Wow, I've just spent the last 2 hours doing the exact same thing. That is what I get for missing a meeting. Mine is extremely similar, though slightly different language (and without the "improved performance" bar chart - which may not belong). I also put the "Examples" in a big green button right above "Download". Anyway, same general idea - focus on a couple primary things, leave lengthy text like the current page for elsewhere.

Couple of key pieces of info: - 10% of visitors are on mobile/tablets - The most currently visited pages are: downloads.cgi, gettingstarted.html. I suggest we focus our attention on those 2 items. (Putting a Downloads link right on the front page, etc.) svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ctakes/site/new if you want to checkout the code of the site. --Pei -----Original Message----- From: John Green [mailto:john.travis.gr...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, December 05, 2014 6:34 PM To: dev@ctakes.apache.org Cc: dev@ctakes.apache.org Subject: RE: revamping the Apache cTAKES website I would like to second the bootstrap recommendation, with the additional recommendation of django for the backend. It is an amazing platform for rapid development and easy updating.
