Hello everyone,

I am not very happy with the appearance of http://www.kubuntu.org/ , especially comparing it to ubuntu.com. The main page is filled (flooded) with recent news (that aren't any good for new users), other pages are mostly text-heavy and without images. The page is very amateur-looking and confusing, especially for newcomers. (all IMO)

I almost envy the nice and comprehensible appearance of ubuntu.com (and even those pages were discussed here, AFAIK). I think a lot more images and explaining screenshots should be put in kubuntu.org + more information for newcomers on the main page.

What do you think? Is the pag good- or bad-looking? What improvements do you suggest?
And who is responsible for the kubuntu.org look?


That would be me. The current design is something that I started and went into community hands...a few artists changed it and it was included. Note that the HTML behind the design cannot be changed. It is, afaik based exactly on the Ubuntu design so changing it is not a possibility, on the pics it uses now can be altered to fit the HTML implementation.

I agree that there is room for improvement. While this is a side-track to edgy (ie. not concerned with the release...yet) if anyone has any nice design improvements, post them on this list and we can discuss them.

As for the articles contained therein: I think that the content is not really in our hands, nor should it be (or we'd call this list something other than -artwork) :-)

The important message that the artwork should imply is "KDE for Ubuntu" (as compared to "Ubuntu with KDE"). It is a small matter of semantics, but can mean a world of difference artistically.

Bye,
Ken
