Redesign of dlang.org

[via Digitalmars-d]

Just to stating some basic observations to avoid noise.

1. Graphic design  of frontpages should follow the principle: 
"form follows function".

2. Mimicry of the visual style used on adobe.com will make you 
look good, and somehow familiar, but it is not going to make you 
stand out.

3. The current D population is not your primary target. Your 
primary target is people who stumble over dlang.org while 
searching on Google and spend 2 seconds glancing over your stuff.

4. You need to communicate effectively before they move on. Peek 
their interest. Create enough curiosity to sell them your main 
points.

Looking good is great, but subordinate to peaking curiosity and 
reflecting that you have something unique to sell.
