Hi friend!
I honestly kind of liked the feedback setup that Kami. She inspired me to set up my own so I do things just a little differently. This is all constructive, honest feedback to provide help where help is needed. I really wanted to give feedback because I really liked the design of the website and I was excited to provide feedback.
First Impressions: LOVED the story idea! Then again I am a little biased because I love ideas that are like Earth One. It kind of reminds me of my website honestly, but not at the same time. Earth One is a little different than The Forgotten Universe, but I even considered joining it (which I still might do honestly). So excellent on the story work!
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Content: I always advise people to place the General category first on the website because it opens everything up to the guests and the members as well. However, the flow with Earth One is a little different. Though here is how I would organize it:
1) General Category (I also advise people to have fun with Titles! There is so much that you can do with the freedom of Proboards. Don't forget to have fun with it! You can name the "General" category something like: "Docking Station", "Welcome Wagon", or "Shuttle Bay". There are so many options!
I always also encourage website designers not to put "Rules and Announcements" as the first board. It is a little unfriendly. The "Welcome and Departure" board is the perfect board to switch its place. The "Welcome and Departure" sets the mood for the entire website.
A. Welcome and Departure
B. Chat Time (I think that it would beneficial to include this in the top category and combine the two discussion boards into one to prevent clutter).
Sub-Boards: Chat (I always encourage website designers not to put General in the name of General Chat if it is in the General category. It produces unnecessary redundancy and is a little weird to see honestly) , Role Play Discussion, ect. Anything to do with chat should be combined into one board because you can create sub-boards to save more space.
C. Rules and Announcements
D. Help Board
E. Affiliates
F. Archives
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2) Character Creation Category
A. The Story Thus Far
B. Earth One Characters
C. All Other Characters
D. Characters' Stories
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Graphics: The website itself is beautiful. I love the background! Don't change thing about that (unless you want to of course!). However, I do agree that the black background with the dark text makes it a little hard to read. Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of the Earth One text on the banner at the top of the page.
Advertisement Ideas: There's many Facebook groups, story sites, and bookstores (that can be helpful if you develop a business card)/
Last Few Notes: I'm not saying that you have to implement my ideas in any way (since I am not an expert). I am just giving some honest feedback. I hope you liked the feedback and I wish you all the success in the world! I loved the website and I hope you have an awesome day!
