Description
Need a website function similar to gamehouse.com but more better look and design.The overall summary of the website is to serve as game download site. We have tied up with this merchant and need the programming to follow as per our merchant instruction as below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Section A: is an overview and considerations in order to get started with the XML Data Feed.
Section B: is a technical reference guide with details to enable your technical resource to set up the XML Data Feed.
Section C: contains a matrix of frequently used queries and features of the XML Data Feed.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
SECTION A – AN OVERVIEW
This guide will provide all the information you need to implement your games channel. The XML Data Feed is a powerful tool which allows you to pull our content then store and serve directly into your website to create your own online and downloadable game service. Exactly how you design the user experience is up to you. However, we do have standardized recommendations documented for your reference. In addition to providing you with the XML Data Feed and instructions on how to build your games channel, RealGames will manage the ecommerce path and keep the XML Data Feed up-to-date..
1.1 Games Homepage Elements
We recommend including these top level navigation placements to your Games Homepage to help your customers navigate through various game lists.
1.1.1 Genre lists, either thru tabs, links, or modules
1.1.2 Search bar for games
1.1.3 Feature games such as new, sale, top-selling with a rotating module
1.1.4 List of Top 10 Games
1.1.5 List of New Releases
1.1.6 For all lists, include a link to “More Games”
1.1.7 Link game titles and images to individual Game Product Page
1.2 Category Page Elements
We recommend creating Category Pages for genres (puzzle, word, card, etc.).
1.2.1 Feature a select number of games in the Category Pages
1.2.2 Persistent navigation enables customers to browse games easily across all pages
1.2.3 Use the Short game descriptions available from Data Feed
1.2.4 Use clear Call to action buttons such as: “Download Free Demo” or “Play Now” for online version
1.2.5 Use small boxshot images in addition to text descriptions for games
1.2.6 Enable the scroll through all games for the category or link to All Games
1.3 Game Product Page Elements
When building your own game product pages we recommend you use some standard elements to give the customer the important information for each game.
1.3.1 Display these elements
1.3.1.1 Large boxshot of game cover
1.3.1.2 Long Description of game
1.3.1.3 List Price
1.3.1.4 “Play Now” for online version (if available for the game)
1.3.1.5 “Download Free Demo” for trial version (if available for the game)
1.3.1.6 “Buy Now” for Buy and Download option
1.3.1.7 The feed contains thumbnail images of game screenshots for download games
1.3.1.8 Up-sell full version features
1.3.1.9 Include System Requirements to ensure customer can download
1.3.1.10 Include ESRB Rating (if available for the game)
2.0 Using the XML Data Feed
2.1 The XML Data Feed will enable you to obtain content from our catalog for your website with the flexibility to:
2.1.1 Schedule the frequency of content updates to your site
2.1.2 Use specific parameters to obtain specific games (by genre, new releases, best sellers, by publisher, etc.)
2.1.3 Only obtain content approved for distribution to your territory
2.2 Required Technical Resources
2.2.1 In order to set up and use the XML Data Feed, you need a resource with scripting-level experience. A Webmaster or high level scripter can conduct the XML Data Feed set up (as deep programming knowledge is not required, such as C++ or Java).
2.2.2 We require that you save a copy of the XML Data Feed to your own server once daily. No portion of the feed (data content or box shot images) may be pulled from our servers upon every consumer page refresh, as our server is not intended to support this traffic load. You will need to plan resources to pull images from the XML Data Feed and then host from your own servers. This is also considered an industry best practice, as this method optimizes the page loading experience for users on your site.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I hope this answer’s enough for you to further along your quote. I do have more information to provide as we move along. I do plan to make myself available daily if needed to keep the project flow optimal. I am projecting a launch if possible in 2 weeks or sooner. Please let me know your professional opinions throughout this process, as I want to create something that is the best of efforts of all those who participate.
As far as the theme, we liked the following:
http://www.arcadetemple.com/ - The colors are most appealing as presented. We are going after this common fun look and feel. Other pastel bright colors are welcome.
http://popcapgames.com/ - The overall presentation of the graphics are appealing. The “Nintendo wii” kind of feel..
