Hello Daniel,
I like the old site, but it is always possible to improve. I am not good at design, so I can't give many tips about it. But, I will translate to Portuguese all things that are needed. Kind regards, >Marco A.G.Pinto ----------------------- On 23/10/2013 19:08, Daniel Naber wrote: Hi, I've planned for long to relaunch the LT homepage with a better design. Now is the chance to finally do that. These are my *personal* ideas about the future of the LanguageTool homepage. I'm looking for feedback.Our current homepage (http://languagetool.org) suffers from the following problems: -looks overcrowded -no nice, modern design -all non-English languages are just second-class citizens, for example they cannot easily be reached through the navigation bar -English doesn't have a language-specific page, with room for examples Also, but less important in my opinion: -it's not always clear what content belongs to the homepage, community.languagetool.org, and the Wiki -homepage, community.languagetool.org, and the Wiki have different layout styles -it makes use of a do-it-yourself PHP template system Proposed solution: -looks overcrowded: -plan a navigation bar with only a few main items: Download, Languages, Support, Developer -move everything from the homepage to sub pages except the "try it online" form and the navigation -no nice design: -pay a professional designer to make a new design -make a modern design but not so modern and stylish that it looks outdated in a year again -all non-English languages are just second-class citizens: -translate the cleaned-up homepage to all languages we support and make sure the user is automatically redirected to the homepage that matches their browser's default language (which is probably their native language) -use Transifex for translations of short texts -make all languages reachable through the navigation bar -keep the current language sub pages like http://languagetool.org/de/ - these are not direct translations from English but often contain more information -English doesn't have a language-specific page, with room for examples: -make an English sub page just like for other languages As you can see, this only addresses the main issues, not what I list above as 'less important' issues. Please let me know what you think. Regards Daniel --
