Forum:New front page design

Forums: Index > Watercooler > New front page design

I've been working on a new Main page design, just because I think we need a new one. See the new page User:Tjoneslo/Main Page.

The new page is considerably less wordy than the current main page. It incorporates a few cool features that I'd like to keep. It also lacks any images. I also don't have a great sense of color, so the color choices may be a little wonky.

So, looking for feedback. Tjoneslo 20:32, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

I've been following the project (through the recent changes), and have been meaning to say today that I think it's really coming together. The current version is looking very nice.

I'd say the red border around the blue box isn't working out. Either go with the dark blue of the title bars or experiment with orange (the complementary color-don't think it'll work) or with green or purple.

The main problem I had when I found the site was getting an idea of where to go. Admittedly this wiki is meant more for searching, but to get people coming here (and eventually contributing) it helps to have some good jumping off points for general exploration/browsing of the content. A space for a 'featured article' might be an answer. (We would then need to polish up a couple articles to rotate in the slot until we could get more.) At the least, I think cleaning up some of the overview articles we currently link to would help (so why don't I do something already...). --Rindis 21:16, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
