 A few months on from our launch, GoodWebPractices.com
has come quite a long way. Last week we had over 2,300 visitors, we
already have a page rank of 5 and most importantly we have been
generating a steady stream of business leads.
As we all know, it's good to regularly evaluate how well a website is performing and what can be done to improve it...
We have decided it's time to change the layout of our frontpage and we would love to have your input as to what we should do.
What we would like our frontpage to do
-
As soon as you come to GoodWebPractices.com we would like to communicate who we are and what we do.
- Show the introductions to our latest articles.
- Show the latest blog comments and the most popular posts.
Whats wrong with our current homepage
- It's way too long.
-
Our latest articles are below the fold.
-
There is no key information about who we are and what we do.
-
It doesn't look very special.
An extension we're considering using
Having tried lots of content sliders, PraiseSlides
from JoomlaPraise
seems to one of the best ways to display a number of our latest
articles in a small space. We are considering using it when we redesign the frontpage.
What do you think?
With all this in mind, we have been experimenting to try to come up with a new frontpage to really serve you, our users better. You can take a a look at a screenshot of the new frontpage here (click the image to enlarge):
If you are a member of Good Web Practices, you can preview the new frontpage live by clicking on the link in the main menu entitled "New Frontpage". If you're not a member, why not sign up? It's completely free!
We would love to have your feedback on this. We really want to involve people in the development of Good Web Practices, as we aim to run it as a community site... So it's over to you now. What do you think we should be communicating on our homepage, and how we should do it?
