kind of praxis to have an ad at the top of the page, don't you think? We also get a fuw bucks each month from views and clicks on it, so it's a good thing.

I'll start accidentally clicking more often then.
