Website Design Critique (request)

https://www.vrwebgames.com/

Hey everyone! Been working on redesigning my vr web games site, mainly the font and the game list.

Would appreciate any critique or advice from fellow indie hackers.

Thanks!

    Hey Chance,

    Very cool! Awesome stuff! I like the font, gives it a very web gamey feeling!

    Here are my thoughts:

    • The Hero section might be better with some more vertical spacing
    • I was missing a bit of movement throughout the site, maybe in the hero you can show a video of the game in action
    • Maybe add a secondary button in the hero "browse games" / "see more" or whatever which will scroll you down to the library
    • When hovering a card in the game library, the "Play" button is not always in the same place - I think it should maintain the same position at the bottom of the card - additionally a quick fade transition or something between the image to the text might be nice
    • Perhaps some hover/active transitions/styles on the "Play" buttons would be nice
    • Note the bottom of the cards don't have rounded corners but when hovering the text appears with rounded edges but the square edges are still visible behind
    • On the /learn/create-game page the footer is not fixed to the bottom of the page so it looks a bit off. The main content container should grow to fill the page regardless of the amount of content
    • Website is a bit broken on mobile - header needs adjustments, hero, single column the library, general margins need to be fixed up - shouldn't be too hard though

    So I think overall just adding some transitions and more movement and fixing up the spacing would go a long way. Would make the site feel more alive! 💪

      Hey Uri,

      Great write up! I agree with everything, I think it might benefit from some gifs of the game playing for the hero section instead of an image. And def heard on the spacing + more transitions to make it feel more dynamic. Thank you!!

    A game search filter would be useful: by genre, etc ...

      Agreed, I need to set up tags on the backend and then implementing a filter would be useful. Thanks!
