[Lucene.Net] [jira] Created: (LUCENENET-403) Improve site layout and design
Improve site layout and design
------------------------------
Key: LUCENENET-403
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENENET-403
Project: Lucene.Net
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: Project Infrastructure
Reporter: Troy Howard
Assignee: Prescott Nasser
Improve the website layout and design. Current staging design is based off an extremely simplistic implementation of Apache CMS basic template using the default Apache CMS CSS styling. Let's try to make it look better and have a more intuitive navigational structure.

--------------------------------------
Attachment: layout1.zip
Based mostly on bitbucket.org. Takes some elements from other stuff as well. Check out both index.html as the landing page, and then index2.html as potential internal pages.

Prescott Nasser commented on LUCENENET-403:
-------------------------------------------
Some sites that we are considering using as a base:
http://www.zeromq.org/ - might be too simple for our needs, but like the cleanlyness
https://bitbucket.org/ - dash of color, banner gives ample room for a call to action.
http://flask.pocoo.org/ - another rather clean layout
http://www.openoffice.org/ - I'm not a huge fan, but the call's to action are in your face, incorporating something like that is high on my list
http://grafico.kilianvalkhof.com/ - really clean, probably too gray, not really an area to provide some navigation
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/
If you have thoughts, comments, etc post them here. I'm going to be working on this a lot in the next few days. Again, this will be temporary until we get the logo contest completed, and then we will likely redesign again.

Attachment: layout2.zip
Layout 2 - extremely sparse, no frills design. I'm out of town this weekend, so take a few days to think about it, come Tuesday I'm going to probably take layout 1 and slice and dice it for prime time if nobody has any input.

RE: [Lucene.Net] [jira] Resolved: (LUCENENET-403) Improve site
layout and design
Posted by Prescott Nasser <ge...@hotmail.com>.
Chris - I agree. I ripped off bitbutcket like mad. The idea was to get something up there quickly with the logo Troy put together. My understanding was that once we had a logo from the contest that Troy is working with SO on, that we would redesign the site to work well with that logo.
This was put together rather quickly and really I'm using it to learn how the ASF CMS works. I'll be refactoring it a bit to get common elements out of it, etc.
Feel free to make changes - I'm not married to anything, and I don't think everyone else is. We just needed something up and running.

Re: [Lucene.Net] [jira] Resolved: (LUCENENET-403) Improve site layout
and design
Posted by Christopher Currens <cu...@gmail.com>.
The site does look great, I only have one concern and that is that is seems
we used bitbucket.org as our sole design inspiration. I'm concerned that it
looks *too* much like the bitbucket site and that may cause problems in the
future. I don't like having words and not backing it up without any
actions, so I would like to add to the design if that's alright with
everyone, I don't have anything now, but I can get something in the next few
days...I just need some time to think about the design.
