EVERYONE Review / TO - DO List

Review web-site content and ensure content is ok:

  • Look for words and phrases that leave hanging promises. Where we say go check something out, but there is no link.

  • If we need links to something, point it out.

  • Make sure all navigation works.

  • Look for grammatical and elements flow issues?

  • I have finished moving everything off the old site! Have I missed anything?

FUTURE STUFF to THINK ABOUT:

  • WE can have “member” pages .. stuff that is password protected or hidden unless you are an account holder (free) .. or a paid member to see those pages.

  • There are page analytics .. so we know who is visiting and where. We can know who has an account .. and where they are visiting.. know what is popular.

  • The SHOP .. offers the ability for us to provide “discounts” and “sales” to specific items.. so we can use that to help sell things?!

  • There is also automation .. that can do things like .. send an email when a person creates an account.. welcoming them, provide new subscriber discounts, etc..

  • Do we want a “Hall of Fame” or a “Contributors” section on the About page, that lists people and the contributions they made to the success of 8-bit Shack or individual achievements to products?

  • Do we want to have a donations form/ability? It is built-into the system, and uses the existing payment method system.

Greg TO-DO

  • Setup email aliases for 8bitshack.net and other domains and have them point to a group mailbox?

  • Rewrite / move the Undead walk-through / play-through to the 8-Bit Sheck site from Google. Put it behind a password? Sell it?

  • Figure out “Member” sections of the site. How do account work? Where do I find / put the log in link/button?

Jonathan TO-DO

  • Setup PayPal, supply credentials to Greg

  • Need to flush out “Services” section of website. Might take it off the site, until we have it ready.

    • How do we determine the cost of distributing a game / demo?

    • Need to come with a baseline for 5.25” and 3.5” .. and how much discount is given to combos.

    • So if the software is free.. how much does it cost to obtain floppy, “burn it”, pack it and ship it.

Marc TO-DO

  • Start thinking about and provide Greg with technical write-ups for all other software products.
