Official Website Redesign Requests

This forum is for you guys to show/tell us what you want to see from the redesign


many additional questions and updates can be found here:
Core Team Updates

Official core team statement:

SNEAK PEAK!
DISCLAIMER: This is what the virtualpopstar rework looks like so far and NOT the final design.



We are currently working on a Website Redesign!
        Right now we are very early on in the project, and nothing has been finalized yet.
As such, while we are very excited to show you our progress and ideas, we just aren’t ready.

Heres what we want you to know about this project:
- It is being done by MsSuicideSheep (referred to as MSS)
- Every page will get a redesign
- The site will be intentionally mobile friendly
- There is currently no plans for an app
- There is discussion of the addition of dark/light modes being added
- The site will overall appear cleaner, more easy to access, and generally more functional











FAQ:

Who is doing it?
Our developers for this are @MsSuicideSheep and @enbette 
We on EN are familiar with Enbette, but here is what MSS has to say to everyone:
[COMING SOON, she will make an official introduction]


Why do we need a redesign?


Why does the Sneak peek look so different?
This is a very very early concept of a mobile site to show you where we are. this is
something we have been working on since January, and it is nowhere near
finished. In fact, everything has been completely rebuilt from the ground up


Are you working on an app?
enbette wrote:
App is not in the works rn mainly because you just can't turn current vp
into an app without mobile friendly and (most importantly) modern
redesign (I mean not just the visual update), so once we're done with it
I'll think about porting it to android ios too


Who will design the logo?
We are unsure as of now, we are still in the very early stages and have
not yet formed a color identity for the redesign. There are many steps
between now and a [potential] new logo

Choose your own background site wide and a night mode and more costumization options would be nice but I don't think a re-design is the most pressing issue tbh.

Genuinely I don’t want to be mean or negative but the sneakiest that was posted looks like a spam ad website n I’m so sad I haven’t had the time to finish my graphic design suggestion sheet in time for this , not in the sense that my suggestions would be better just that like… I don’t want an update to be a downgrade n rn it looks like it 😭

My suggestion is to at least make the purple that virtual popstar was written in n used in some of the icons stuff into a purple that doesn’t hurt peoples eyes

Also somewhat personal preference but I kind of love the lack of corner rounding in a lot of VPs elementen it’s sorta disappointing to see everything blobified

I’ll probably put more detailed n constructive critique with examples later on like Saturday when I don’t have an exam to think about

also btw, it’s very confusing that you’re posting this from your account that isn’t in core team it makes it look like just some random user took it upon themselves to make an official thread

a cohesive colour palette.. 
stuff like wof, the games, the currency, almost everything found under the fans section ect are such eyesores against the purple colour theme

other than that there's only really minor stuff, the layout overall is fine as it is visually! id just restructure the categories and locations a bit, like move rules from social to the home page, and collect blog stats and the blog part of profile and blogs into one side menu button for instance

Also tbh I think keeping the 2000s aestethic should be a priority

honestly yeah i agree i dont really see a point in full redesign  whats the point of making the site look like a phone app if theres no app in works either... vp rn looks a little rustic yeah but it doesnt look bad and theres a certain charm to it, if anything making it more 2016sque makes more sense

the main issues with vp on mobile is stuff like being unable to click quote without accidentally becoming the thread superfan by following it instead and the fact that making outfits is another layer of hell never seen before, those things cud be worked on instead of like    redesigning the entire thing

there are also currently just weird design choices on vp like the fact that hall of fame just says "Top 15 of the day" which confused sb recently bc top What, or the fact that in order to find stuff like money transfer log you need to go into account settings from the main page specifically and not to bank page that would make sense, being unable to edit blogs without going into my blogs list and looking for it there when an edit button makes sense, achievement thingie not tracking stuff probably etc   aka small things that make it less intuitive to navigate and less comfortable to use and should be focused on imo

^^^^^^^^^^^

its vps main selling point both to old fart like us and it has retro charm that’s very on trend rn, making the site look like generic app is like overall not the greatest choice from a marketing or design perspective

Yeah the thing vp needs is actually optimization not necessarily a redesign
