CSP Website

[sevoii]

:!: IDEA :!:
BioHazzard: The left of the website looks a lil lonely, how about a random piece of media showing on the left of the page? Like a fade in/out effect.

Just an idea. Please don't flame my face.

[MaveN]

am i the only one who don't know what sevoii mean=?

[foxxxooo]

He means that the left side of main page is a bit lonlier(?) than the right side.

I think so.:D

[VIDEN]

Plz stop spamm the forum with unnecessary comments.

Sry dont know what u mean.

[nightvenom]

^^^^Has it.

But what he's trying to say(I think.) Is that the design of the website weights heavily on the right hand side and the objects which fill it. It sort of takes away from the balance of the page, but I didn't notice it that much.

[nightvenom]

Well thats because the left on the main page only exists as apart of the news posts.
This is true.

[wazer]

i found a bug :D or something


http://cspromod.com/images/csp_bg.png

look in left corner u forgot to clean the .png totally theres still some black/blue pixels in uppper left corner :)

[haGisson]

can't find any bug in that .png

Website is fine. But it could use a better banner. Something that catches a persons attention.

Take these guys for example:

http://www.insmod.org/img/logo3.jpg

Nice banner, captures the idea of a war-themed game, and it's clear that name of the game is Insurgency.

I don't know about everyone else, but the little letters on the current csp banner are hard to read, not to mention that it's pretty plain.

[haGisson]

i like the simple look of the current header

[sevoii]

Open up your browser, click the address bar and type http://www.cspromod.com... WOW A WEBSITE! (Nice job btw, bio)

The left of the website (I say website, yes website. Not Forum.) Is a tad dull. I like the clean look, but I don't think they have an Idea's and Suggestions Forum for no reason?

My nick has no meaning, it a combination of retardation and stupidity.

Banners with okes in them like that are way too common nowadays, I like the current one, simple yet classy.

CSPromod.com is designed to be simple (as you can see). Another header with "more" action would destroy that simple look.

[madmax]

there is only one thing that botters me about this site and that is the lack of a real frontpage insteed is the news page :D

[Bocom]

And what would this frontpage have?

[madmax]

And what would this frontpage have?
dont know just something thats nicer then news

a notice "DONT ASK FOR A RELEASEDATE IN THE FORUM (and there will be no new playermodel in csp1.04)"

[downbad]

you mean the lack of news.

that to especily the news telling us the relese date
do not ask for relese dates

Explain to me how this would be true. I don't see how a slightly better banner would "destroy" the simple look.

Here's an example of a "slight" change which looks better and still keeps the nice and simple look.

looks much better how it is at the moment :| If they'd release the damn game then people wouldn't need to nitpick about tiny things that bother them about the website ._.

[element13]

looks much better how it is at the moment :|

You must be fucking blind then.

The little banner right now is good for a small little sponsor advertisement or something, but NOT for a website banner. It small, attracts no attention, and it's boring. Forget about the actual game right now. I'm just talking about the website and only about the website. Everything else about the website is fine, it's just the banner which is missing something.

Paradox you're not alone! I'm blind too.

This is monstrous element13. It don't fit with the simple buttons on the navigation and the search field is suppressed.
I think alba is very experienced for that matter and if it really looked better he had made it like this.

My opinion: that doesn't look good.

[alba]

Wow dude, could you make that a little bit bigger, I can't read what it says. Seriously element, the logo as it is now is fine and clear enough to work. Using your method all the content would be way below the regular eye height (you have to remember both the forum and regular news listing uses this) and the point of the website isn't to have huge banners or uber crazy colors over the place. It's made to be simple and effective. If later down the line I want to change it, I will but right now it's fine.

That was just an example to prove to you that adding more "action" to the banner would NOT "destroy" the website it like you said. I'm not telling you to change anything, I'm just giving you an opinion.

You can EASILY sense more professionalism from this website: http://www.insmod.net and the cspromod website. The Insurgency website is simple, effective, easy to navigate, and in my opinion looks pretty damn nice. I'm not trying to be rude or anything, I'm just being realistic. Showing professionalism plays a big role sometimes. If you guys disagree, oh well.

I'm done arguing with you guys.

I can spend all day nitpicking that site away with unprofessional standards. One of my biggest nitpicks about websites is following standards as much as possible, and that site doesn't even remotely. Anyhow the site as it is now is viewed as very professional by people in the website and gaming industries, as I have shown it to respectable people from both.

All I was trying to do was help. Anyone smart would know that using this "http://cspromod.com/images/csp_logo.png" by itself as a website banner is too plain and boring, especially for a gaming community.

