Face lift for demotech.org

Yes, www.demotech.org looks different from now on! We say goodbye to the old home page with the many pictures mosaic and three slogans: "Poverty?", "Sustainability?" and "More joy per Person" to exchange it for the middle of the road home page we have now. Why?
For a start, we indeed want to be seen and recognized as middle of the road. Demotech should function as a normal useful tool, like a hammer. A hammer works best when it is just a hammer, without funny extra's.
Stijn Quast, one of the students of the Workforce, has modeled the structure of our old website into a frame that performs better for people that look for information. What does still need improvements is the layout, f.e. the design of the header. The new setup is expected to perform better in regard of:

  • what most people expect to find in a website, thus organized in a more or less standardized version
  • flatter website, fewer steps to go to information
  • the website should work with older computers
  • a smart visual layout. Color coding is used for different categories, icons are more descriptive ...

    Four people are now involved in this new setup. Guiding from the side line has been done by our long time web master Marc. New, young and enthusiastic support came from Sander Bokern, who has done all the PHP-scripts for the forum. I myself have to take care for text and content. I have to do a better job, hope to gradually upgrade the text-blocks that often are inserted as temporary. And then there is Stijn, who went all out for this web-transfer and who has spend most of his free time this summer on this job. Thanks to Stijn!

    But thanks to you too, reader! We need some patience from you to clear the dirty bits left over, to make details better functioning or better looking. And do not forget to look at the Participation page. More and more people from all over the world participate by now. Become one of them!
