My first reaction was, for a game company, the home page wasn't very much about games. You have a lot of space to use, so you should. The home page is your marketing tool, use it to promote your games. What about them is exciting? Why would people want to play? Saying you had an update is not as important as putting the games front and center. Get some bright graphics, add some promotional copy, and use your space appropriately. You have very little time to grab attention, and the current home page doesn't do it very well.
Thanks, that's valuable advice. I think I do have to focus more on telling a story. Regular blog posts about the games, strategy, why they're worth learning, etc.
Sometimes I find myself overly preoccupied with programming. Marketing seems easy until you try it! (at least in my case)
Thats very true. And seamlessly integrating it into your design is even harder. Blog posts can be good, but I'm really talking about visuals and copy of the homepage here. You gotta make me want to click on something.
