Re: [Catalyst] New design

[John Napiorkowski]

Mark,

Thanks for sharing this and for spearheading the effort!

I think its a nice design, although as a few others mentioned perhaps it would 
be idea to not have the astronauts dancing, as that might step on the Dancer 
people toes a bit.  

My bigger concern for the website is overall long term management of it and its 
content.  I've given this a lot of thought over the past year and not come up 
with a great solution, other than to say it would like be bette to have a 
smaller site overall, and just link to github and the main metacpan docs, and 
maybe a list of aggregated blogs, rather than a big central website.  I just 
don't think we have the contribution level necessary for it (the current site 
was put together when the overall involvement was higher).

I'd prefer a clean looking, smaller site but with up to date info and some 
ability to keep it freshened up.  I know when I am interested in a new project 
and go to the website I want stuff like 'what its for" which a clear use case 
for the problem its solving, links to the repo and news blogs so I can be sure 
there's actually people working on it and the project isn't dead.  I think 
that's about the extent of my thinking on it, and I personally don't have time 
to make any of that happen :(

John

Concur with some recent feedback. It's done nattily but it's incohesive,
seems more targeted at HR and biz dev than software developers, and 2001
was approximately when Perl "died" and the movie makes me think of the
1960s, killer computers, and LSD, not MVC development for the future.

It's very pretty, I *love* the look of many of the graphics, and there 
are some nice ideas in there.


However, it is a very wide design which is going to lead to horizontal 
scrolling (the red section could do with having 2 rows of 3 things 
instead of 1 of 5, the space between the text and the book graphic could 
be reduced, the two guides to getting a decent Perl environment could do 
with being shunted off to their own page with a choice of links instead 
of a choice of columns) with some very tiny fonts (really tiny, the font 
size could do with being a lot bigger).


I like the space theme, although as other people have commented it isn't 
Catalyst's traditional theme. I'd carry the dotted graphic theme through 
to the red section though (possibly with the telescope being done in 
that style).


The Dancing astronauts are cute but more suggestive of Dancer than 
Catalyst!


Then we come to Man With A Brick. Putting the first brick in place is a 
good image for getting started … but completely breaks from the space 
theme from elsewhere in the page. It's also the first section that uses 
translucent backgrounds and it really feels like part of a different 
site.


The list of clients is nice, very clear and good at highlighting some 
high profile users of Catalyst. It suffers from too-many-columns but 
that is easily fixed.

I like the layout a lot. But the Catalyst molecule logo was apparently mistaken 
for a planetary system, which might have inspired the space theme. Perhaps keep 
the layout but change the thematic elements back to the 
chemistry/molecular/catalysis theme.

BTW, there are a lot of very cool colorful images of catalytic surfaces (for 
example as seen on the cover of The Definitive Guide to Catalyst). Here's a 
real cool image:

http://www6.slac.stanford.edu/pictures/990x660-news-article-expanded/130314-surfacechem-art-big.jpg

Which I found on this page:

http://www6.slac.stanford.edu/news/2013-03-14-surfacechemistry.aspx

That's likely copyrighted, but is perhaps a great starting place for 
inspiration.

Re: [Catalyst] New design

[bill hauck]

I like it overall.

I'd replace the dancing astronauts with something more "catalyst-y" like maybe 
test tubes or beakers and a bunsen burner with a nice flame on top.

Whether there is a reason for space dancers or not, I don't know. But I really
like it! It would be a very welcome update to the current website.

Re: [Catalyst] New design

[john edstrom]

Kind of odd.  The spaceship is the lunar shuttle from "2001 a Space
Odysy" which is ambiguous since its now 2013, long past 2001, but still
futuristic since there are no bases on the Moon.  Yet.

I don't get the dancers either, especially since Dancer is a
"competitor" for Catalyst.   Sort of an ambivalent vibe.  I'd sort of
expect something linked to the word "catalyst" instead, but I confess I
can't think of a visual that evokes catalysis (facilitating rate of
reaction by effectively lowering activation energy).

The design is clean and crisp though.  Maybe a bit dark.

RE: [Catalyst] New design

Don't get me wrong, the site looks cool for sure.

I just didn't get the dancing space people and an MVC Perl Framework connection.

Ballerina, Tap Dancing, Tango / Salsa etc..

I am struggling to relate the icon to the feature.

Break dancing = plug-in ?

Of course YMMV!
