SluSignGuy Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 It has been over two years since Billikens.com has gotten a revamp. I am trying to think of ideas to improve the site, but I actually really like the layout I have now. But I created a mockup of a potentially different design. Not sure if I love the hardwood floor at the top, but it is a little bit of a hat tip to the original Nark site. Please give thoughts, criticisms, and suggestions.

TheA_Bomb Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 I haven't really thought about it until you said something. The only issue with the front page is that it has a lot of wasted space on the side margins. Not a big deal but you asked and that is about all I could think of that could use a revamp. New layout looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slu72 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 New Layout. but it needs Chaifetz arena image in there. Or a background picture of the Blue Crew with those blue foam sticks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MB73 Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Possibly list more than the latest five topics... ten at least, maybe more. Some good threads get bumped off the list by some irrelevant and / or even OT new topics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NH Posted July 4, 2010 Share Posted July 4, 2010 Possibly list more than the latest five topics... ten at least, maybe more. Some good threads get bumped off the list by some irrelevant and / or even OT new topics. Nope. Keep it the way it is. If people cant figure out how to get to the message board and see all the threads then Im not sure how much they can actually contribute to the conversations.

Bills71 Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Like the addition of color. Would like less dead space if possible, either more info or larger size and less blank, Maybe a Current Stat: (ie 23-13) for the year on top of the Sched/Results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Can you use the SLU athletic lettering instead of what you currently have? If so, that would look really cook with the new layout you have. Great job!

SLUSAE Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 For the Billikens.com part? (I always liked the Cooperplate font I used). Do you know what the SLU font is? The SLU athletic font is what you see on the arena floor. On one end it reads "Saint Louis" and the other "Billikens." Here is an example from the SLU athletics website: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLUSAE Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 And yeah, I meant for the Billikens.com part. I like the cooperplate you use everywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
