A Site Update?

Hello there, readers!

Now, this is just a little warning about a change of site aesthetics and how they might change frequently for a little while, namely it will be the homepage. The reason for this is because we are aware of how the sidebar on the homepage isn't mobile viewing friendly and we don't like that. We would like this site to be usable by all, no matter the device you use to view it. However, we are struggling to find a workaround that pleases us both here at Virtual Lara.

We've considered a change of theme, one that will allow us to put the sidebar links into a dropdown menu, keeping the plethora of links tidied away until you click on the arrow to view them. The issue with this is that a new theme messes with some coding of many existing pages, pages that took me hours and hours to fix and get right, and I would rather not go through that again.

A second option was to try and add a drop down menu element (with coding) into the sidebar panel, but with our limited knowledge of coding, this hasn't worked out for us.

A third option was to go back to a similar design as when we opened Virtual Lara, and that is to have all of the links listed out in the sidebar panel, grouping them under their categories still, but this would create a looooong list of links that could look unsightly, even if it made them more usable. A variation to this would be listing the categories and have them go to hub-like pages that then provided the rest of the links, so it would look like:
'Main Games' link on sidebar > clicking it goes to a page that lists all the main games.
This is okay, but it seems like an unnecessary addition of pages.

Anyway, this has been an ongoing issue that we are constantly trying to sort. Please bear with us; we may go through some different looks but we are trying to make this site the best it can be and easy to navigate. Thanks for your patience and for also visiting our site, it means a lot that other Tomb Raider fans like to dig into the franchise's history, and also use this place to find any information they may need.

​Take care all and have a lovely weekend!
