Website - What features?!

[28]

Part of the ongoing website development, i thought i'd go straight to the people to use the site.

What would you like to see, or what do you think would be appropriate in terms of content and features on the main site?

The idea at the moment is to make it more dynamic so its not the same old stuff every time you visit (nothing bugs me more). so the front page will feature lastest news/features and lists of the lastest coaching days available and spaces remaining etc...

The usual static information about RacersEdge and Coaching programmes will be on other pages.

any ideas?

[motoxxx]

what about a track listing like on mxtrax,but using the tracks that coaching is available at?that way you could see what track you would benifit most from?

[28]

Thats a good idea....

If paul has a number of set tracks for training, we could do that. Due to the problem at Matchams etc. he's still moving around quite a bit.

[motoxxx]

yea thats the problem i thought of.the orpa track was ideal for training. when i went down,it was just the right size to make it worthwhile. hopefully with him building a reputation as a good trainer/coach, more tracks will be on a list.

[28]

He's got alot of tracks open to him, but some are just crazy money to hire. He definatly doesn't want to pass on those costs to the cutomers, its just too much.

[motoxxx]

totally agree with him.i know of one track he told me about that was very expensive.

[28]

It would be nice to work out some kind of protocol for booking/enquiries . Especially for 1-2-1 coaching sessions.

[Still-MX]

Gee wee, websites!!!! Though it was gonna be easy now I have Golive but I'm more confused than ever :LOL: As for ideas...a good old photo gallery always goes down well ;)

[28]

I could never get along with GoLive, i went quickly back to DW8. Saying that, it does make a good job of css div layouts. But i would recommend using tables and images for layout initially. Using Div's can be a nightmare, case study: my post about internet explorer on this forum.

As for the gallery, i have give this some thought and i'm unsure how to impliment it at the moment. Should it be part of the forum or the main site? or should it feature in both and share the images?

[28]

Any more feedback people! :)

articles? videos? online booking? online payments? flashing things? naked ladies? profiles of students? reports of coaching days?

[Still-MX]

Track Days! :D With hired photographers :)

[28]

If we get enough members over the next year. We'll organise something at a local venue. :)

[28]

Any more than? last chance.....

[63]

if everyone could update the calander with meetings then it would be good. or a seperate calander with races on?

[28]

Thanks, i'll seperate the race calender informaiton from the coaching stuff. And have the calender open to anyone to post dates :)

[63]

top stuff, when do you think this will be up and running

i think profiles of students and reports of training days and how students are progressing would be a good idea put up students' race reslts, that sort of thing

[RacersEdge]

Thanks craig. We are looking at that kind of thing right now. I think it's a good idea too.

[28]

Nice one #24, i'll put that in!

Thanks guys, thats really good. Hopefully i'll keep comming back to you for feedback and thoughts while making the new site. You can never have enough constructive critism.

One more question:

What would you like to see on the homepage (first page) of the website.

I personally hate a pet hate of visiting a site with a pointless first page, and it being something you just skip past to get to what you really want. So what would you like to see? the latest forum thread? the latest coaching dates? the latest offers? latest news? lastest rider profiles? or a combination of any of them?


Thanks again.

[63]

a combination of them, latest news and forum threads and latest offers would be good

[Factory Gaz]

[28]

I would have done myself, but i'm not sure thats the kind of image Paul wants to project.

[RacersEdge]

Right Lewis, Your questionaire will be coming soon, i'll book the studio for the shoot. Clean kit & Clean shaven please.

[motoxxx]

clean shaven :confused: does that also mean i have to get a hair cut:(

[RacersEdge]

No you can just tuck it in!

[28]

I didn't know whether to go with the red shoes or the pink. You said the pink complimented my complexion, but i think they make my ankles look chubby. :eek:

No, i need another photo. But this one is really artistic.... :D
