Why no, but I’m thrilled to know somethings waiting for me. I can have a look but not reply that way (firewalled).

(It’s amazing how much you realize you rely on internet connection when you don’t actually have it at home.)

Re: TxP.com home page

Well then, I’ll just post it here :)

Please keep these following things in mind:

  • This is a wireframe with boxes to help think about hierarchy.
  • I jumped the gun on waiting for homepage content, so this might have missed the mark.

Beautiful. Very nice layout. Have you considered the 960 Grid System to make it a nice grid?

Nice work so far.

Re: TxP.com home page

aarplane,

I’m using the 960 to design from. Its outstanding. I didn’t adhere to it precisely as I am presently aiming for a broad brush kind of wireframe, and will hone in at a later point.

Would you be willing to remove the image from your blockquote? Its a bit redundant. I know that’s fussy, but its a bit overkill for a blockquote :)
Now watch, someone’s going to ask me to remove my image too :)))

Re: TxP.com home page

What’s the purpose of the gigantic Hicks Design block below the top navigation?
And what is the “blog title” block for on the left side?

Re: TxP.com home page

Ruud,

  • The Hicks Design block shoots rockets and has flames coming out of it. :) JK, its a place to feature high profile sites and examples of what can be done. It would need visual attention getting design and a strong quote. In looking at the other CMS sites out there, people seem to be strongly motivated by what they can do visually as well as functionally. A visual example of what you can do functionally is extremely powerful. Also, its a slideshow. Perhaps it could have indicators of pages (ie pagination of some kind), but I simply wanted to convey that its a large promotional space.
  • The blog title would be the most recent blog entry from the Textpattern blog. It shows that the developers are vibrant, and at work, and that Textpattern is alive and well, promoting trust and authority.

:)

Re: TxP.com home page

Okeydokey. Good idea. I use this principle at the very moment to collect the content for this very site. Might work in the future, too. But, hush!

Re: TxP.com home page

I’d swap download and the blog entry (download is more important).. it’s also in the menu at the top (is the duplication intentional?)
