Hi Martijn, looks really clean and modern! I like it :)
Here are my improvements: - use a more fluent design to scale from small to large screens - the headlines of each section should be a bit more separated and "colorful" (use some special hr-tags) - make the header fixed to top - the news section needs some splitter and color too, looks a bit confusing - use bootstrap, it provides a fluent/responsive layout, browser fixes, some js features and it's easy to modify ;) - hover and active state for navigation would be good best, Michael Am 06.05.2013 um 15:56 schrieb Cedric Gatay <gata...@gmail.com> : > Great work Martijn, I think this one can replace the actual. > __ > Cedric Gatay (@Cedric_Gatay <http://twitter.com/Cedric_Gatay>) > http://code-troopers.com | http://www.bloggure.info | http://cedric.gatay.fr > > > On Mon, May 6, 2013 at 3:46 PM, Martijn Dashorst <martijn.dasho...@gmail.com >> wrote: > >> For those that are paying attention to the commits list and/or JIRA >> (WICKET-3341), you've probably seen several attempts at developing a new >> web site design for the Wicket main site.
