[Habbox] Web Design Discussion!

[Joe]

I'd really like one of the two things:

• A pop out radio player - I used to have habboxlive.com opened all the time so I could still view the site without the entire thing cutting out
• Or a Chrome app

I'd love a radio that doesn't reload every time you go on a new page!!! We do have the chrome plugin I think @Chippiewill; made but I tend to listen on TuneIn to do that!

no wonder v7 took ages people want features instead of aesthetics

Maybe that's a hint that many people don't have a problem with the design, it's the way it functions and it's features.

I personally would just like to see some more colour on the main site and definitely either some forum integration or just not have two separate profiles completely.

Basically, the first response of yours to this thread was pretty much perfect.

I've listed the points I agree with most! @David;

What it needs:

• Color. Less black/dark and more color.
• To be released with a logo.
• Radio controls, stats and requests in the same place - not scattered across the site.
• A better table to show events and forum posts. The current one is just ugly as hell and who wants to look at it, honestly? have icons and stuff for it like the other fansites.
• Compact Articles. List them with a small preview and the relevant information, because 5 articles per page isn't very good imo.
• A Featured article at the top.
• A custom background, not an old habbo home image.
• A better designed twitter box, not a wall of text.
• Better forum and wiki advertisement.
• A well placed navigation, the v7 one looks like it was tossed in last minute.

What it doesn't need:

• Separate account from the forum
• 4 years of development
• A black outline on everything
• There's too many sub nav's, surely you can drop most of them. Keep it simple.

If a site looks good, you're going to stick around and see what functions it has. If it looks ugly you're just going to go to the next site, regardless of how fabulous its features may be. The design is definitely something that needs addressing, at the moment it kind of does look modern but it lacks something. Other sites look sleek and tight, it doesn't need much to really pull it together. Once you've done that, then work on the main features.
