I am sorry for starting this thread on the wrong list. I did not notice that there is a www related list. So please send replies to debian-www. Concerning the topic I think the most important thing about the Debian www site is its content. Besides this it should be fast-loading and easy to use with any browser. But I also think that a good design is a nice thing AND possible without loosing the above attributes. Good design does not necessarily mean frames, tons of graphics or java animations. Who is interested in what I think of might have a look at: http://www.koeln.netsurf.de/~thomas.apel/debian/index.html Although this is a pretty simple page compared to many other sites I could even imagine a more simple page without tables.
