Though -- big background images are bad. But still, amazing :)]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 23:12:04 +0000
if you dont mind, can I possibly modify the design a little bit just to mess with it? Im just curious as to how it would look in a few variations...

but I gotta say, this is better than what ubuntu has up now, so keep up the good work.]]> Wed, 07 May 2008 23:30:55 +0000 Thu, 08 May 2008 02:33:50 +0000 Thu, 08 May 2008 03:39:54 +0000 Thu, 08 May 2008 05:55:34 +0000 Thu, 08 May 2008 07:10:22 +0000
However, I see the same problems on this first page as on the current website:
- lack of clear structure combined with...
- menus with overlapping meaning: news vs latest news, support vs get support, learn more vs find out more. No way to tell if these links lead to the same place or not and if you're missing out on sthg. it would be better without redundancy.

I really prefer homepages organised like a site map (in hierarchical fashion).]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 08:45:26 +0000 Thu, 08 May 2008 08:48:21 +0000 Very neat and polished.
I like this darker variant, but agree that title/heading font colors contrast should be increased.

@Adys
"big background images are bad" - Why? What do you propose instead?

@pt123
"neat but you need some white" - I don't think so. Just look at the actual Ubuntu website... http://www.ubuntu.com/


BTW,
this remark is not for the Author of the mockup,
but I'm sure that there should be a link to
http://getdeb.net/
at the main Ubuntu.com website. Maybe in the "Community" section?


Furthermore, GetDeb.net appearance should also be refreshed to fit the NEW (I hope) Ubuntu.com from the mockup.

It's a bit messy.]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 10:14:12 +0000
Certainly a +1, the vibrancy is something that can be fixed.]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 12:30:28 +0000
What about other xUbuntu websites ? (especially Kubuntu.org)]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 14:07:26 +0000 Big background images can cause loading problems for slow connections, and scrolling problems for slow computers. In general, it's better to use a small repeated background or a plain color.]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 15:18:45 +0000
Bring down that brown menu bar and attach it to the main content and you've got an alright design.

Good luck parsing that into HTML/CSS and wrapping into Drupal however.]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 16:34:36 +0000
Ubuntu needs to look serious, not like some nice toy.]]> Thu, 08 May 2008 18:13:48 +0000 Thu, 08 May 2008 19:36:23 +0000 Fri, 09 May 2008 10:18:09 +0000 Sun, 11 May 2008 23:21:45 +0000
