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 especially like the international support sites on the left border.(Note each site has their own url like de.xaraya.org, fr.xaraya.org)

The Main three buttons on the page will bring you to whichever section most interests you. Easier to navigate than the existing menus on xops.org.

Main page should only hold the main info, the spotlights, and navigation to other parts.

Color wise, their use of a darker shade along with the light interior is perfect. With the XOOPS logo being what it is now, I think some darker shades is needed in the theme.

Hi,

If someone publish the graphic files: vector, layered PSD and whatever else you have it may help a little bit

An easy to find link on front page and (or) news about the logo will help even more

Lance: that is quite a neat page.. although I'm not too sure about the links to their local sites... but otherwise, thats the sort of thing I'd like.

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

I've got my ideas about that. But since this isn't the thread for them, I'll wait for the right thread to be started. All in due time. LOL

On the other hand, it's hard to find modules and themes on the Xaraya site.

I think the left menu on Xoops.org is better. Direct links to what you look for.

My opinion on the Xaraya site: Looks are good, but hard to find the things you want.

Liking the new look at xoops.org, thought I had arrived at the wrong site at first.

I ported that design for the owner from a PSD-based template. Trust me, it's way to heavy for this site. It's a nice site mind you, but the load would be too much and this site would slow to a crawl.


Ah yes agree with it to heavy but the design is nice. lol And it looks like a very good port to XOOPS

I'm closing this thread, because the discussion should be part of the [design] project
