Need your opinion

I'm working at a Belgian gamesite called Gamequarter. We've been
working with our new design for 3 months now, and most of the bugs
should be out of the system right now.

I know most of you guys do not understand a single word in dutch, but
could you please give your opinion on the site design & lay-out.

Thank you, very much.

Until later...

The site loads slowly from Arkansas. Could be on my end, might not be. Has anyone attempted to make a 56k friendly version? I have 1.5 DSL and I am slow how would it be for them.

Then again, how many people from here will actually join the site?

Overall, I like the easy on the eyes color scheme, but the pages look cluttered. Can you not put a few of those links on secondary pages? Are all of them vital to the site on page #1?

Perhaps its just me but it feels cramped like PHL's pages.

I wish I could read it, but I will have to content myself with looking at visuals.

Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

If the design and my comments do not mesh, feel free to discount them totally. :biggrin:

It's a nice looking site, not as rushed with adverts and as colorfull and distracting as most other gaming sites.

But perhaps it's a bit too dull looking with that dark-grey theme...

Anyway, I found the site to be easily accessible. Only thing I noticed
about the menu was that, while on the forums, the Forum button is
replaced by a Home button, which also has a different location. Why?
It's confusing...

Besides, that, the site looks good.

Looks great, but it also looks like every other game site out there.

I know there isn't much you can do to make the site easy to navigate and unique...

CP is right about the color. I would keep the grey theme but add
some natural earth tones, dark green, dark orange/brown, some light
grey and some sand type colors.

Well there you go. The young like the colors less than the old fart.

oh well. Perhaps a version that caters to the geriatric who still play.

VERC comes to mind with it's various different color styles to choose from...

Actually, Snarkpit comes to mind as well when thinking about that...

But that's for registered users only, not really something for a first impression.

Big fan of the gamespy design?

I've seen that layout so many times ... why didn't you choose something more original?

agreed.

@Orph - I'm talking about neutral colors, and earth tones. The kind of colors that even old farts can enjoy!

its well laid out and looks professional. but on a 4mb cable over here in seattle it takes a little while for me as well....

Well, it's a site for dutch-speaking visitors, so our server probably doesn't have the balls for overseas-connections.

Loads up real quick here in the UK.

Looks pretty sweet, easy to navigate, all good IMO :smile:

That's not true. It loads in 4 seconds (maximum) for me and I'm on the West Coast.

Up here in Kanata it loaded right away. I love me country :smile:

looks nice, and i like how a news item is only one (clickable) line to keep a good oversight.

These words are my diaries screaming out loud

Site took 6-10 seconds to load complete page for me here in the states.

I have DSL as well.

There is no history until something happens, then there is.
