RE: revamping the Apache cTAKES website
Looks great. I like 2 copies of the Download button but I think I would remove the 2nd copy of the Capabilities Example button that's at the bottom of the page and just leave the one near the upper right. -Original Message- From: Chen, Pei [mailto:pei.c...@childrens.harvard.edu] Sent: Monday, December 15, 2014 3:30 PM To: dev@ctakes.apache.org Subject: RE: revamping the Apache cTAKES website Check out a mockup of a new website proposal: http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ctakes/site/new/index.html Based off bootstrap (Idea borrowed from the Spark folks..).

Re: revamping the Apache cTAKES website
Looks great. Bootstrap provides most of the css/layout natively. There are augmentations freely available like http://bootswatch.com/ that can add flare to the packaged css. Design is easy with templating incorporated into systems like django ;-) (not another plug!) Bootstrap also has some designs as examples on its website that would probably be safe to use as a base.
