Hi guys,
Darkliner has come up with a good idea to develop an intro page that is graphically appealing and draws people into the site.
The intro page should contain no more than a banner mission statement and hyper text links to other PA pages on our site. This allows for the page to come up quickly and draws attention to our PA insted of to special features such as a galaxies connection.
meaning that browsers are forced to be drawn further into the site if they wish to get more info. This means that they are receving a larger amount of info in shorter time and are more likely join us.
Thanks to darkliner for these suggestions.
Darkliner, if you can point us to any current examples out there I might get a better feel for what you mean.
Or if you want to create and present such a page that would be great as well.
tael.

Darkliner,
can you show me any examples of what you mean by an intro page? Ive seen lots of flash anims for intros but they aren't interactive like what I think you mean.
regards, tael.

But in terms of what the banner should look like
..try and convey the feeling of a sun bringing light to where all was darkness before. Ive tried to combine this feeling with the rebel alliance logo but it didnt work.
If you want the banner to say anything, make sure it says 'Bringers of the Dawn' and not just BotD.
It could also have 'The Rebel Alliance' in there as well, but the rebel logo without text 'The Rebel Alliance' is preferable.
Once Ive finished the 'About Us' text Ill have a mission statement for you!
tael.

howabout making the (what you call intro) like the starting of a Starwars Movie and just replace the story with mission statements.
i tried making something like this before in Flash but it didn't really work out. maybe someone else with the proper Flash skills can manage that.

I think that all of this sounds pretty good... also I think that the "intro" page should be something like an animation or something conveying our Ideas.. then after that is done.. it like brings up our logo. and they are asked to proceed to the "Home Page". Now I would try do this... but I have no skills what so ever in Flash.. Just we you all decide on a it and make it.. Just send it to me and I will put it in...

Nadien thanks for your input. I can use a scrolling text code to inabel the wording to scroll up giving it that S.W. opening feeling. Something like a back story about the group such as us being the last people left from the imp Yavin IV assult after the deathstar assult might give us a littel more edge. Below that I can post the mission statement this could work.

darkliner, feel free to make up this sort of story for the scrolly text, but not too long. Ive seen some star wars intros with the star wars scroll text and they go on forever! Max scrolly text time about 20 seconds, IMHO. These guys have a nice intro logo www.thecrescentorder.com/& www.swg-guild.com/darkliner: do you want to work on the intro logo as well as the scrolly text? tael. |
