It's looking good!  What were we using for the frontend in early 2017?  Whatever it was, I liked it.  This is great too and I'm assuming it's easier to update.

I like the look of that.

Looks good

The only thing I would say is that the slider at the top doesn't really add anything of any value to the site, and is part of the reason that it is taking upwards of 4 seconds to load the page.

What CSSIgniter theme are you using out of interest?

Also, it might be worth looking at the way games are listed within categories, as currently, they are in a blog archive, making the process of finding a specific game (in categories that have large lists of games) a pain in the rear.

Good point, how do I achieve what you said mate?

I am very experienced with upfront web design, by hand or via Wordpress. Let me know what you would need. Saw your Twitter post. Also very good with writing site dialog, basic markup, and CSS.

This http://www.testarea.retrovideogamer.co.uk/wordpress/ running seamlessly, able to allow me to assign certain members access to submit content.

What bit, the slider or the category bit?

How do you see people being able to add content, frontend or backend?

Have you created templates for blog posts where you are simply filling in raw content to or are you creating each blog page separately?

How would you want the games per category to be displayed?

Do you have any form of site structure plan you are working from?

[zapiy]

The template is a review addon.

I'd like submissions from front and back ends.

Games listed in some alphabetical order.

If anyone wants to help with this I would love to start to get this sorted now.

Looking good guys!

Ok, sadly the theme you all would have seen will no longer be supported September this year and I don't want to build a new frontend and find issues when the theme is no longer supported

So i've found a free one, please go have a look and I added a review mod and you can see how one will look..

Hmm, it's telling me I'm not allowed to preview drafts.
