Our Survery Says...

[snoopy1239]

Howdy all. It’s been a couple of months now (I think) since the blonde site was relaunched. It’s been a lot of hard work, but I, and all the other contributors for that matter, have thoroughly enjoyed offering our services. I sincerely hope that people have enjoyed the site and the content provided.

However, to move forward, it is sometimes necessary to obtain the thoughts of its users, many of whom utilise this very forum. Therefore, I’d be highly appreciative if you could take a few minutes of your time to answer the following questions. The feedback would be welcomed with open arms, and I’d be forever at your mercy (well, okay, that last bit was a lie).

We already know that you guys, perhaps with the exception of the design, love the forum, so if you could focus your attention and answers on the main site (as opposed to the forum), then that would be top banana.




(1) How often do you visit the site?


(2) Once on the site, do you browse, or just take a fleeting glance?


(3) Do you have blondepoker.com set as your browser’s homepage?


(4) Which sections do you frequent the most?


(5) Which sections do your frequent the least?


(6) Which are your favourite sections?


(7) Which sections do you think are a waste of time and perhaps worthy of deletion?


(8) Do you like the content we offer? If ‘no’, why?


(9) Are there any sections which you believe should be advertised on the homepage, rather than just located in the menu bar?


(10) What are your thoughts on the current design? Do you approve? What changes would you make if this were your responsibility?


(11) Has the relaunch of the site been a positive step forward? If ‘no’, then why do you think this is?


(12) Would you use a weekly poll located on the homepage which asked various questions? (eg, Which of the following is your favourite poker book?)


(13) What would you like to see the site offer that it doesn’t currently have?


(14) How would you feel if blonde were to get rid of the site altogether, just leaving the cardroom and the forum? Would you miss it at all?


(15) Finally, do you have any further comments or suggestions regarding the blonde site?

[Sark79]

(1) How often do you visit the site?

Forum - Way too much  . Every day

main site - a couple of times per week


(2) Once on the site, do you browse, or just take a fleeting glance?

I browse around looking for something to grab my attention. Anything that says free food, that sort of thing. No being serious. I normally read the blogs by members. Tightend, Tikay, Tank, Yourself, Red and all the other Blondites


(3) Do you have blondepoker.com set as your browser’s homepage?

Damm computer speak. I am not sure what this means TBH. I have it on my desktop.


(4) Which sections do you frequent the most?

Forum


(5) Which sections do your frequent the least?

(6) Which are your favourite sections?

Forum


(7) Which sections do you think are a waste of time and perhaps worthy of deletion?

Any section I contribute to  .  Other than that, it wouldn't be right to delete anything. We all have our own favorite sections. One mans favorite is another's least favorite.


( Do you like the content we offer? If ‘no’, why?

Yes, I like it fine


(9) Are there any sections which you believe should be advertised on the homepage, rather than just located in the menu bar?

Give me two secs, I will look.  Nope it all looks good from here.  I did have a look for the shop recently. Perhaps that when it arrives.


(10) What are your thoughts on the current design? Do you approve? What changes would you make if this were your responsibility?

I am just a humble Blonde foot soldier. I couldn't possibly say.


(11) Has the relaunch of the site been a positive step forward? If ‘no’, then why do you think this is?

The colours threw me to begin with. But now I like it. I even changed my avatar to fit in with the yellow and black layout. Penguins are yellow and black.


(12) Would you use a weekly poll located on the homepage which asked various questions? (eg, Which of the following is your favourite poker book?)

Yes. That should be Adam's and Nemesis' responsibility


(13) What would you like to see the site offer that it doesn’t currently have?

ehhh...  not sure. I am not that smart Boss


(14) How would you feel if blonde were to get rid of the site altogether, just leaving the cardroom and the forum? Would you miss it at all?

I think it is an important part of the Blonde structure. Some people use the site on a daily basis. By taking away that from them would seem unfair. I like it and think it should stay


(15) Finally, do you have any further comments or suggestions regarding the blonde site?

I like it and I like the forums members.  I think the Blonde mods and organisers should feel mighty proud of themselves.   

