Tonight, we launched a new look. It is simpler and more
effective--easier to find things, including the download button,
support, information and other material users and developers want--and
it also looks good. The styling changes affect quite a few pages, and
we would like to hear your critiques. Please send them the website
team, at [EMAIL PROTECTED]
The effort was led by Maarten Brouwers, our lead designer, with a lot
of brilliant CSS styling and design by Ivan Miskovic, crucial
suggestions by Graham Lauder, and invaluable work, feedback, and
insight by Christian Lohmaier (co-lead of website), Alexandro
Colorado, André Wyrwa, Kay Schenk, and many others not mentioned here
but no less important.
I only had time for (quite literally) 5-second look, but just want to
post back right away with my initial reaction:
This Is A Huge Improvement!
This rave comes from someone who works in the field of solutions
design/usability and who believes that taking what programmers create
and re-skinning and re-writing it and making it pleasant and easy for
end-users is an important artform, and I've been rather critical of the
whole project on these points in the past.
Thank you to everyone involved. Starting with the index page of the
site, this is MUCH more welcoming and easier to navigate.
