Re: PostgreSQL.org : A new website design offer

You have put in a lot of work and it looks very good.
I would like to see it be more of an advocacy site than what it has been, a
developers site.
I thinks that there should be more links to tutorials, case studies, Howtos,
and getting started style articles. The News is great. I was thinking more
along the lines of java.sun.com. The front page being for people that are
new then a "Developers Connection" for people that are already using
PostgresSql.

Subject: [GENERAL] PostgreSQL.org : A new website design offer



Hi everyone,

A few of us have been working on a new look and feel for the main
www.postgresql.org page.  What we've got so far is viewable at:

http://postgresql.oper.metu.edu.tr

Since it is Turkish, please check what the English layout, which is at :

http://postgresql.social-housing.org/v2
http://postgresql.social-housing.org/v2/content.php

In Turkish version, in addition to the English one, we have "Downloads"
and "Users' Area" parts at the top and bottom links. Since we have a
language file, translation into any language is so easy.

You'll notice that it's mostly a "Portal", as its purpose is as a
gateway to the various subsites in the PostgreSQL group.

We'd really like to get some feedback about it, as we feel we're getting
near to a finalised design.

Specifically :

 - Does it look alright in the browsers you use?
 - Do you feel it has a decent layout, with a proper
   usage of space?  Not too crowded, not too much
   empty space, etc.
 - Does it easily guide you to where you want to go?
 - Is the overall look professional, in your opinion?
 - Does it lack anything important?

and

 - Any other suggestions which you feel are appropriate.

:)

Regards and best wishes,
