------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sun Apr 23 18:44:19 -0700 2006 ------- As the wiki seems not to be available, I'm going to put my comments here... To answer cristian's question I finished a first HTML version of the "first_draft" design even if I remarked John's upload in the meantime. I uploaded the page to http://why.openoffice.org/index_bedipp.html (after a wrong click at index.html - sorry for that). It's not at all finished, but I used percentage values for the larger graphic (even if it causes the browser to load more slowly), so it is smaller on 800x600 and not maximized windows. I wasn't able to move the table on the right hand side upwards (I'm just learning basic HTML), but the header should be a bit smaller... Every graphic (even the large one) is linked to a (not yet existing) subpage and I added a few explanationary words as title to every link. As long as we don't have any better graphics we could use the ones from OpenClipart and replaces them ASAP. @John: Thanks for updating my draft! Only with different approaches we'll finally find the best way. But let me tell you, why I think, this draft should not be the final one. I started like you with the seven categories at the bottom and the great/free/easy links to the right. But I found these positions too static - so I made a circle with the icons. "Why!" and OpenOffice.org in the same line makes me stumble a bit while reading, that's the reason why I splitted it to two lines. >From my POV the page should not be mainly white - larger colored areas are more attractive at the first sight, but that's just my personal opinion. IMHO the sreenshot is too small to recognize anything on it and - as the largest object on the page - it tells only: "OpenOffice.org looks similar to MS Office". I'd present it on one of the subpages. The "Click here" statement should be replaced by a design that tells the visitor of the page that this is a clickable link - in the moment a certaion amount of visitors will read the first line on the page and end up clicking "Click here" before they had a closer look to the other patrs of the page. What do you think of moving the 7 categories to the lower right corner as circle, adding two or three items to a "short-time ads" area in the right upper corner ? Just an idea - it's too late at night to try it out.
