Updated homepage

Permalink December 14, 2009 @ 04:14, by Francois Planque • Category: b2evolution.net

As you may have noticed, we have updated the homepage a little bit.

We did it mostly after reading the first few pages of Homepage Usability by Jakob Nielsen & Marie Tahir. Pages 10 to 13 to be more precise ;)

Obviously, this is still work in progress. I'm likely to update again when I read on... Nonetheless, feel free to comment on the changes. I'm also planing on going through the whole site for an update; update suggestions are welcome.

For now, the main change, of course, is the big green "Download Now!" button. This is my attempt to better communicate what the project/site is about when people first come to the page.

Now, I expect new visitors to understand immediately that it's about software you can download. Hopefully, I'll get less email asking me "Where do I sign up to get my blog?" ;)

EdgarYou should consider putting up a "featured blogs" that are your favorite ones as far as "wow factor" is concern -- like a marketing tool -- so that newbies/visitors can see the possibilities.

I like that you expanded the "recent updated" blogs to contain more entries.

gaelI like the green button, now we don't have to search for the download link.

Just a question : Where do I sign up to get my blog?

;-P
