New homepage for kde.org

[Carl Schwan]

Hi,
sorry for the late answer, I was busy with other things.

I saw multiple problems with the current page:

+ A carousel is a very poor way to represent information. There were multi studies proving that almost nobody bothers to read the slides
+ The explanation about KDE are terrible: I tried sending it to some friend who are not in the Linux/Open Source scene and nobody could find what
KDE is only from the homepage. The SEO of the homepage is also quite poor.
+ The homepage is representing 27% of the visits of kde.org and improving it could help a lot
+ I also want to help improve the image of KDE == community

Carl

(sending it again since I replied to Scott only the first time)

> This looks pretty good overall Carl. Was there specific problems that this redesign is trying to solve? I guess I am trying to get in your mind a bit. I am not sure what type of data or feedback we currently get about the KDE site...and how this is going to be easier/better for people. That helps with decision making a lot -- especially when there are disagreements with what to do or not to do.

For this KDE site it might not matter, but for applications it can be really important. For example if most people that are going to your site have a 1366 x 768 monitor, you better make sure your application works well at that screen size.
