Tabletop Role-Playing Games on the Web Get a Whole New Look
Obsidian Portal unveils new design and goals for 2009.
Atlanta, GA, January 13, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Just in time for the new year, Obsidian Portal has revamped their online service.
“After listening to user feedback, we took what was good and mercilessly slashed what wasn’t up to par. The end result is a great new design that better showcases all the great campaigns created by the game masters and players out there,” explained Micah Wedemeyer, Co-Founder of Obsidian Portal.
According to Ryan Felton, Co-Founder of Obsidian Portal, the main goal with the redesign was to give more space and more focus to each individual campaign. “We’ve tweaked color schemes, reworked the sidebars, optimized navigation, and increased the screen space for the campaign pages. The end result is less clutter and more focus. Every campaign simply looks fantastic.”
The new design marks the first in a series of changes planned for Obsidian Portal in 2009. “Over the past year, we’ve focused on adding new features as fast as possible. This year we’re going to slightly alter our focus to devote extra effort to usability improvements and connecting our users. Experienced users are able to create some truly stunning campaigns, but we know that some new users can be intimidated and a little overwhelmed. So, one of our main goals for 2009 is to make it easy from the moment you land on the homepage,” continued Micah.
