Thanks Roger for getting this up so fast! This will certainly help speed up development on the website. I guess its only natural that the first thread be for all of us to colaborate on the website build. So lets use this for that. :D

I'm going to go ahead and repost my sample content suggestions so we can discuss or elaborate upon them:

* Team info: who we are, what we're about, the nature of our squadrons

* Roster: with callsigns, locations, names and jobs (similar to the list BG already threw together)

* New recruits: how to join the DD or the HH

* Player submissions: Aircraft Skins, Icons, Player Skins, Joystick Configurations, Missions & Campaigns

* Links: Other clans we've played with, community links etc

* Forums

* Henpeck Area - as BG suggested

Hi.

I have split the post containing our email addresses, and put it in the 'ready room' for now.

As this room requires an account here and controlled group membership it will be safe from prying eyes there :)

Please keep this up to date, could be handy during one of Quazi's formatting frenzies :lol:

OK.

Work will commence on the site this weekend.

Some input on the aesthetics would be greatly appreciated.

My thoughts so far:

As the site is for both the DDs and the HHs we will have a common home page, this in turn will link to the sections suggested by Sloan.

Now for the home page design, visually we could have one large and central image. Perhaps this could be a shot of a couple of warbirds with a generic (or not) group of flyers in front of it, sepia toned.

The group of flyers could, of course, be caricatures of humans or dogs.

Perhaps if all could provide a photo of themselves (or virtual selves even)

There will be smaller iconic graphics below the main graphic that are links to sections within the main site.

A menu bar will be above.

For the squad info/squad specific portion of the site the above iconic links will link staright to the relevant squad.

We can use the Hell Hounds logo for their section, but need to think about the Danger Dogz logo here.

Rosters will be under each squad section.

I think we will perhaps need split recruiting sections.

Can someone from each squad provide some text on the squads mission statement please?

Skins, missions and other squad member submissions will be a dual squad section.

Now for you guys to give us some input :)

Cold_Gambler might be a good guy to write the mission statement for the DD's. I'll send him an email now.

Oh, great. We'll get a 400 page tome full of incomprehensible legaleeze. :P

Hi

great ideas about the site-

I would like a diary section so that squad members can see when squad nights and times are on and also if someone wants to arrainge training or practice they could post there and others could see what and who is available.

I have a shot of spitfire at an air museum so if you wish to use this as background then you could photoshop others into group in front

106_0611.jpg

or here is me in front already

ddmuseum.jpg

I can send origonals if required

Or we could use a screenshot from the game as background

I like idea of link to each persons details

the link to application page and mission statement should be easily found on main page to allow people who may be interested in joining to get this info quickly and easily

Ill follow this up with more later

Keep the ideas coming in.

A diary section is a good idea, perhaps it should link or be fed from a diary/ready room section on the forum?

Missions, Skins and of course tracks is a great idea!

The temporary page I have now put up includes a concept 'Shots of the Week'. This of course can feature screenies from said traks B)

Nice spitfire shot Dave, let's get as many pictures as possible. I want to struggle to choose ;)

Any one got some screenshots I can use?

Plus any other artwork that may be suitable.

I'm champing at the bit here, but don't really have time to grab screenies of my own :(
