How do we all like the new front page header?

4 Mar 2010

Any ideas for different ways to "sexy up" the front page, other than changing the header again?

We have the header, and people's avatars, is that enough as it is? Make the avatars larger?

In my opinion Nicola the header is just a tiny bit small.. I know it’s suppose to tease but I don’t think it gives enough to spark your imagination, that’s just me though… and as for the AV’s those could be a little larger just to help sexy up the place.

Why wouldn't you just go to the front page and look up?!!! The image is below.

Thanks Mara. Any bigger it starts to take up more space. I think the larger avatars would help too.

The first one is the one on the site, the second is a bit larger - you'd like more? I can send you the original image if you like:

I could include more, but it distorts the image significantly:

I think the second is a lot better, the first (original) is a bit small.

Personally I don’t like this one, I prefer to guess what she looks like, plus she looks a bit out of shape, literally. LOL

I like it just the way it is, just enough sexy.

For more sexy, How about changing the default avatars to something more sexy?

The default avatars are simple for a reason, it was meant to encourage users to actually want to go and change them for something else, something original hopefully, to show their own creativity a little. They are rather garish though, I have to admit!

Why not make it compulsory for Authors to pick one of the Av's that lush supplies. IMHO stories with sexy avatars get more votes and views in general.

I never thought of that, good idea. It might irritate people though, being forced to do something as part of the signup process.

I'm with Head on this one the second one shows enough so that it's classy sexy instead of making you look twice to figure out if your computer is acting up...

I like the second one better too, it doesn't look so distorted. The other might be too big though. I'll ask Gav to put it up and see how it looks, when he gets a chance.

Hi Nic, I Like the new header. It's got good visual interest.

I prefer this image too, just a bit taller to give a little more, doesn't look distorted. (makes things look bigger too)

I'm thinking that if you could put even a small border around it or thin red line at the top, it will finish the header nicely. My fisrt thought was that something was hanging above the top.

It's a very nice addition any way you do it.

Thanks Playmale, it does look a bit tidier with the red above the image.

I like the new header, very sexy.. but i just wondering though how much you wanted to change the image of the front page to sexy it up.. there are a thousand ways but its more like a revamping and would be fairly time consuming I'd wager, things like font changes, colour schemes.. and the addition of the av's is nice but so much when the member just has no pic for an avatar..

I think you should let Shameless pick the header...in fact, let him design the whole front page...you'll get a heck of a lot more views...
Take my word on this, he may be nuts...but he finds great pictures...
