Cuberite.org Redesign - Mathias - 07-09-2015

Hi,
I've been experimenting with a new design for http://cuberite.org, as a redesign was part of the rebranding plan. The logo is a placeholder, but otherwise the design almost done (need to polish it a little more).

- Pure CSS and HTML (except for the JS Piwik analytics code)
- Responsive design. Fonts and elements scale according to screen size.
- Montserrat font (Licensed under SIL Open Font License)
- Custom icon font with icons from FontAwesome and Octicons + Cuberite icon (Both licensed under SIL Open Font License)
- Support and Contribute pages

I'd appreciate some feedback about the design, what I can improve etc. Smile

The hamburger menu doesn't work for me. At least in Waterfox' responsive design viewer. Also, I don't really like the background. I've seen too many of those kind of backgrounds to make it stand out. Furthermore, the Speed, FOSS and Plugins icon are too low. They overlap at the transparent border for me. Or was this intended?

But overall, it looks pleasing to the eye Smile

I do not think a new website should be a top priority, but your mockup looks very good Tongue

. I have some concerns:
There is too much free space: I don't think all the links should be "hidden" in the top bar, and the download button could be much bigger.

Where did you get the screenshot ? If it is not yours you must make sure that we have the rights to use it Smile

Great job

The hamburger menu isn't finished quite yet. The background is a placeholder, which I'll replace with something better soon. I'll see what I can do with the icons, to make them fit in better.

Nice to hear!

Great job

Had some free time, so I decided to make a new design on my own. Thanks!

I'll enlarge the download button and move around some stuff. The screenshot is just a placeholder, which I'll replace with something better later.

I moved around some links, enlarged the download link, added a footer and changed the background. What do you think? (I'll fix the hamburger menu Tongue

)

I'll take a closer look at the download window. It's pretty glitchy at the moment.
