Hey Damien and everyone, I finally digitalized the mockup and updated it, also taking into account what you wrote in the document: https://gitorious.org/jancborchardt/jancborchardt/blobs/master/ownCloud/website%20mockup.png – by no means final, hence the wireframe form. It should have the style of the current log in page.
It’s pretty much explained in the remarks on the right side of the mockup. The 3 basic target groups are users, webmasters and contributors, so there are 3 columns with relevant links in the first block and dynamic updates in the second one. Important is that we should keep everything simple and not have too much text on the site. We need to make installing and using ownCloud incredibly easy and understandable, ideally eliminating the need for any manual. Of course we need to explain the necessary things and offer help but the main point why Dropbox is so widely used is that it is just that; easy, quick and you don’t need to read lots of stuff. I would be happy for any feedback. I’ll do some quick testing with the mockups later and tomorrow so I can get some opinions of Dropbox users and non-technical people.
