It
appears
that
neither
@ghughes13,
@HigherFlyer,
nor
myself
are
professional
designers,
but
rather
developers.
Making
stuff
pretty
is
not
quite
the
same
skillset
as
making
stuff
work,
so
it's
not
quite
as
easy
as
the
question
makes
it
appear.
Additionally,
the
code
base
is
not
insignificant;
but
rather
large
and
intimidating,
especially
to
anyone
with
mana
(
fresh
out
of
or
still
in
school)
and
especially
with
the
requirement
to
fit
"within
the
current
framework"
is
an
additional
hurdle.

find
it
hard

hurdle
(
that
I
don't

is

possible*)

I
do
agree
though
that
80/20
just
slapping
on
a
standalone
entry
page
would
definitely
give
the
most
ROI.
But
again,
there's
no
designers
here
to
design
a
nice
page.
But
it's
not
just
the
design
of
the
page,
but
also
navigation
and
login.
I
think
the
easiest
(
not
best)
thing
is
to
just
create
a
new
page
with
it's
own
layout
and
navigation
completely
separate
from
the
existing
navigation
bar
--
because
changing
the
nav
can
have
wide
ranging
effects
for
the
rest
of
the
site.

As
for
me,
I
don't
really
have
any
vision
of
what
that
standalone
page
should
be.
FlyerHigher
posted
a
screenshot
of
something
I
had
in
progress,
but
its
missing
screenshots
of
the
game
and
doesn't
wow
or
impress
me
even
if
it
did.
Also
I
don't
get
inspired
by
sweeping
dirt
under
a
rug
--
so
there's
not
really
any
motivation
for
me
to
add
just
a
landing
page;
there's
also
no
money
to
be
gained
or
gun
to
my
head.
It
is
certainly
needed,
no
doubt
--
but
a
compelling
design
for
the
page
doesn't
yet
exist,
which
makes
implementing
it
a
bit
tricky.
