   Decided to add a welcome screen to my website, tell me what you think?
  After thinking about the feedback I got on my site, I've decided to add a welcome screen which explains what my site is, I'm wondering what other people will think about this welcome screen, I'm worried that it maybe a bit to long also if anyone sees some grammar errors in it please point them out.Please tell me what you think: link
  Yup, it's too long. And also boring. Use less text, a larger font, more pictars and links in it. My attention span   ;Quote:Original post by KonfusiusYup, it's too long. And also boring.

Do I just need to skip the whole part about how it works?   ;Quote:Original post by SteveDeFactoDo I just need to skip the whole part about how it works?Not at all.I'd use a picture (flow diagram), with a nice "Web 2.0" style. It's become pretty common among modern webapps to introduce themselves to the users in such a way.On the other hand, if you want to use much text, chop it up and make it more interesting by using icons, pictures etc. See the home page of github.   ;  It looks like an about page.I'd keep the first paragraph, and add a second paragraph telling the user where they can find more information (link to an about page where you put that massive essay). Then the left over space could be used for a "news" section or a project of the week section etc. Be creative.   ;  I suggest using a sans serif font face, you know, verdana,tahoma,etc, it looks so much better.   ;Quote:Original post by SteveDeFactoAny idea how I can convey the same message but in less text? Do I just need to skip the whole part about how it works?A great example of minimalistic design for an introduction page can be found on the sign-in pages for GMail or Google Apps. Just a couple of short bullet points (with small images that are easy on they eye) and you get what the site is all about. You can bring across your message (and further explain somewhere else) with just a couple of points like so:Quote:Unbound Games is a collaborative community which allows game developers from around the world to work together* Have everyone chip in on a public project or control your game from start to finish with a private project.* Develop your game with the Unbound Game Engine* Sell your game through our store and share in the revenueThen you still have some place to highlight 3 or 4 projects that are doing well below without cluttering the design.Your introduction page is about getting people to click through to the rest of your site - keep it short and sweet. Anything important you can put where the action happens.
