agreed, if it was up to me, I'd say put it up, then fix what is found in time.
Okay. I fixed the "typos" pointed out by KrazyJay (thank you).
After hosting the new site, I'll pack entire material into a zipfile so that any webdesigner better than me can download and make changes/updates that are needed.
I need some instruction about how to host this site (via PM); the latest times I tried do to so, I failed.
Also, I'll need someone to redirect
www.simutrans.com address to the new site.
About Welcome page: I see welcome page as a
summary of entire site, then I don't see any problem if we have some similarities between welcome and about page. Actually, the index page has some info that are not in about page, has a different text.
The index page should have more visual appeal than texts and details. If a visitor, after having an overview of main theme - the Simutrans, gets interested, he'll look for more details in other pages. OTOH, if we have an index page with too much information, the visitor will get tired easily because we weren't objective with the message. We are dealing with players.
IMHO, the index page should be short and clean, with just 1 or 2 paragraphs and latest news (e.g:
http://www.freecol.org,
http://www.openttd.org/en,
http://www.scirra.com and
http://www.blender.org ). It would be better if we get rid of vertical scrollbar...but for these things we would need to remove at least two paragraphs out to get more space; and someone in charge of posting news there too.
Just it.
