Subject: [DISCUSS] New Design for the Apache CloudStack Website

Hello,

I would like to start a discussion on the design of the Apache CloudStack 
Website and to propose a new design for it.

As we all know, the website has not been changed for years in terms of design 
and information. The biggest issue we know we have is that the website is not 
showing the full potential of CloudStack. In addition to it during discussions 
with many community members, I have noted the following issues:
- the existing website design is old-school
- the current homepage does not collect enough information to show CloudStack's 
strengths
- current website design is missing images from the ACS UI and cannot create a 
feel for the product in the users
- the website has issues on a mobile device
- we lack any graphic and diagrams
- some important information like how to download is not very visible

I collected a lot of feedback during last months and want to propose a new up 
to date design for the website, which is attached below. The new design will 
bring:
- improved UX
- look and feel corresponding to the CloudStack's capabilities and strengths
- more graphical elements, diagrams
- better branding
- more important information, easily accessible for the potential users

I hope you will like the new design – all feedback welcome. Once we have the 
design finalised, we will use Rohit’s proposal previously of a CMS, which is 
easy to edit.

Ivet,

Yes, you can use our logo?

Let me me know if you need the file or will scrape it from our site.

You can off course use DIMSI logo on the new website.
I think you already have the files, but if needed, I'll be happy to send them

Hi all,

Just a reminder here. Please, support the ACS project by allowing us to 
showcase your logo on the new website.
This is working both ways:
- you support the project by showing that your company is using the technology
- would be a great chance to get more visibility for your company also

Kind regards,

Hello all,

As Rohit already wrote, our community is working on refreshing the Apache 
CloudStack website with a new design.
As part of the new home page, we want to position a few logos of companies 
using Apache CloudStack.

So, can our community members help me by stating you give the permission of 
using the logo and sending me some company logos?
If you think your company shall be showcased there, I am also keen to have a 
discussion with your marketing teams for the logos. You can just introduce me 
to the person responsible.

Will really appreciate your help on this. Presenting the logos of users on home 
page is making the website much better in terms of the visitor’s perception for 
the technology.

Kind regards,
