Compared to the rest of the sites, SK-Gaming's design owns.
I have been going around different sites for a while and I noticed a lot of them did makeovers. Now as a web designing enthusiast, I saw that most of the websites have one thing in common. Over jazzified logos and navigation. Or an overdose of colors. Why are most sites so hell bent on taking on such unnecessary decoration when really Content is king ?The biggest disaster is Mymym. Besides that confusing URL which always make you recheck 10 times, the front page loading is an eye sore. When you load the page, the first thing that should stand out of course is your identity. This should include colors, white spacing and of course easy navigation. The thing with mymym is that their content is overclustered (i'm not debating the quality, there's a lot to read in that), I'm just upset that while improving content structure and a very good backend coded site, they totally messed up the front page. And the worst part is they think that's the best :./.Gosugamers is a site that deals only with Starcraft, Warcraft and Dota (....), however the important thing to note is the eye catching pictures centered in the page. You don't see that much often in other pages with their trillion ideas. The navigation is easy, the sections are unique and independent and the links aren't too hard to fathom what the site would show. That's a good design there.WCReplays.com, is the simplest of them all. A site where focus is very specific, navigation very easy and forums being the easiest to use. The site's content is of course not on par with others due to the sheer volume boasted by the others, but what they do stress on is the simplicity in navigation.This brings me to what I think is the best site both front end and backend. SK-Gaming. bds clearly hit jackpot with his updated design. With easy navigation, a good web 2.0 outlook and a bright reshaped logo. One cannot help but admire the design that leads the user to easily navigate around. No corny pictures for the forums, no sex selling pictures to rope in publicity and most of all Clean white space.Great job guys, keep it up.
