Introduction

One of the main concepts that we would like to introduce to visitors and server owners is the concept of cards. A card is another name for your server listing, bundled up and shown alongside others in a presentable card format. We have invested a huge amount of time in making sure that it is enjoyable and easy to both update and create a listing, there is much more we wish to implement in the future and you can incorporate your ideas on your subreddit at r/ragnaranks where they will be acted upon and feedback left.

Here we will describe a normal flow of creating a card, the validation messages, required fields and meanings and helping you alongside the process.

Starting out

• To begin creating your card, you will be required to have an registered account and be logged in, without having a banned status, you can find the Add Server option on the top left menu on desktop.
• You should then be presented with a beautiful layout with some preset colors and background to help you get started, we have made sure that this experience is enjoyable and minimal to help the process be as fast as possible.
• On first glance it may be unclear, but evidently as you begin to fill out the form you will understand that your changes reflect the preview instantly allowing responsive feedback on how your final card will look

Understanding the layout

• There is two parts to major parts the card creator layout, the left pane shows all the configuration that can be applied to your card and the right pane shows the preview of your configurations and how the final layout will be presented.

Detailing your card
