We are restructuring the site
We are restructuring the website to improve even more your experience thru the navigation.
You may see links and pages out of its place.
As the website includes more than 1000 pages, it is normal that it will take some days until it is done.
We prefer doing this way and avoid to close the site.
Thank you for you patience!
The Word of CD-i as been improved in the right side menu.
Now you can select titles using different filters as:
- By the number of players for Games, Kids and multimedia as Head-to-Head or Alternatively.
- If a Digital Video Cartridge (DVC) is needed or optional.
- By Music or Movies that are Video-CD or Digital Video on CD-i.
- By catalogue number from each country code.
Also, from now on, when you use the search toolbar, beside the result, you will also get the cover or picture of what you are looking for, to help you define quicker what you need.
More changes will com during the year, we hope you will enjoy this website improvement!
Hi,
Nice to see the site evolving and congrats on the job. I espacially like the improvment in the loading speed of the site.
I have one comment to do about the new right end menu. I personnally find it more confusing to navigate. I would recommend you to rollback to the previous menu but use all those new sub-clessification in a intro page for every category.
One example:
Games
in this section we are showing you all the games released and unreleased for the CD-I.
In total 150 games are known to exist or/and scheduled for the CDI.
- [01] Up to 2 player (Head-to-Head)
- [02] 2 to 4 player (alternatively)
- [03] Up to 2 player (alternatively)
- [04] 2 to 6 player (alternatively)
- [05] 3 to 6 player (alternatively)
- [06] Up to 4 player (alternatively)
- [07] Up to 5 player (alternatively)
- [08] Up to 6 player (alternatively)
- [09] DVC required
- [10] DVC optional
- [11] Country exclusive
- USA
- UK
- Netherlands
- France
- Italy
- Japan
- etc..
- [12] Genre
- Action
- Adventure
- Reflection
- Shooter
- etc...
- [13] Unreleased
This is just an example I actually think that classifying by genre should be the first option, then country, then unreleassed, then DVC, then number of players.
But I think you should dispaly again the total number of titles listed in each catgory.
I also think you should add a press section.
I hope you don't mind I do not want to spoil you effort I really like what you are doing. You I wish you ro continue your effort. There is so much to talk about the cd-i.
Hey @arethius_rgc!
Thank you for you visitor's opinion, this is very important for us to improve the best experience to all of you.
The website works as a wikipedia like, that means the categories will be always on the side menu and not on a page as your example.
Believe me, we discussed this a lot between us (team) to get the best result of what the site let us do with.
This is not a normal website as all users, with the specific access level can interact with the website.
Meanwhile, I will check with @djkoelkast, our webmaster, if more can be done.
