Curse Of The Crimson Throne Anniversary Edition
| “ | The king is dead! In the Varisian port city of Korvosa, the death of a monarch leads to chaos, and only the PCs can hope to save the city from its own darkest tendencies. As the rule of the young queen grows more and more draconian, it's up to a band of bold adventurers to stop the spread of tyranny before all of Korvosa is crushed beneath her iron fist. In the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path, the heroes delve into the depth of urban adventure in order to stop riots, combat a plague, root out organized crime, and rescue political prisoners before escaping to the harsh badlands of the Storval Plateau, where only the friendship of the barbaric Shoanti and a weapon drawn from the heart of a gothic castle can give them the strength to return and depose the evil queen once and for all. | ” |

Above, you can see my overall site map for my upcoming website. It’s fairly simple, with a landing page, contact, review of the Anniversary Edition of Curse of the Crimson Throne, review of supplementary materials, and contact page.
The homepage is also fairly simple. I like simple, clean website design.
So, here are five tips I kept in mind while thinking up my website design.
Tip 1: As mentioned in the video, you don’t need a lot of “bling.” My design aesthetic tends to be simplistic, anyway.
Tip 2: Reading the Organizing Website Content article by Jordan Dick was a huge help. It stopped me from making his “rookie mistake.” Originally, I planned to put of the reviews of all the supplementary materials on one page. However, he makes a really good point about increasing SEO by opening up the back doors through which other people can find you. Someone may not be looking for “Curse of the Crimson Throne,” when they search my page. They may be looking for reviews of any of the supplementary materials. With this in mind, I have decided to put reviews of each of the supplementary materials on their own page. Using the organizational method shown here, this becomes brainlessly easy.
Tip 3: The video we were required to watch says to make your homepage scrollable. Makes sense. Whenever I hit a non-scrollable web page, I always kind of wonder, “Where’s the beef?”

Tip 4: I like the idea of a table of contents, so that someone can quickly get an overview of your site. I certainly appreciate that facet as a consumer. Nothing gets me to navigate away faster than having to search for information I am looking for. Ten seconds seems to be my tap-out time.
Tip 5: Target audience is something I struggle with to some extent, and I will endeavor to keep the questions asked in Mr. Dick’s article in mind when I generate the content for my homepage.
