Can we borrow a moment of your thought?
We are contemplating a change for Asylum-ET that would be a drastic one. We are thinking that the main page of the site is really just overwhelming with all the links and clutter everywhere.
We are looking for opinions on this and any ideas that you may have as to what would make Asylum-ET easier for you to find what you came for. Our thought is the main page will be a series of image buttons such as forum blog events bands nightlife shop and so on and then a brief description of what each contains will appear when an image is hovered over.
The only issue with that though is it would most definitely require javascript or at least stylesheets to be enabled unless it were done in flash which we would prefer not to use. Javascript and css are incorporated into most browsers used today and typically are enabled by default whereas flash requires downloading and installing 3rd party software before being able to view the site if it isn’t already installed and that is just not acceptable to us.
We do believe flash has it’s place just not on our main page. Most likely we will not use javascript for the main page either and if we do we will alert the viewer that it should be enabled to view the site properly. In any event though we appreciate viewer response so we can make your visit a more pleasurable one.
