Hey,

I went ahead and changed the Simba website a bit. (http://wizzup.org/simba)
It at least looks a bit more mature, although it's still rather plain. I don't particularly mind it though, and it's a lot more manageable. Input, rants, welcome.

We may have to update a few URLs.

Oh, and the entire website source code is here: https://github.com/MerlijnWajer/Simba-website

looks neat, I like it how it is

permalink thing is cool & handy

Clean, organized, and straight to the point… but if it's intended to attract, then my thumbs are down.

Well, I didn't want it to be overly shiny, since I don't think Simba is that shiny. It's a good and solid product, but not shiny. Plus, I usually dislike things that look too shiny, they usually lack in usability or stability. :D

But suggestions to make it more attractive are welcome.

We don't have a banner for Simba yet, do we?

I liked to overall look of it better before, honestly. Seems you've switched to the documentation style. I thought the last one lacked content (this one doesn't), but I like the overall look, especially the "Project Simba" banner at the top.

I've re-added the logo now, if that's what you meant. I didn't particularly liked the side-bar but it's not that bad either. But yes, it is indeed in the ``documentation-style'', or rather, the ``nature'' style. I quite liked it, but obviously if no one else likes it just let me know. At least this is a lot easier and more fun to maintain than the previous site, which I really just hacked together with a few python scripts. :p

I really like Sphinx.. Just sayin' :)

Yes, that's what I meant. :p

I like the documentation style, but I like it for just that - documentation. This website is supposed to be to promote and outline Simba, and having the documentation style makes it look, for lack of a better term, unprofessional. I just like the old one better. If that one was updated with the content you have in this version, I think it would be perfect. :)

It used to be super plain IMO. I like the new look better. :)

Hm.. I mainly removed content, actually. It's now all on one page. TBH I really prefer this design, it's clean but it has a much more … happy yet serious feeling about it. The previous one was so much more plain. :)

I think the new layout works pretty well. Very straight and to the point.

Looks nice and clean.

This is definitely an upgrade from the last design where you couldn't even find the download link…

Lol, must just be me then. :p Probably seemed like the last one had less content because it was spread over several pages.
