New Website Design

[Valtam]

Out of all of the feedback I receive, a large portion of it regards how busy it looks and how it can be hard to find things.

Hopefully, this is all now resolved. Still a few bits and pieces to tidy up but overall I'm happy with the result.

Let me now what you think.

Hi Jerry & Team,

Congrats, great work!

A few minor things that stood out to me:

As much as I don't mind I could imagine that the very clean landing page might be too clean, maybe perceived as boring? It would be nice to have one or two screenshots integrated.

Also, with the resolution of my screens around half the height is taken up by the headings. The usage of the screen real estate seems out of balance.

The Download page has 11(!) subheadings. Some kind of TOCs or menu would make it more usable.
I don't understand why older versions of the current series are offered (as equal) next to the current latest release? I'd suggest as main download the latest release and a less prominent link to older releases.
The Community Sponsors heading/section is mixed with technical info. As it would not do them justice to put them at the very end of that quite long page I'd suggest to mention them under the download links in the dark blue section which would also clearly separate them from the technical info.

Last but not least, if the Status page also kept the top menu, it would integrate much better with the rest of the website and also would make navigation back to the other categories much easier.

Hope that helps.
Many thanks for all your efforts and commitment over so many years!

Concur with LL-user's points and add my thanks.
Good to see the minimum hardware requirements have crept up a little bit.

Some thoughts regarding the Download page.
Realistically, anyone looking for a currently supported release should be choosing 7.4 or 6.6 (at time of writing) so those need to be there.  Would it be useful/practical to have links to the release notes and caveats/known issues alongside the download options ?

The sections on Release timing, UEFI/Secure boot, previous releases and Roadmap might be more appropriate under the support tab ?

Thanks folks. Am making a list of suggestions and will review/implement.

Updated a few pages, it's a work in progress.
