SteamCard.com Feedback

unknownserv · 11-26-2007, 03:19 PM

Hi,
Can I get some feedback on SteamCard.com ?
A Steam Card is basically the same as an XBOX live gamercard, only for VALVe's Steam community.
It can be placed on forums, in signatures etc..

Thanks

Emphasize your logo more and utilize the backdrop to bring the action that Valve/Steam is providing and get that across.
The demo cards need more exposure as well, even though they're shown in the Design section, these cards are the main reason for a user to even stick around on your site. Capitalize on that.
The nav bar could be centered and a little more "attention grabbing" than it is right now. Eventually make it a tad bit bigger.

I'm not sure how you reference whether someone has a Steam ID, i tried to plug mine in and got an error returned that i'm not existing!

Overall, the idea is great, the execution doesn't live up to the spectacle that Valve/Steam provides its users though.

Indeed. I agree about the logo part. It's not too visible, in the form "Get a steam card now" the input fields looks messed up (IE7). The right side of the bar where you put some images in vertical mode, I can't see them right as well.

Maybe you should lighten your footer font a bit, and add a favicon.
Congrats, it just needs little work and it's set. Good luck

Thanks for those suggestions, I'll fix those, need to do the PNG fix for IE6 aswell. BTW, it does have a favicon already

Nice site.

As soon as I visited your site, I got the impression that it was a blog. You need to alter the design a bit to dispell this notion and give your site the sense that it is a web 2.0 application. Place more emphasis on the steamcard generator form and less emphasis on the navigation and news updates. I would move the news to a separate page.

Overall, I like the design you are using. It is very modern and web 2.0, and I like the logo also. The navigation looks a tad out-of place, since everything else is so modern and glossy, but it itself is plain with no textures.

It's a great idea for a site.
