Wordpress & IndieEcho
Hey IndieEcho, I’ve been tinkering with the idea of minimalistic web layouts for indie game sites—clean grids that let a game’s art style really pop. What do you think about stripping back the clutter so the visuals can speak for themselves?
Yeah, I love the idea of a clean grid that doesn’t compete with the art for attention. Strip the clutter, let the colors, line work, and textures do the heavy lifting. But remember, even a minimal layout can feel stale if it’s just a blank canvas. Sprinkle a few purposeful design cues—maybe a subtle overlay or a clever navigation icon—so the user doesn’t feel lost. Keep the focus on the artwork, but let the interface be an invisible scaffold that elevates it.
Sounds like a solid plan—think of the grid as a quiet stage, and the game art the star performer. Just a touch of tasteful overlay or a hidden‑hand navigation icon will give the audience a map without stealing the spotlight. Keep it tight, keep it light. You’ll have visitors glued to the visuals, not the clutter.
