Tomcat Website Redesign
Hi all,
As you probably know I have been working on a redesign of the Tomcat
website but it's a bit of a challenge to come up with a design that
everyone likes. The way I see it we have the following options ATM:
a) Do nothing, i.e. keep the website as-is [1] for now
b) I can address the issues that were brought up and fix them for the
current proposed design [2]
c) I can propose a new design with a vertical menu bar instead of a
horizontal one
d) Someone else can propose a design and I will implement it with
HTML5/CSS/JavaScript
e) Someone else can do the whole thing
IMO option (a) is not good because the site is very outdated and not
mobile friendly. Many users nowadays view sites on their phones and/or
tablets, which a modern design can address.
I'd be happy to hear your thoughts.
Best,
Igal

Thanks, Mark!
I personally prefer option b which will also be the fastest to complete
at this point, but I know that Konstantin and IIRC Rémy didn't like the
horizontal navbar so I proposed the other options.

As you are the one doing the work I'll support whichever option you
prefer (although I'll note I'm not a big fan of option a)
