Club Penguin (website)

The welcome page first-time visitors of the website get.

The Website of Club Penguin is Club Penguin's official home website.

History

2005-2008

The first version of the website.

Sometime prior to Club Penguin's launch, the Club Penguin website was launched to tease the game. It was an empty page with "Coming Soon" in bold. When Club Penguin had launched, the website was updated with its features, membership and a video featuring a video showing off some of the gameplay. Sometime in 2006, the website was updated again with a penguin standing in front of the Town. If you clicked the penguin it would change its outfit to random clothes found in the game. Ff you clicked on the "N" in Night Club, the penguin would wear a Ninja Mask.

2008-Present

In 2008, the homepage was updated with a few penguins on the Beach. This was the first version to be commonly updated for most events occurring on the island. On August 18, 2011, the homepage was updated with more penguins at the Beach. The homepage was updated to its current appearance for the Holiday Party 2012. In February, a new welcome page was made for first-time visitors of the site.

Past Versions

There were six versions of the website's main page, including the current one. The first one was from late 2004 to August 2005. The second was used from August 2005 to early 2006, the third in 2006 to 2008, and the fourth one from 2008 to 2011. This is the one with penguins at the Beach. In August 2011, the homepage was updated for a fifth time, which added more penguins to the Beach, including Aunt Arctic, Cadence, Sensei and Gary. It was updated again in December 2012, in time for the Holiday Party. This new design features an image slide, which advertises current and upcoming events, instead of the interactive penguins.
