Would you like to see a complete CreedFeed site redesign, or just a modification of the current template (change colors, make it bigger/wider, etc.)?

Please post thoughts here.

alrighty :) steve, i kinda like still so into the warm tones, i dont know if you can recall, but we use to have a little thing at the bottom of the screen, where you could like change the color, to where you wanted, to please everyone, i think that would be perfect the guys like the black and i like this one, and lets see, there need to be some updates that are like to old that needs to be placed in the archives, and just recent updates of the guys, AB And Creed, And Also steve, the pm boxes, can we get that fixed where we can have more texting space like a major plus for me, and could we like thrown in a sparkly gutiar icon wit flames, a lit baby gibson, :) steve your the best man, :rockon: peace be with us in all things in jesus name...:crest: :note: :crest: :rainbow:

I'd like to see a complete redesign. Right now it looks like a site from the 90's. With ABB and Creedworld looking so sweet, we got to keep up. I think Jared has great ideas for what he want's the site to look like and I support him.

My idea for a redesign would be to allow images, gifs and all on the forums. A section for creed videos and images. More detailed profiles like blogs. Functionality with facebook and twitter. A color scheme that consists of maybe some light red, black and silver. Maybe some graphics on the page that are similar to the design the Greatest hits album had.

I would also like to see some updates for the sites features. This is something I'd like to be involved with. Like a consistent update of news on the front page, an update on the bands bio, updated lyrics, etc. I think if the fans that come to this site had some accessibility to update these things they would not get stuck in the past. Maybe not all the members should be allowed to change these things, maybe only the most loyal and dedicated.

I'd really like this place to turn into the no.1 place for Creed news and discussion.

Maybe some new moderators if we get more users like we currently have been getting.

I am not sure if I like the idea of a complete makeover. A lot of folks here sometimes do stay away for a while, for some reasons, but a good thing is that they always come back and its a good feeling finding this site in its original way... the familiarity and all the thing. On the other hand, the new crowd may find the out look of this site a little dated.


I would say, lets keep the color theme intact, and upgrade the rest.

Very, very good point.
Every time I type the address into the URL bar, I have this funny feeling something's going to be different (or the board won't be here at all)... it's a relief to see that not everything has to have a new version up every five weeks.

However, when it comes to functionality and the constantly-evolving nature of forum technology and the Internet in general, CF could definitely benefit from an upgrade. If there's a way to keep the colour scheme and/or the major elements of the layout intact while still upgrading the board for the changing times, then I don't see any reason not to go forward with it.

Yeah, I just think it needs a modern look and different info. I think you should stay away from using Full Circle artwork though. It's too dark and a little depressing. Besides then you would have to change it with the next album. I wish the main site was a little more interactive aswell.

Yeah I went with a complete redesign... it might take awhile but it would be worth it ;) no offense but everything is outdated (including the design) you could most likely keep the board and do more with it... like turning the img/vid embed codes on etc. but the main site needs a huge facelift.

Re: Site Updates Poll - Design Thoughts?
 
Personally I like CF as it is but since other sites have been upgrading maybe it wouldn't hurt to do a complete redesign on it.

In fact, Passion Breeds Followers added User Groups, Photos and Visitor Messaging within the last year or so (or was it before that?? I can't remember when Julie added them!!). They kept the same color scheme to make sure that everyone still recognized the site. A new picture from the Delray concert was put up and I think PBF looks great. :cool:

I was a member of a vBulletin site that has blogs but that feature does use up a LOT of server space, even with a site that has less than 100 members in it. In fact, at the time, we members were asked to only post no more than 10 blogs and most of us followed that rule to the letter. We'd post a new blog and take our oldest one down... We'd then either post it in our blog elsewhere or just save it on our computers for reference.

Templates are a great idea, maybe use the brown that we have here now as the default and add something like a "Creed Logo Theme" and maybe an "Alter Bridge" or "Scott Stapp" theme for people to choose from? We're all fans of of the guys of Creed so maybe even have a Tremonti, a Flip Phillips and a Brian Marshall theme in there somewhere too?

Heck we could have a design contest and have the winner featured as one of the templates. One of my sites does that every single year and the designs are absolutely beautiful. :D

I know vBulletin also has the option of allowing members to customize their profiles if a site allows it. That is a nice feature and I really like it on my largest site, I have a customized profile in there and I've had a lot of compliments on my design. :)

I know some sites have "subscribed" members who pay X number of dollars a month for a lot of extras... More Private messaging space, their own e-mail from the site, a blog, extra photos, larger avatars, and just a ton of other goodies.

I'm just tossing ideas out there of course. I'll be happy with whatever our mods and administrator decide!! ;)
