Hi Petter,

What groups are you specifically referring to? 

Users (community), developers, corporate maybe?
I don't like splitting people into groups. Like; 'these people
are only users, so they'll be interested in this and so on'.

In your previous email, tou suggest that we "present targeted information at each section towards each 'group' of users" (sic), but then now you go to say that you do not like splitting people into groups. You have managed to confuse me! :-)

Thats not the point, but rather splitting up content so you
don't present everything at once. If you need developer
info, visit the developer section, and so on.

The purpose of a home page is to give a snapshot of what's inside the website, and to give entry points to the resources that visitors are looking for. Given the target audience that we currently have, I think the mockup includes an intelligent choice of content and links to cater to that audience.

Of course you could have visitors click two or three times, and scroll pages as required to get to their target content. But since we have a clearly identified key target audience, you can make an intelligent guess of what content they will be interested in, and make that accessible with one click. This is what the proposed concept does.
