What sections should we have?
My ideas so far:
- Landing page: Title page with some screenshots of the game, like a quick "here is the game!" type page.
- News: Micro-blog like posts with newest developments.
- Project: An overview of the project, with links to all the different things we work on, and team members with roles.
- Mods: Information about the current mods being developed, with setting, images, game rules and things like that.
- Contact: Email us for feature requests, reporting bugs, information requests and such.
Where should the menu be?
- Header: Seems like the most common website layout is to have links at the top in the header. This is good for a website with only a few links with sub-links. It also allows for a nice looking header with a large logo and such.
- Left side: This is somewhat common and the advantage is that it leaves room for a lot more links. A good example of this practice is the W3Schools website. http://www.w3schools.com/js/
- Right side: This is more often used for dynamic content/feeds (like hot questions on Stack Exchange) but not often used for primary links.
What alignment should we use for page content?
Left-justify:
It's most common to left-justify content on the web, letter-style.
It's simple to use but can look weird if page-centered content is displayed.
Center-justify:
This style lends itself better to websites with less text
and more media, like photo blogs.
Right-justify:
This is practically never used for English website text content,
except for numbers in tables and such.
