I have plans to update the job agency, so I'll keep an eye on this board to see what you guys suggest!
The front page in general makes me cringe a bit and that's what I really want to start with updating. Since updated the job agency a year or so ago, we've had a lot of changes on site we can use to make the page a lot better looking.
Would you guys like to see some space between each pet (right now they are in a table or div acting like one)? Maybe more distinction between each section? What else would you guys like to see in the employment status box? I feel like that could have a lot more information listed. I want you guys to actually enjoy visiting the page, instead of hating it when you go to collect pet income.
Seriously any suggestions you guys have, post! Comment/build upon other peoples ideas! :) :)
[edit] - Those are great points, for navigation.
- I’m not sure how well a drop down menu would work for the front page. I think adding those things to the front page under the employ status would be nice, but still have the link to the actual page for those who want to be able to see all the things like job history and job listings?
I think while I play around with this (I'm hoping to start this on Friday?), I’m going to ping you guys to have you look at my dev for the job agency page so we can all discuss changes and what not. :) Just so I can get some live feedback. :D
My idea right now is to take them out of the table, or at least not show that border. I would like to double it up, like two pets as you go down if it doesn't end up looking horrible! I'd like to take advantage of headers and different font sizes etc for the different things. Like the section where it has your pet name, I feel like that could easily be above the job infomation or below/above the pet image, and that can take out a whole chunk of space.
That's what I was thinking, as far as looks! I was thinking pet image with pet name, obviously, with to the right have something like:
JOB TITLE at INDUSTRY HERE
started on
makin’ $$$ a day — COLLECT
maybe have requirements until they can be promoted again here
it will also be a lot more professional then that
That would be good information on the second page (where it shows job history, collect, etc). I def will see if I can figure out how to let a person know YOU ARE AT THE TOP OF YOUR CAREER CONGRATS so you won't have wonder if you have to keep promoting
