site UI improvements #7

Closed yomed closed 8 years ago

yomed commented 8 years ago

First step in trying to consolidate and improve the site UI. Notable changes are: -bolder headings, no longer red/purple -spacing adjustments for docs and posts -removed third col on homepage (this sort of copy should still be used somewhere, but not along with the other columns here). -removed "learn more" links on homepage, made heading links more obvious (blue) -made consistent use of light gray #777

Let me know what you think!

Thanks for the improvements @yomed. I agree with all of your changes except for the removal of the third column. I think the third column is needed for aesthetics...if you don't like the text for the column then I think we should experiment with alternative content/text. What do you think?

philidem commented 8 years ago

I agree about keeping the third column purely for aesthetics. The content in the third column was kind of awkward so maybe we can come up with something better.

How about code sample for the third column? It would need to be short and sweet, but I like the idea of giving people some idea of what a Marko template looks like.

philidem commented 8 years ago

I'm going to go ahead and merge this in but try some different alternatives for the third column.

yomed commented 8 years ago

Yeah, I agree the a third column makes sense aesthetically. It just seemed like it didn't fit in with the other two, which are both links to repos in the ecosystem. Let me think about how to improve it...

yomed commented 8 years ago

Maybe we should change those columns to marketing blurbs, and then have separate sections below which give a taste of marko and marko widgets.
