Clear message
We are planning to update the website look and content for the release of 16.04.
Theming
Base on the WP ubuntu-community authored by knome.
- Use official colors and artwork (CoF and text logo)
- Keep it simple and clear and with a look that seems relevant to Ubuntu Studio
Colors
The general look should be dark. We use our official colors, mainly blue, for the artwork.
- Official Blue #009BF9 (main color, but also representing the audio workflow)
Official Orange #E27D15 (not written in stone yet, representing graphics)
- Official Purple #574BBC (representing video)
- Dark Grey (not defined yet, also a basis for a possible desktop theme)
- Very light grey (not defined yet)
General Styling Guidelines:
- Top Bar Background: blue
- Top Bar Foreground: white
- Content background: dark grey
- Content foreground: very light grey
- Content links: blue
Pages
- Front Page (This could be the Feature Tour)
- Feature Tour
- Download
- Documentation (possible written docs, videos, and link to the help wiki)
- News (possibly aggregated to social sites)
- Contribute
- About
Custom Pages
At least the front page and feature tour pages need to be custom. But, all pages can be, except the news page. So, we need a way to create custom pages in WP.
Custom pages may be individually themed. Specifically the feature tour page.
Things we want to be able to do in our custom pages:
- Full width images
- Custom backgrounds for different elements
