Whoa, I’d totally forgotten about these... These are a few prototypes from
the last LUGNET homepage makeover process, which was May to August of 2000.
As you can see it was somewhat iterative.
I’m throwing these out here as food for thought. For example I am really
still fond of the national flags. Do you like flags? I can’t remember why
the didn’t make the final cut.
What I find most amusing about each of these, anyway, is that they all
actually function as alternative homepages... I was shocked upon viewing
to see current actual stories listed there.
I think the last one is essentially what we chose for the homepage in August
2000. Dang, I’m really font of #3c now (except for the demode vignetting in
the photo at the right). Oh well. A bit of history unveiled. Enjoy.

I like the flags. :) Add a bit of colour without making the page too ‘busy.’
Plus they add to that international feel. Someone suggested they be linked to
the individual .loc groups - good idea.
I think my favorites are #2 and #2a, for a couple of reasons:
With #2, the current news is the most prominent thing on the page and is where
my eye is naturally drawn. This is appropriate, since I think the newsgroups are
really the heart of LUGNET. Then my eye is drawn up to the top or over to the
left where the LUG locator is. The only complaint I have about the design is
that the navbar isn’t very prominent. I like that black Fibblesnork background,
too.
With the 2a design, a somewhat lighter feel is apparent through the light blue
header. The flags are still there, too. :) I think the text underneath the
highlights could be cut shorter, though. It takes up too much space. The navbar
could be increased accordingly.
Interesting to see the progression of designs here!
