Here is another idea i played with for xoops. org


I like the banner area better (with one background color).

I like adding the people (it makes it more personal)!

But I would avoid playing with the logo. Maybe we could have a separate discussion if we need to make any changes to the logo, but for now I would set the logo "off limits", as per Herko's original message. It will also make easier to compare one design to the other because we'll be dealing with the same logo.

Also, I think I like more the first design without the additional colors. It make it look more consistent.

What could be better is to introduce variation to the color of the logo, while keep it consistent. I like what Alitan did:

StudioC: Your design looks very nice, but the logo should be on "one" background color to protect its integrity. Something like:

I have a paid license for the Tigra Menu Pro, but there are very good free ones out there as well... And open source too.

Tigra Menu is free. The Pro version is not free.

However, I'm not that fond of dropdown menus, especially for the main navigation. For the backend they're good.

If they are visually nicely incorporated in the theme, they could be helpful.

I'm much more a fan of navigation like they do at Digital Web. The main navigation is part of the header, while the section navigation is the top-left block. This is friendly and still easy to navigate. As you can see in my own wireframe, this is the navigation I propose.

But the problem is that you have to make extra clicks to get to the section. With dropdown menus I need only to move the mouse above it to see what's inside. Much faster for the user and less traffic for the network.

Here's another layout proposal. I had this one in mind for the product site as a three column.


Looks nice. But we need to have a banner on top (for Google AdSense), as it generates good money for the project.

I would also suggest to include Menu from Tigra:

to make navigation easier.

I hope no one gets insulted, but after reading through the posts in the thread and looking at the links suggested for themes, it kind of looks like what's being discussed is a theme for an Art Gallery rather than a theme for a Content Management System.


This might not be a bad thing, if people feel that this could be easier to navigate and more appealing. This is a good opportunity to think "out of box" and compare different alternatives. As in an brainstorming session, all ideas are good :)

I would also suggest to look at the top commercial websites, Amazon, eBay, Microsoft, etc., since they spend TONS of money for usebility testing, so we definitely could learn something from them.

What I would like in an innovative, very efficient, visually appealing, unique and easily memorable Website portal. Something that when users come in, they will remember the look of it, but will also love the easy navigation and content organization. The WOW effect would be very nice!

Maybe here we could find some ideas:

Are there any other Websites evaluating Web designs?

Looks to me like Mamba's site has been used for distribution of some exploit for that WMF vulnerability mess that seems to have the potential to become quite a nightmare for Windows users. So, my question would be: How can we obtain maximum protection against people placing one of those nasty images in, say, the image galleries that are on our sites? Or any other module that lets people upload something. Restricting extensions and mime types may not be enough


They didn't put any pictures on my site. What they did is somehow modified my "index.php" file. Since then, I've changed it read only. And I was lucky enough to figure the whole mess within couple of hours at night when my users are asleep, so I hope that nobody got impacted by that.

Mamba, I hope you didn't look at your compromised site from a Windows box. In any case, it may be a very good idea to update virus defs and do a full system scan on your own machine. But that you probably did already.


Unfortunately, I did go there, but I hope that nothing happened since I didn't download the file. I have virus checking software with latest updates and I didn't get any alerts so I hope, everything is OK. But just in case, I am also checking as we speak all my files with Windows OneCare. So far so good....

For now it's OK to use the forum, but I am just forward thinking and trying to establish clear path for project management...

For example: the content project will have a thread called [content] To do list. In it are posts that show which tasks are open, closed, assigned (to whom), and pending (meaning the tasks haven't been decided on yet). Tasks like: write 10 reasons to start using XOOPS or update Who made XOOPS?.
Herko


Is there a "To-Do" module that could be used for it? This would much easier to check the current status, instead going through threads.

I really think you should take a look at the Xaraya Homepage.

This type of professional looking homepage should be adopted, then you can have all the clutered info inside.


I am not a big fan of the colors, but I liked the organization, incl. the International sections.

I also like this:
