Website - What do you want?

Hi All,

We are looking to re-design the website shortly and would like to ask our fellow members what in particular they would like to see (or not - if that is the case!).

Please let us know your thoughts - good or bad, and we will see what we can do!

Please respond by replying to this message thread,

Thanks again,
Dave

Hi Dave, maybe we could make the background brighter - like the home page.

No problem (I think).

See what I can do.

What other sort of information would you like to see?

Regards,
Dave

Re: Website - What do you want?

Hi Dave,

Maybe an information section for newbies. A first step stop for them to get ideas about where to start looking & what other sites are helpful. Also tips on record keeping.

Re: Website - What do you want?

Yep thats a good idea - especially as we have:
Genealogy FAQ

New to Family History

Maybe that section is not clear enough - so we will look to expand this and make it more prominent.

We did have a section on Record Keeping - but it got mislaid unfortunately. We will see if we can add that somewhere.

Thanks Peta
Regards,
Dave

Re: Website - What do you want?

Hi Dave,

I would suggest that the:
Genealogy FAQ
New to Family History
Is highlighted or shown better in the menu possibly!

I know most people in this genealogy game are looking for names - and when they do not find their particular name they move on! But we all know it is not just about collecting names:
We need to build a good community here (like this forum! - to keep people coming back!) - helping anyone and everyone.
We need to give them information on how, what and where - such as links to sites of interest (I know there is a lot of links here and that there is a Genealogy Directory but again not many people are adding links to their sites or favourite sites! (maybe people are lazy )
The Wanted Names is great, I regularly check and have found a few contacts - thanks

I like coming back here to this site as most other sites are sell, sell, cost, cost, money, money

Sorry, just my "two peneth" (thoughts) on the site.
Cheers

Re: Website - What do you want?

Thanks izabel and dawnlea,

Funny thing was I accidently deleted the some of the forum files . I then quickly uploaded the newest version of the forum. I then added the old theme, which because the forum is a newer version the theme broke the site!
So I quickly uploaded a bog standard one then came up with this. I still have a lot of things to change - some images etc..

After your comments I may keep this one! Maybe I will put it to a vote/poll?

Thanks again,
Dave
