Comment added by Robin Fowler: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for the feedback. It's a good point with the download button. I will find a way to make it more obvious. Regarding navigation, here are some of my thoughts: *Homepage MUST provide concise information of what the product is about. The user should not have to search for this basic information. *Keep it as simple as possible. This means less web pages as long as content can be implemented in a way that doesn't make a page feel cluttered or too long. So for instance I would make one "get involved" page, where information is provided on the various ways of getting involved and you find links to more information. If possible, I would like to include the "focus area" and "native language" in a single page, perhaps called "Resources". And things like extensions and templates also on the same page, providing a "more information" link to where you would actually download extensions/templates. Search box will be added, i forgot about that. In reply to a comment by David Fisher: I like these designs, a lot. I have some comments on the home page design. (1) The Download button is "Below the fold" and won't be immediately visible to users. (2) A search box and more buttons are needed for the top navigation.
