[Qgis-developer] New website: update
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all. Back from a short meeting with Otto, Werner, Raynold, and Alessandro.

Re: [Qgis-developer] New website: update
Paolo Reviewing the website it seems you have two navigation menus, one at the top and one at the left. I would suggest making the only menu the top one It seems a lot of the features there should be under a common page as it looks right now looks crowded, messy..not good for general users (not developers) e.g. Under support could have chat, bugs, questions and all community I would have Home Support or Community Events News Blog (Planet isnt such a descriptive name for persons not familiar) About the home page should showcase qgis, maybe visit a few websites you may like and borrow ideas Finally a wireframe of your proposal, or a dev website for review would be easier to comment than text comments since we have to imagine how it would look when making a website you first create the visual component maybe using inkscape and once design is final you code it the site needs to be updated to 2013 standards my view only, and I also find the current site horrible to navigate and get answers, looks more designed for coders than users Sent from Samsung tabletPaolo Cavallini cavall...@faunalia.it wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi all.

Re: [Qgis-developer] New website: update
yes I was referring the old one, the new looks just a leaner lest messy one but I think it will work for now. What CMS are you using? I got a web designer friend who I can ask to give a few pointers, but probably this would be for the next months. I cant code so I can only give suggestions, I will see if I can get some advice for the website though I think something will be needed to be done when a new logo is selected or updated the old one Sent from Samsung tabletPaolo Cavallini cavall...@faunalia.it wrote:-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Il 12/04/2013 17:51, antoniolocandro ha scritto: Paolo my view only, and I also find the current site horrible to navigate and get answers, looks more designed for coders than users Hi Antonio, thanks for your comments; are you referring to qgis.org?