You're stubborn and arguing with you is useless. So go on and continue thinking what you think. I'm not going to waste anymore time with you. Good day sir! 8-)

I find something simple and elegant such as that current logo more visually pleasing than a banner that hulks half of my screen. Huge banners are amateurish, why must we be constantly reminded by a huge image what website we are on, when we already knew before we hit enter on the address bar?

[sevoii]

Wow, my post started a little bit of conflict... I reckon this thread needs a lock without a key.

[sevoii]

element, I think it's your avatar that makes people respond negatively to you, Just my opinion... Your avatar makes me angry.

edit: double post FTL, soz, wasnt thinking.

Element13 is probably just some 13yr old kid who knows nothing about web design and development.


If you don't want people to bring up some ideas and suggestions, then don't have an "Ideas and Suggestions" forum. There's no need to call anyone a "13yr old kid" for simply giving out a suggestion. Damn bro, show some type of professionalism if you're going to be part of the CSP crew.

[nightvenom]

The current banner fits the professionalism of the website in its entirety.
It doesn't take away from the flow of the website.

[Yatta]

If you guys disagree, oh well.

They did disagree, but you keep arguing and insisting that your opinion is better than the opinion of what--5 other people so far? Also, if you don't want to be called a 13 year old kid, then stop acting like a spoiled brat that isn't getting his way. If you look carefully, you'll notice that no one was being rude to you till you started being rude to them.

Now, seriously. Let. It. Go.

[element13]

Now, seriously. Let. It. Go.

I'm sorry if I offended anyone, like is said before, I think the website is great. I just thought a better banner which symbolized a little bit of what csp is about would be "slightly" better and more appealing to people. If you disagree, oh well. Lets just let it go now.

Teh blue white red man with the gun (logo) represents "it's about cs" and the name csPromod says it's a promos so I hoe nooone thinks it's "cybersex pro modificated"
or u want cs1.6 screenshot? It's not csp
css screenshot? It's not csp
csp screenshot? Look @ media section

Sorry for my idiotic respond but I think I should not delete this post.. No offense buddy

I think you need a new monitor bro. That image checks out 100% (and is only 1px wide that repeats horizontally) for each and every pixels color code.[/quote]



Well seen this on 3 monitors now. 2 of my Samsung 2233RZ totally new babys that runs in 1680x1050@120hz on LCD, now pay attention, i said both the newish screens! YES.. And last but not least my LG F900P monitor shows it aswell. Thats +2 to me now.

Your getting bad with the guessing. First i smoke and now i need a new monitor :D?

Dear Biohaz4rd & Alba

I liked the new CSP design so much I decided to use it as inspiration for my own site (http://eugl.eu/) I hope you take it as a compliment :P

Hurry up and release already - I've already got sponsored prizes for a CSPromod cup xD

Waiting for bio to come back I'm doing a little bit of changes and some additions to both the forums & the main website. After this is done you should have a little bit more meat to the frontpage :)

Nice, I'll sign my team up to that site :)
On topic: CS promod site looks clean & professional, no need to change it with a huge logo like element suggested.

I pretty much agree on everything biohazard said, I just don't think it's very professional to call someone a 13 yrs old kid, not even if you're sure he is one. Someone like biohazard should set a better example ;)

I call him a 13yr old kid because he was being a moron, and I have a low tolerance for morons...

Very unprofessional...having low tolerance against morons doesn't mean you have to call him a 13 year old kid. :roll:

I just think it's a better idea in your position to say something like this: "I've made my point, it's obvious that this discussion is getting us nowhere, time to stop arguing". It's better to leave the insulting up to the community :)

[alba]

Bio doesn't have any tact, what can I say. He's not as good at PR as me for example.

















*ahem*

[Chris]

Ahwell, I guess one of the good things about a project like this one is that you can insult the community without having to worry about losing your job :lol:

He's stubborn, it's fine though. It doesn't bother me much if he thinks I'm 13. He's the one that's making himself look bad.

Anyways, the logo in the picture was just an example. Take this for example if you didn't like mine:
http://eugl.eu/

I think it looks really good and still maintains a nice, simple, and clean look. If you think it looks bad, then you're wrong.

I think it's "slightly" better than:

I'll take function over form for $500 Alex.

It is a gaming league. It does not matter how visually stunning the website is as long as the website and league function properly and professionally. You guys got talking about website design and lost track of the reason for building one in the first place. Most gaming Organizations lost track of that a long time ago. Form over Function seems to be the new standard for gaming. At least the ProMod coders and ideals for the Mod have it right. Function over Form.

That would be boring! :P

You're absolutely correct. I'd rather have a website that's easy to navigate on, than a website which has so much crap on it that it's hard to figure out where to go. But that doesn't mean you can't spice up the website a bit without overdoing it.
