Hi! The last times I visited the Debian web site I had to realize that it is not very impressing concerning design and structure. Especially in design the sites of FreeBSD, The GNOME Project, KDE, Red Hat, etc. have a lot more to offer.
Of course web page design is not the most important thing about Debian but as the web site is in most cases the first contact with Debian I consider it important to have a professional, serious looking appearance. Moreover I think the strucure could be improved. I think 16 items in the main menu are too many and most of them would fit in a top level category. To make it more clear what I mean: I think of home page with a navigation bar on the left and a text column on the right. The navigation bar should contain a maximum of about 6 top level categories like About, News, Support, Development... each with its second level categories. The text column could contain a brief description of what Debian is, the latest news article or other related stuff. And to make it perfect one could add a nice banner containing the logo and the text "Debian GNU/Linux". All other pages could contain a smaller version of the banner and a navigation bar on the top with only the top level categories. The whole thing could be colored in white / red / dark blue like the logo. What do you think about this? I would be happy to hear your opinions. If there is enough positive feedback I can create a rough prototype of what I think of. Bye, Thomas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
