FreeBSD website new design
31 October, 2023 by carlavilla@freebsd.org | freebsd
Dear community, As part of the WebApps Working Group we would like to show you the new design for the website and ask about your opinion. If all goes well, it will be released on the same day as FreeBSD 14. The idea of a new web design is to update the FreeBSD image and show a more modern website, with a responsive design, etc. The new design wants to convey that FreeBSD is a modern operating system and that it is used by leading companies in the sector and technologies and processes key behind FreeBSD. It is true that the design is very similar to the current "trending" designs. But we have to think that we should show FreeBSD as an operating system that both a startup and a large company can use. The key points of this change: - Complete redesign of the main page - Responsive - Dark theme - Update HTML and CSS to modern versions - Improve access to files to install FreeBSD - Simplify the website Things still pending: - Dropdown button on the main page - Dark theme - Events page You can see the design in [1] - [5] It is important to indicate that the links *NOT* work, the idea is to show the new design. Bye and thanks for your time.
