Website Redesign

High level redesign ideas

• Relevant information first level - On a page show the important information and link to further details or use tabs.
• Use images - People gravitate towards images so theme sections of information with images. For example on the discussions page the section headings could have cartoon characters sketching out ideas or sitting at a computer typing.

Tasks

• [Eric] Style events page
• Add comments module to every design and technical discussion archive by copying the following code.

++ Comments

[[module Comments hideForm="true"]]

• [Perry]Use live templates as shortcut for adding comments module to every page.

• Find/add design and technical minutes that are not on the website.
• Create wikidot templates for discussions, projects and member profiles
  • If the redesign of design discussions includes a "summary" at the top, go to all the previous ones and attempt to write one for each of them.

• [Perry] Create wikidot template for member profile and provide clear instructions so members find it easy to add one
  • Proposed profile template
• [Perry] Redesign Members page
  • Not sure what can be done but it would be great if it could be streamlined. I think it is still a good idea to have all members listed on a single page rather than use tabs. — Eric
• Redesign about page
  • History, Constitution, Contact merged into one page?
• Add club logo to the top of the page
  • The logo needs to be redesigned to include the full text "SFU Game Developers Club." Samantha is probably doing this.
• Redesign Discussions page
  • Make it more eye catching with images
  • Re-word descriptions of discussions if necessary
• Proper archieve page for development discussions.
• Redesign Resources page
