I know a lot of openSUSE users and contributors probably don’t look at the openSUSE landing page (front page) every day — I have most of the openSUSE pages I need bookmarked or have the URLs memorized, and rarely ever start from the front page.

So, you may not have noticed that the front page has been redesigned. Go ahead, pull up a new browser window and take a look.

Isn’t it fantastic? I liked the old page, but this redesign really looks great. Robert Lihm and Andreas Demmer have done a great job rethinking the page and putting a lot more information on the landing page without making it look cluttered or ugly.

One of the things the marketing team will be looking at now is how we can start improving pages further inside the Web site to better serve new users and the existing community as well. If you’re interested, please be sure to sign up for the marketing list and join in. The openSUSE Web site is the first contact for the project for many people, so it’s vitally important that it look good and be as usable as possible, and the new landing page is both usable and great-looking.