[Poppet7]

1) How often do you visit the site? Every Day


(2) Once on the site, do you browse, or just take a fleeting glance? Browse


(3) Do you have blondepoker.com set as your browser’s homepage? The forum is set as my homepage


(4) Which sections do you frequent the most? The forum, tankbank, blogs, gallery


(5) Which sections do your frequent the least? Live updates, Where to Play


(6) Which are your favourite sections? The forum, tankbank and the Gallery


(7) Which sections do you think are a waste of time and perhaps worthy of deletion? Nothing is worthy of deletion, I'm sure others read the bits that I'm not interested in.


( Do you like the content we offer? If ‘no’, why? Yes, I like reading the poker news and articles, they are written very well


(9) Are there any sections which you believe should be advertised on the homepage, rather than just located in the menu bar? tankbank, thetanks articles are definitely worth advertising, they are cleverly written and make sense. I find it very easy reading.


(10) What are your thoughts on the current design? Do you approve? What changes would you make if this were your responsibility? I'm going to be honest and say I don't like the design. It's too dark and gloomy and all the stuff on the homepage is crammed making it uneasy on the eye. I do like the bold headings with short intro underneath, it helps me to decide whether I want to read it or not. The small pictures add a bit of life to the page, if it was just text I wouldn't find it very appealing to look at.


(11) Has the relaunch of the site been a positive step forward? If ‘no’, then why do you think this is? Yes because the site before wasn't updated regularly. I think that blonde is now updated everyday or near enough, gives us something new to read everyday.


(12) Would you use a weekly poll located on the homepage which asked various questions? (eg, Which of the following is your favourite poker book?) Yes, no reason not to.


(13) What would you like to see the site offer that it doesn’t currently have? Maybe national results, just so that when I actually get on a final table I have proof! Oh, and a chatroom perhaps?


(14) How would you feel if blonde were to get rid of the site altogether, just leaving the cardroom and the forum? Would you miss it at all? Yes, I think I would, as I said I think most of the stuff is excellent to read, very informative, clear and interesting


(15) Finally, do you have any further comments or suggestions regarding the blonde site? Please change the colour! Make it 'blonder' rather than make me feel like I'm looking at a rainy day, especially because the summer is coming

Well done to all those involved with the re-vamp, you did good

[snoopy1239]

thanks for all these responses

much appreciated, but keep em cmoning so we can best gauge what you want from the site

we already know that you guys, perhaps with the exception of the design, love the forum, so if you could focus your attention and answers on the main site (as opposed to the forum), then that would be top banana.

Cheers

snoops snoopy

[Tonji]

(1) How often do you visit the site?

in & out most days (i'm easily distracted)


(2) Once on the site, do you browse, or just take a fleeting glance?

browse then head to the forum


(3) Do you have blondepoker.com set as your browser’s homepage?

nope (i hope your not offended!!!)


(4) Which sections do you frequent the most?

After the forum. Blogs & the news items


(5) Which sections do your frequent the least?

If your talking the front page of the site, i guess that would be the Where To Play section.


(6) Which are your favourite sections?

Forum, Blogs, Live Updates.


(7) Which sections do you think are a waste of time and perhaps worthy of deletion?

Nothing is a waste of time (i'm sitting on the fence here), seriously I can't see anything I'd want deleted.


( Do you like the content we offer? If ‘no’, why?

Yes


(9) Are there any sections which you believe should be advertised on the homepage, rather than just located in the menu bar?

I think you should promote the shop a bit more, its revenue for you.


(10) What are your thoughts on the current design? Do you approve? What changes would you make if this were your responsibility?

I like it on the whole, although I think the front home page needs tweaking, the grey margins on each side seem like a waste of space, & Blondepoker logo IMO should be at the top.


(11) Has the relaunch of the site been a positive step forward? If ‘no’, then why do you think this is?

Very Positive.


(12) Would you use a weekly poll located on the homepage which asked various questions? (eg, Which of the following is your favourite poker book?)

occasionally


(13) What would you like to see the site offer that it doesn’t currently have?

More interviews with live & online players.


(14) How would you feel if blonde were to get rid of the site altogether, just leaving the cardroom and the forum? Would you miss it at all?

Yep sure.


(15) Finally, do you have any further comments or suggestions regarding the blonde site?

The sites progressing nicely

15) Suggestions


Implementing a e-shopping cart is free and would make the whole process of buying products very very easy.
