Hi Everyone I've pretty much completed what I think could be an initial version of our new website so please feel free to take a look and let me have any feedback. (Just for info - all the pictures I've used are from Pixabay.com and are free to use and don't need any attribution)
It would be good to have some sample OFBiz pictures (and community feedback supported this too - instead of the all generic ones) especially on the home page so I have contacted Kenneth Paskett who has helped with the graphic design so far, to ask for a little more help doing that. So once that is done, pending any other feedback, I think we could be ready to publish.
