E. Readability Level: Primary / Elementary School

This score measures the approximate level of education necessary to read and understand the web page content. In most cases, the content should be made to be simple so that a majority of the target audience can understand it.

Actually it’s good in SEO context as it means the website is very much readable and consequently attracts more visitors.

The problem with that site isn’t its readability, it’s the sort of more… upscale? and business-like look and feel as a front for something that captions motivational posters. It’s mostly due to that logo, which is not only pretty bad, but also suffers from the same problem.

It’s kind of confusing to find out that Protivate stands for proactive instead of professional. I don’t get it.

The idea is that it’s a parody of a life-coaching brand. “Proactive motivation.” I had this whole concept that THE_**** had become a life coach and entrepreneur, and now he’s “motivating” his workers into pumping out these posters that he sells to clients.

I was even going to get my old personal trainer, who also happens to be a life coach and a badbum spoken word artist, to record some intense shorts to go along with the game. There was no time. But maybe someday.

I’m actually quite pleased with the logo and we consulted with several graphic artists before settling on it. The italics suggest forward motion whereas the bold sans-serif indicate strength. But I guess it’s not everyone’s taste, right?

Only thing that I didn’t perhaps like about the website was the sample on the iphone.

BARK! BARK!

I’ll get you next time, squirrel!

I mean if that’s a joke too cool, but really? Log in to see images!

I think the problem there JB is that although we know this back story as forumwarz player, Protivate users do not. Unless you explain this in a cutscene or something…? Or was that spoken word stuff meant for the iphone app and not the game..?

Just showing an entry without any idea of the original picture doesn’t seem to clarify what the app is about and also leaves both the web-page and the game looking dull.

And here I thought I had somehow ad-blocked the image. That was intentional?

Yes, you guys should absolutely put the image the caption applies to there. We all know what it’ll look like, given that we all know what INCIT looks like, but someone completely new will have no idea.

Just change the iphone image on the protivate page to show a submitted entry, not the entry submit screen. That would help.

Do the people on Flickr know their images are being used by CZ to turn a profit?

Meant to respond to this before, but now I can confirm. We’re only using images that are Creative Commons-licensed for commercial use and adaptation.

This means that as long as we properly attribute the images, which we do in the Hall of ****, they’ve given us (or anyone else) express consent to use it.

They have the right to waive that right, although to my knowledge this has only happened once.
