Please add SYNERGY SECTION. Like threats but with good characters to be match with. Just like in Moba Fire.

Current list I have:

Weekly Challenges / News Post Option: give an option when posting a news post to not have comments from posts in this category be included in the main page’s “recent discussion” section. It makes it incredibly cluttered and a pain to read of new, normal comments.

Mobile-Friendly Site: allow for easier navigation and reading on mobile...right now it’s fairly unpleasant using the site on a phone.

Quick-Access Header (Items): In the quick-access header, there’s no longer a drop-down menu when hovering over the main options. This makes items hidden within the “gods” category. I think there’s enough space at the top that items can have their own header. The Search bar could be shrunk to make some space.

Notifications: Would be nice to get notifications officially implemented. We already get this for private messages, but would be helpful to get notifications of a type for when one of our published builds/guides or blogs gets a comment, or an option to get updated on a specific thread.

Guides (Option To Move Purchase Order Tabs): Below example of what I’m talking about. Would be nice if we could rearrange. Right now, if we want to insert a new tab in the middle, we have to recreate each tab after the area we insert it...it’s potentially a LOT of work.

Guides (Alternate Build Tabs): Example discussed here: https://www.smitefire.com/smite/forum/support/site-improvement-thread-post-any-all-suggestions-here-58724?page=6#comment-148051

Guides (“Notes” option in Skill Leveling Order): Add the notes option for the skill leveling section.

Guides (Create new “general” category for ease of searching): e.g. My Overarching guide series, items guide, others general guides that people have created)

General Site Aesthetics (colors, font): choose new colors (background, base text) that are more aesthetically pleasing. Veteran member Stuke noted that grey, dark grey, yellow and white are “okay” but bland. The basic arial font is quite plain and could be “fancied up” with a different font, such as Verdana, Roboto, etc.

Guides (“Synergies” option): We have an option for “Threats” now...just add one for Synergies as well.

Search Bar Improvement: Search can pull up key words (e.g. searching for guide with “duel” in the title), e.g. by relevance, but doesn’t organize by newest at top. Often will list outdated guides over newer ones.

I was actually going to send a message about general guides because I'm in the middle of writing one and was thinking it might be missed because most people just search for the god guides they are looking for, so I'm glad to see this on your to do list, thanks!

Not just colors but I was looking at other websites as good examples of web design, as I feel it's not just that but also reworking the font choice to something other than Arial. I know Arial is a safe choice and default for websites but I feel a difference typeface like Open Sans, Verdana, or even Roboto are better choices given how content heave this site is. We don't also have to use a san serif, as serif typefaces are also good since this site requires a lot of reading (maybe fonts like Merriweather or even Times New Roman despite its overuse can look good). Even combine two typefaces together can create a unique look for the site as well as increase readability.

As for color schemes, I've been looking at the color schemes websites are using now and trying to find something that fits a semi-professional but also creative outlet aesthetic I'm envisioning for this site. Maybe following the same colors as the official Smite website or come up with a more unique color scheme for a more personal feel. But will need to look at the different color combinations and find something that looks good and increases legibility for this content-heavy site.

If you guys need any more suggestions on design, hit me up and I'll be happy to help with a redesign.

I'm actually down for a font change, or at least the option to choose the font you want (between Arial Merriweather and Times New Roman (Yes I'd only use Times but still))

Not sure if it'd be possible, but on the topic of fonts, the site could collect and store various different (free) fonts that can be accessed with some form of BB, allowing anyone to use a certain font whereever, whenever they want.

E.g. putting your titles in a different font than your main text for that extra bit of flair.

Google Fonts is the best for downloading and coding

Add the system smiteguru has where you can see some top Masters+ common conquest builds for that god, somewhere on the god page where it lists the builds.

SmiteFire & Smite

Smite is an online battleground between mythical gods. Players choose from a selection of gods, join session-based arena combat and use custom powers and team tactics against other players and minions. Smite is inspired by Defense of the Ancients (DotA) but instead of being above the action, the third-person camera brings you right into the combat. And, instead of clicking a map, you use WASD to move, dodge, and fight your way through the detailed graphics of SMITE's battlegrounds.
