Choose the AGS Website of the future!

• I think Klaus has the best overall structure.  The navigation seems to be both flexible and intuitive.    
  
  
• I like Loomis' color scheme.  It matches the forum's color scheme.  His banner is pretty cool as well.  
  
  
• I like the Darth-B headline "What is AG?" and his banner.  Both are really cool.

All are good, although my favourites are Darth's (B) and loominus's. Both are 'friendly' and very "readable", and also match with the 'AGS style'.
Can we vote on 2?

[Stickieee]

Darth Mandrab's version A is absolutely the best one, look-wise and use-wise. Klaus's iframes are annoying.

[Timosity]

Darth's 1st one, I was impressed by the look of it, and it's not too over the top, I feel the others are good in design layout, but a little faccid.

[Nacho]

Bufff... It is very difficult to choose... I think I'd go for Darth's (A) but the clean design of the bluecup by loominous looks great, and seems like the "old true colour photo of the blue cup" has turned into a nice and professional logo.

I think it is impossible to choose without feeling a little pain in the hearth, missing something of the designs of the "non-choosed"....

Can we vote parts?

[remixor]

Darth A for me.

[Esseb]

Darth A or Loominous.

[Ryukage]

Hmm... #4 is obviously designed simply to match the forums, which aren't that great themselves.

#3 and #5 look suspiciously like the AGAST website.

#2 looks like a site I would buy webhosting from, not where I'd download a freeware video game engine.

So I vote for #1, even though it too looks somehow familiar.  Can't think where I might have seen one like it, though.

Also, to join the mix'n'match crowd, I like the top banners from #3 and #5 better than the others.

Guess I should check the C&A forum once in awhile, I would have entered this myself if I knew it was going on.

Hmmm. There's no denying that AGS is growing. To be honest, and to be bastardy too -

Fuggit, don't worry.

[Minimi]

I vote for Darth Mandarb A, because if I would be someone new to AGS, it would give me the best image of what to expect.

[Krynge]

I'd go with Darth B (1st pref) or Darth A (2nd pref) because I think to new users, a page with a simple layout would be most appealing.   Klaus' work is defenitely the most professional looking design, but I think it looks too much like a commercial site, (MSN style etc.), and may be a little off-putting to the new user. Also the photo-style graphics don't really correspond with the style most AGSers make their games with (ie. hand coloured/MSpainted graphics are usually implemented for a cartoony style).

Anyone catch my drift??

[Dorcan]

I simply don't like the actual AGS website structure, too much confusing, and it's difficult to find what we're looking for (like the plugins page for exemple, had an hard time finding it)

I say, Klaus' design without the CJ banner, and with Loominous' color theme, banner and graphics (which means replacing Klaus' photos with more cartoony buttons)

[Rincewind]

Darth A - I've liked that one from the first time I saw it.

[SSH]

I would be happy with Darth' s Klaus's or Loominous's but ulimately, as long as the difficulty in finding things that Dorcan mentions is gone, I don't care about the style. Maybe a site map page that links to every page on the site would be good!

[Barcik]

I go with 5.

[Lazy Z]

+1 for loominus

[Czar]

As it is obvious, Klaus' gives us the coldness and business look, while the other gives us simplicity that we are all USED to. So I'm saying that having Klauses would change things in a different feeling. It doesnt have the same layout (games, links etc.), but it gives us something NEW.
[ I forgot to say that Klaus chose great pictures, that maybe to someone it means more than just pictures   ]
Lets say Scummbuddy's. (i think) He tried to make a feeling we are all used to and feel like home when we see it, the forum kind of layout. Tho I think his font is too big, I think the idea is still good.

As I'm looking for something warm, I'll choose... oh man, i really can't decide. I like Klauses news, and stuff and I like other peoples games part.... Really tough.
So I wont vote. 8)

If I may notice, I see that all of you makers chose (blindly   ) the blue color, as if you were trying to say something... I know the page now is yellowish (is it? ).

And now, did I made any sense up there?

[Joseph DiPerla]

My first vote is Darth A and then Darth B

[Vel]

Darth A

As more and more magazines are finding out about AGS and we ARE getting more members, I think AGS could do with the revamped looked Klaus gives.

There's a section to the games, the community and it is in a refreshing style.

It's not that I don't like the other styles, or the current styles, I guess it's up to CJ as to how we wants to promote AGS to the world.

I still hear more talk of AGS elsewhere than other engines, like AGAST or SLUDGE so I don't think there's any harm in the site turning a little more professional looking.
