Well that's interesting, you don't know what Lazarus because you do not want to read the text, which right next to a big picture. A text below the name 'Lazarus' made bigger than the rest of the page, well placed to be seen first, not only that I took it straight from the Lazarus' "About Lazarus" dialog box. Thank you for your critics, but I'm lost at words.
I get what Joost meant and I also understand what you're trying to achieve by your design. We want the text on the main page to be as consice as possible and easy to remember, so it would grab the focus of the visitors and give them a quick impression of the website. Some kind of marketting buzz words. Further text for the detail explanation can be put on the deeper pages.
the text would mean more icons, visual cue, which is the luxury we don't have because I assume there is no budget to order customized icons from a professional artist; other than that then we're stuck with the overused Tango icons.
If you follow this whole thread from the beginning, you should know that I'm working on this with the help of my web designer colleague. I hope he would be able to make the required images, icons, etc. for the new website.
As for proposals, of course it would be better to leave Tutorials to Wiki, much suited for the purpose. As for screenshot page, hmm.. I might add that one, thank you.
Good. Keep improving your proposal and ideas. Please keep in mind, it's not about your proposal versus mine, we're not doing web design contest here. We want to give FPC and Lazarus a better website so it would attract new comers, more visitors, and finally more contributors for the project. I don't mind if all people here don't like my proposal as long as the choosen proposal would be able to achieve the goal. Let's work together on this.
