I try to organize the different parts of our website in order to find a balance between what new visitors need to find quickly, what regular visitors need to access, what we want to promote… This page is made wiki and can be edited by anybody.
The problem for me with a single page website design is that every time we have a new release with new features we want to highlight and new download links, we theoretically have to change literally our entire website, instead of a page or two.
BTW there is a place where anyone^W trusted people (level 3 but we can change later) can write howtos/guides/tutorials (that can after be moved to main websites)…
@quiroga about download page we can indeed do the visual effects like you can see on OpenSuse.
The Opensuse page effects with animations depending on your situation in viewport (stuff poping, appearing etc) is not very hard to do with jQuery scrollfire, but I’m not sure yet if this is nice to use it…
I try to respect @rugyada’s style which is elegant with few elements
I love some part of deepin site, especially the LP, very simple! Some other one are imho too much crowded of jQuery effects…
Note that I don’t dislike jQuery effects, but I like them where they improve ergonomy (which is of course very subjective)
edit: ah, the idea also is to have the code very simple so that it’s easy after to add/remove elements, improve the pages with time passing etc.
Well in fact the page changes a lot, you may need to refresh, furthermore I try different texts to see how it appears on different screens (tablets, phones etc)
