They believe that they are the main <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dreamcodesign.com\/blog\/images\/2008\/01\/game-web-design-questions.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"210\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" \/>reason that a website is up. That is true in some ways but the main reason a website is up and running is for others. Other people coming to your website to\u00a0do whatever it is your website is there for. This is true for all website design\u00a0including game web design. Even more so with games because there really is no instant benefits to making a gaming website. It purely because you enjoy the said game and you know that many other do as well. Game web design is more for pleasure than for monetary gain, at least right away. When you begin to design your website you should always have the potential visitors in mind. What are they going to want to see? What information should I have for them? What pictures should I use for this? How can I make this site easy to use for everyone? All these questions are what you need to be asking yourself when you create a gaming website.<\/p>\n<p>Even though righ<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dreamcodesign.com\/blog\/images\/2008\/01\/game-web-design-hug.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"184\" align=\"left\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" \/>t away there is no real-life benefit to having a website dedicated to a video game there are many in-game benefits to have one, especially if you are the leader of a guild\/clan. Having a\u00a0well\u00a0designed website will show people a number of things about you. One being that you take your guild\/clan seriously.\u00a0You put enough effort into making a site dedicated to helping\u00a0everyone else out so that they have somewhere they can go to when the need any information about anything.\u00a0Also all the people involved will feel like a part of something bigger, instead of just logging <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dreamcodesign.com\/blog\/images\/2008\/01\/game-web-design-money.jpg\" width=\"150\" height=\"188\" align=\"right\" border=\"0\" hspace=\"5\" vspace=\"5\" \/>onto the game to play solo. In turn, member of the guild\/clan will take you more seriously. Another in-game\u00a0benefit would be that by having a website built for your clan\/guild you&#8217;ll be starting to make a name for yourself. The fact that your\u00a0clan\/guild has a website will interest people enough to look at it and check you out. If they like\u00a0what they see they may join, just for that fact. Most people don&#8217;t really do much research before joining a guild\/clan. Having a webpage will most likely\u00a0sway a lot of people, if it built well enough.<\/p>\n<p>Once you have built a name for yourself you can start to try and earn money with your website. If it is of good design and is used frequently there\u00a0may be some companies willing to pay money to have ad space on your site. This can be up to you as to how much to charge and if your going to\u00a0charge monthly or just one flat fee. If you think about it, having a well designed website that is about something you are passionate about that makes\u00a0a little extra cash is a winning situation. In the end, having a website that you&#8217;ve designed for\u00a0others will come back to you in some way or another. It&#8217;s karma, baby.
