Hey guys and gals,

Take a look at http://www.240sxconvertible.com

We haven't really updated our portal website for a little while. I'd like to do that sometime in the near future. I'd really appreciate some ideas from you guys.

Anything you'd like to see on that page? Any crituque's or complaints? Any fantastic new ideas?

Here are a few my ideas... 1.) Gallery of 'verts. Divided into 2 sections. A.) members of this site. I'd like to allow everyone to submit 1 photo of their car... I'd be really cool to have a page that shows all of our cars with a picture, the member's screen name, and the state you live in. B.) Collected photo from non-members. There are a ton of cool pics floating around on a few different threads... body kits, conversions, wild paint jobs, etc.. I just think it would be neat to have a single gallary page to display some fine 'verts. (BTW.. clean stock verts are just as impressive as modded ones.. so don't think you have to have a body kit and fancy wheels to get your picture up).

2.) Direct link to the 240sx articles section.

3.) Different color scheme...

4.) I'd like to display the logo that we/fabulous graphix put together on the site. I really think it's cool!

any other ideas?? I'd sure appreciate the brainstorming and feedback!

Thanks!Seth (Eikon)

Great idea Seth. First off I love the idea for a vert specific gallery. For the color scheme...it would be pretty cool if it was sporting the Nismo colors/design scheme. For the home page...I noticed how Greg's vert is on it. Well that pic is nice...but maybe an updated pic of it would be great. The logo could be placed on the top or bottom and you can click on it to enter to get to the vert specific articles. On the right...instead of having the recent topics there....you can put the links to the stickies instead or really important threads that are a must for newcomers. That's about all I can think of right now...if I have anymore ideas I'll let you know.

Oh yea...I would also say keep it nice and simple...like this for example:

You've reached the largest and most comprehensive resource for 240sx convertible owners on the 'net! The web's only online resource for 240 convertible owners including the most active 240sx classifieds around. Browse our informative online forum, engine forums, Online Mechanic section, and shop from over 40 advertisers offering exclusive discounts to members!

That's kinda long. I would shorten it down to this:

i think the suggestions so far are great. DEFINATELY needs a new color scheme and to incorporate our logo at the top instead of that goofy font that's there. i also like the galleries idea and the idea of having stickies instead of recent topics.

We may include some links to stickies... but the recent topics need to stay up there. I'm no expert on this, but I think I remember Greg (AZHitman) saying that the more often it updates and refreshed content, the more it's relogged with google and the other search indexes. In other words.. having those recent topics update so often helps our site stay on top of the search boards.

I don't know if it's already on the site or not but about about the statistics of the cars...ie production numbers hp ratings and the such.
