German Perl Workshop 2014 - New ACT design live - T-246 days
We're happy to announce that our advance notice about our new ACT design for GPW 2014 now officially reached the production system. Have a look at the German Perl Workshop 2014 homepage and feel free to comment the new design below.
I blog about Perl.
Why is the “ACT Navigation” label there? It seems more like a comment the webdesigner left for himself… more than describing something to the visitor. If that box needs a label, how about “This conference”, as a complement to the (much more useful) “Other ACT conferences” label on the box below? (Or is this a comment I should be directing to the ACT developers instead of you people?)
I have to admit I really miss the yellow gradient with the camel train at the top. That was the visual identity of the Deutscher Perl Workshop to me. These new colors – they definitely work better, and I can even imagine the reasons that led to these choices… but they just don’t have as much personality. The old design looked amateurish – but it was distinctive.
On the purely technical side though (esp. the rearranged navigation with the major pages listed at the top) – this is doubleplus good. Much clearer structure.
We're not totally sure about our actually used colors indeed. There is absolutly no nogo about putting the old colors and logo back in the new design. But nobody have ever complained about it within our small guerilla dev group ;)
"This conference" is much better than "ACT Navigation". We will fix this soon.
Btw.: some kind of graphic logo would be nice. But we're so not familar with this kind.
Edit: Notice for myself - Read and think first before post reply.
For the "I liked the old old colors" guys there is now a "Change color" button available in the upper right corner.
