====== The 2009 - 2013 redesign of php.net ====== Many people have worked on the redesign of the site. Currently the most active developers are Paul Dragoonis and Levi Morrison. ====== Goals ====== Each bolded item in list states a goal we had during the redesign and the sub-list states some ways we could have accomplish the goal. Not all ideas were implemented. * **Improve navigation** * Enlarged size for priority and ease of use. * Simplify amount of items to prioritize the more important ones. * Clarify intent of left-hand navigation in documentation sections. * Add auto-complete to search-box. * **Have clearly identifiable content** * Remove visual clutter, such as excessive borders and boxes * Make each section visually distinct for stronger visual clarity. * **Adapt to various screen sizes** * Maybe use Twitter bootstrap? * Navigation on smaller screen needs to get out of the way of content. * **Simplify homepage** * Remove thanks to. * Remove events and conferences. * **Face lift** * Larger text size, more spacing, streamlined colors. * Keep the essence of the php.net site, though.
