This is my web creation for the /r/visualnovel's 2018 competition to re-design the recommendation chart for Visual Novels.
I mainly designed this site with a more modern feel in mind. The design concept came from a post I stumbled across on Reddit which suggested a Netflix style site as one way to approach the competition.
Not wasting any time I jumped on the opportunity and have incorporated concepts from Netflix—as well as other sites such as Steam and VNDB—to create a modern feel.
I also developed this site from the ground up with mobile in mind. While it's not perfect by any means, I hope to continue to develop responsively.
So far I've completed the basic framework for the website which allows me to easily and quickly create pages for Visual Novels.
As the competition progresses I hope to get some feedback from users to help me develop the site.
Even if the site doesn't win the competition I still plan on leaving it up for users to access if they like.
