I kind of think this is just way too much content. There are a couple of different approaches you could take: First one - each of the pages is a nice, small, digestable chunk of text. Could the tour be treated a little separately than other content in plone, eg., could it have its own special navbar (maybe a sidebar?), and be designed with more of a 'wizard' format (something you walk through step-by-step from beginning to end, so you'd click "next" and "back") rather than a normal site format (where you don't necessarily go through every page or go through everything in order)? Second one - Maybe there is a better way to organize the different parts of the tour? E.g., right now it looks like: - Take the tour - redundant. Looks like the introductory text that should be displayed with the first-level 'take the tour' tab. - Simply Powerful & Essential Tools - these two share a similar theme and I think could be combined - Windows/Mac - not sure what this is about, doesn't seem to have content - Multilingual - if Windows/Mac talks about compatibility across OSs, this could be related - compatibility across languages - Standarized - not sure, no content yet, but maybe combined with the other two above - Shipped by... - basically a distro list. - Deployments - example deployments im sure - Development & Innovation - seem like they could go together - Community - Free! I would suggest revising this to: - "What you need" - Simply Powerful & Essential Tools - "Speaks your Language" - Multilingual content, standardization? - "Ahead of the Curve" - development & innovation - "All about People" - community, deployments, shipped by (people involved in the community + demonstrating 'who' uses it, including distros and deployments') - "Free" Then you go from 12 nav items to 5. I don't think you really want anymore than 5-7 nav items on any one level. It's just too overwhelming cognitively to have more than that, especially considering the number of navigation bars already. ~m _______________________________________________ gnome-web-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-web-list
