<\/a>iClan Websites Premium Pricing<\/h2>\n

iClan Websites lets you build a gaming community website for free. In fact, its free plan packs tons of value, and it’s a great first choice for a small group that’s just starting out.<\/p>\n

You get access to many of iClan Websites’ powerful, gaming-specific features, like its match reports<\/a> and communications modules<\/a>. You can even use a custom domain without upgrading from the free plan, though you’ll still have to buy and register that domain yourself.<\/p>\n

Many premium features like premium themes and voice servers are also available for a separate fee, so you can take an a la carte approach and simply pay for the advanced features you need without upgrading wholesale to a paid plan.<\/p>\n

However, all free plans display ads on your website, and they do \u00a0come with resource limitations. You can only set up a limited number of custom pages, for example, and features like the Tournament Manager<\/a> won’t be available.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>

If your community’s big (or growing!) and very active, it’s better to get one of iClan Websites’ premium plans.<\/strong><\/p>\n

You’ll have three premium plans to choose from. Each tier builds on the one before, so, for example, the Premium+ carries all the features of Premium with a few sweet extras thrown in.<\/p>\n

Are iClan Websites’ premium plans worth it?<\/strong> Yes, especially if you’ve got hundreds of people in your gaming community.<\/p>\n

iClan Websites is one of the most powerful and easy-to-use website builders in the online gaming niche, so you’ll find lots of game-specific features here that aren’t available with a general-purpose website builder<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Resource allocations are staggered across tiers, so you’ll need to get one of the higher-priced plans if you want a website that can support hundreds of community members at once.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Stretch Limits with iClan Websites’ Themes<\/h2>\n

At iClan Websites, form follows function. You’ll find dozens of themes designed for all kinds of games, from Clash of Clans to League of Legends, Minecraft to World of Warcraft. However, though they’re crafted for different communities, these themes are designed with the same functionalities in mind. As a result, though the visuals might change,most of iClan Websites’ themes sport similar layouts and carry the same overall feel.<\/p>\n

This holds true whether you’re using a free or premium theme. Most of iClan Websites’ theme gallery is free, and for most cases, these free themes will do the job. A quick glance reveals little difference between a free and premium theme; at most, a premium theme gives you more elaborate visual assets and a layout that needs less tweaking. But the customizability and richness of your theme’s design is more dependent on the kind of account you have<\/a> rather than your particular theme, so if you’re not averse to some elbow grease, you can get away with modifying a free theme for your site.<\/p>\n

In terms of design merits, none of iClan Websites’ themes are spectacular, but they’re decent. Functionality is king here, so don’t expect the polished design sensibilities or sleek visual tricks (e.g., parallax backgrounds) of a typical website.<\/p>\n
