Are you a game development company, clan, guild, or someone else in the gaming community that is considering having a new website or marketing plan put together? You may find these tips helpful. Want additional tips and info? Feel free to reach out to us. Our consultants are here to help.
1. Be Mobile Friendly
Make sure your new website works great on smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices. Often times the game studios we talk to are mobile development companies as it is; naturally the website that represents the game needs to be mobile ready! With more and more people unplugging these days, just be sure your video game website will work correctly on these device types.
2. Take Time Putting Together Good Content
Content, above all else, will dictate how good the website looks. Make sure you use high quality screen shots, photos, and well written text to help carry your website. It is likely the most important then in ensuring your site looks great.
3. Don't Go too Crazy with the Design
If you have some original ideas for the sites layout and design that is great but we encourage you to not think too far outside of the box. If a user visits your website and has no idea where to go or if your website makes you feel like you're dancing on the surface of the sun, you've probably gone too far. Keep the design simple when you can and lead the users to the most important items on your site. A great website typically has a great UI plan.
4. Piggyback on Pre-Existing Software to Keep Costs Lower
If budget is a concern of yours, try not to ask for too many things when it comes to functionality. The more stuff that can be recycled, the better, in terms of keeping costs low. While every video game website design solution we develop is custom, we often utilize pre-built open source functionality such as forum software to help you get the features you need without breaking the bank.
5. Check Out Other Gaming Websites
There is no better place to get motivation than from competitor sites. Design examples on our site as well as some casual browsing online can help you come up with ideas for both design and functionality.
