Hi all,
A bit ago, Robert Lihm and Andreas Demmer put together a new design for the openSUSE Web page. We'd like to get some comments on this redesign *now* while it's in the design phase, as opposed to a bunch of commentary *after* it's deployed. :-) (Or, to put it another way, "speak now...")
The new design is here:
http://webtest.opensuse.org/en/
Some of the text is just placeholder text, so there's no need to worry right now about the content on the page (unless you have a desire to pitch in with that) -- but we do need some thought about the design.
Two good comments made during the meeting in IRC:
* The text links at the bottom (Get Software ... Wiki ... Build Service) should be up top rather than at the bottom. * It's necessary to scroll to get to a lot of the content. I don't think this is entirely avoidable, but maybe it'd be possible to minimize this?
I'm not a designer, but I'm wondering if it might make better use of space to include the search bar in the grey box on the page?
Other thoughts?
I'd like to see "Help & Support" moved up above "News & Events", just to make it as quick and easy as possible to find it. One other thing, which might only come in handy once every 6-8 months, would be to make sure that we can put "New openSUSE release" in a very prominent place on the page.
Overall, I'm greatly impressed with this design. Andreas and Robert - looks great!
Yes, it looks great. Fantastic work Robert and Andreas!
Best,
Zonker
