About

JoyFreak is a video gaming forum. It includes game-related news and discussion platform.

Design & Feature Analysis

  • The big picture scheme with the main news written by the editor draws attention. Having the latest content on the side and clicking on the "communities", "marketplace", "poll threads", "Question Threads" and "Gaming Blogs" options on the small icons at the top make it easy for the user to display those contents.
  • Its headline is a somewhat classic website look but it is easy to find what you are looking for.
  • At the bottom of the website are news, blogs, threads and memes. When you click on the blue headers in these sections, it goes to a separate page.

User Profile Page

  • The user profile has a simple design and users can follow each other. "Profile posts", "Latest activity", "Postings", "Trophies", "About", "Post areas" sections are defined for users.
  • In the post areas section, the user's shares are categorized.
  • In addition, the rewards for the site users are defined as follows.

Things I Like:

  • It is a very nice detail that the "communities", "marketplace", "poll threads", "question threads" and "gaming blogs" options are on the website and I think we can offer these features to the project owner.
  • Memes are a good source of entertainment for gamers. We can offer such an option to the project owner.
  • I like that the number of views and replies in threads is supported with emojis in addition to the user name and publication date. I think we can add this to our design in the future.
  • Providing such filtering options in blogs, news, and memes provides convenience to the user.
  • It is a nice detail that there is a chat section in the lower left corner of the main page and the user can easily access it.

Things I Dislike:

  • In general, I did not like the site aesthetics and colors. If we compare it with our own project since there will be game developers as well as gamers in our user scale, a design in which users can present more attractive advertisements and attract attention will be better.
