Website Reimagined: Dark Mode, Mobile Redesign, New Domain, and more!

Hey guys, and welcome back to the BTheEPIC website! Since the last update on February 29th, the entire site has undergone intense modifications and I'm so excited to share them! Along with site modifications, I've also made some changes to how btheepic.com routes traffic and purchased a new domain for link shortening, bte.ink!

psst.. my favorite change is the dark mode


The best way to organize these changes is to categorize them. Below, you can skip to a certain section or read them all!


Appearance:

  • Dark mode! Enjoy the new dark elements on every page, each recolored element by element to ensure the best appearance! Some elements even became more colorful to match the darker theme!

See the difference:

  • Mobile site redesign! Most notably, the text size for most text has been decreased significantly to improve appearance and match other mobile websites. Additionally, the mobile navigation menu was also redesigned to make it more appealing and easier to navigate with, the header bar was downsized, and the top of page button was removed.

Learn why this is such an improvement:

  • Most main text and images in each section are now animated when first loaded in! Different sections are animated differently.

Domain & Brand Updates:

  • Introducing bte.ink, the brand new link shortening domain for BTheEPIC Entertainment™!

    • Navigating to bte.ink will take you to my main link hub, housing my current main links to projects!

    • Additionally, this domain can be used as a shortcut to most of my platforms by simply adding /__ to the end! For example, bte.ink/instagram!

    • Finally, this domain will also be used for redirect links for various purposes, whether in descriptions, posts, etc.

    • This domain replaces go.btheepic.com, the former solution for redirects. Old links within this domain should continue working.

  • With the official establishment of BTheEPIC Entertainment™ as a brand, all mentions of BTheEPIC as a brand and mentions lacking a (TM) symbol have been updated to BTheEPIC Entertainment™.

    • BTheEPIC Games™ has also been established as a sub-brand and thus received a (TM) symbol.

  • btheepic.com changed redirect providers, meaning HTTPS redirects to Wix have become much faster! Previously, many browsers would only successfully redirect if the browser rerouted the domain from HTTPS to HTTP.

  • The website name has been updated to BTheEPIC Entm't. The abbreviated name meets character limits.

  • The tab title for the website has been updated to include BTheEPIC Entertainment™.

Pages:

  • New pages added:

  • Pages heavily modified:

    • The Home page now features up-to-date current projects, including a Student section.

    • About has been updated with more current information.

      • A new section describes my current academic goals, as well as personal achievements!

      • Additionally, a brand new More About Me section has been added, describing my life, stories, and thanking friends and fans! This section also includes pictures of myself, friends, and family over the years!

    • The Other page is now More, a page to host other random content housed on the BTheEPIC website! I felt More was a more appropriate name than Other.

    • As I host my main link hub at bte.ink, the Links page is now ALL Links. This page will house ALL of my current relevant links, compared to bte.ink hosting the main ones.

    • The Sitemap has been redesigned to adopt a simpler, more aesthetic look. Rather than placement spreading across the page, pages are listed.

  • The Brand Assets subpage was moved from Other (now More) to About for more appropriate placement.

Other Changes:

  • Removed social links on some pages to avoid redundancy, and updated them to match my current platforms.

  • MANY more minor tweaks to improve the overall site.

  • And finally, added more love.


To end this blog post, let's get some opinions. Are you usually dark mode or light mode user? Currently we're dark mode only, but this may become a toggle in the future.

Are you a Dark Mode or Light Mode user?

  • Dark Mode

  • Light Mode

  • Whichever is default, it doesn't matter to me
