> Here are some quick-wins for styling of the RAVE site
> I don't have to explain that the site is no brochure or corporate website. It's an informational website so styling should be supportive to that goal.
> Readable: sufficient white space, subtle color scheme, large enough fonts, good contrast
> Scan-able: distinct styling for headers, lists, links, etc. Note that this is not just a design issue, it also requires good writing.
> I've used Stylish (Firefox add-on for user styles) to 'overrule' rave.css at some points. I've attached the Stylish css. Some notes:
> - It contains !important property, ignore that, I only use it to overrule current styling
> - Some rules I used to 'turn of' certain current styling, in the original css this could be done by removing the rule
> Then there are some changes which I would apply but need to be done in the HTML
> - move the <h1> to the content div
> - change logo img, slightly bigger
> This should result in a styling like the attached examples 'rave_site_example1.jpg' and 'rave_site_example2.jpg'.
> PS I noticed code formatting code doesn't fit the layout on 1024 width (still very common screen resolution). Didn't fix that
