Re: [libreoffice-design] [Website Redesign] Assessing the Download experience

Hi Charles, all,

I hope reply-all is appropriate..?

Thanks for asking the question, there are two main things that irk me 
about it:

1. There is a "download now" button on the homepage. It lies. It 
currently is
  a go-to-some-other-page-then-click-Download-again button. I'd much 
rather
  like to see a button on the front page that actually starts the 
download,
  and a small link below it, "More download options."

2. On our Downloads page, we use absolutely atrocious buttons: these 
buttons
  look like they only have one click zone, part of them feel like they 
only
  have one click zone (background lights up), yet actually these 
things have
  three click zones (Main Installer, Torrent, & Info).
  It is easy to see that this leads to people clicking on the button, 
only
  to see nothing happening, because they clicked outside of one the 
three
  small zones.
  So, in conclusion, the whole button should be inside an <a> (i.e., a
  hyperlink) element, and Torrent and Info should be placed somewhere 
otside
  the big green button.


As an additional suggestion, there could be a bit more space around the 
bottom
of the links on the download page. Also, it would be cool if the 
buttons on the
homepage looked the same as those on the Download page.

Regards,

Astron.
