AND http://web.archive.org/web/20060615003835/haiku-os.org/learn.php
to the people in our studio this afternoon. We also looked at some of
the websites that I mentioned before (CakePHP was called a
Thanksgiving festival, prototype was dubbed sterile, and codeigniter
was "fine". Happy Cog was a universal favorite.)
The current site got a negative responses on color below the header,
on information density, and typographic hierarchy. People seemed
generally impressed with Kurtis's design for it's simplicity.
I agree that the design of the old website was simple, and that was
nice. But the new website offers so much more in terms of participation,
collaboration, community building, possibilities for expansion,
scalability, etc., that from a broader perspective, what we have now is
order of magnitudes better.
IOW, good design is definitely desired, but it is far from the
determining factor in the success of a website. And I say this in spite
of being a marcom person. :)
Cheers,
Koki
