    Hello Brawlers,

    We're proud to finally announce one of the first revisions, ever, of the Brawl website! The goal of creating the new website was to gather all important information into one space. Newcomers get a first good impression at what Brawl is and what we have to offer with the new frontpage. But, the website has dynamic content around every corner for every visitor to enjoy.

    You can check it out at https://www.brawl.com/

    The new pages are as follows:
    The site was built with the Bootstrap framework. This allowed us to produce a responsive (try it on mobile!) and stable site quickly. However, this means the site may have elements that look like other websites right now. We plan to continue styling it until it is truly one of a kind.

    We plan to re-work the forums a little to flow better with the new website, but for now they will stay the same.

    Thank you to:
    @chickenputty for designing and making the whole thing
    @GreenNature for the badass banners on each specific game page.
    @D3RGPS31 various backend help

    Let us know what you think!
    Brawl Staff Team

    I like the new and modern feel it offers. Personally I prefer it as it's much cleaner, however doesn't fit with current forums. Hopefully you can make the forums look similar and much nicer.

    a) bootstrap is super bulky
    b) the styling is kind of wonky on mobile
    c) I think the top bit that's immediately visible upon page load needs less text and a more prominent "Play Now!" control
    d) on mobile, there's a lot of imformation compressed into a small space and it looks messy -- maybe hide some less important things on mobile

    all-in-all, my opinion is that it looks kind of like the result of a web design course that focuses more on "web" than "design"

    Wow. Nice job Putty, you should be proud.

    I have a few fixes; the mobile site is very hard/confusing to navigate on, everything is moving while you are trying to scroll, click on something, etc. It also is weird, cause when you click you notifications on the top right, it takes you to the forums list.

    GREAT job nonetheless!

    +1 for that changes. I especially like the rules and support pages, we have always needed a site, which brings all important information together.
