Hi everyone!
We're going to be working on some improvements to the WCA website in the near future. As part of these changes, we are considering a new design, and we're looking for ideas.
The website currently consists of a few systems: the Results system (custom-built), the forum (phpBB), and the homepage (Drupal). These systems all have their own themes at the moment, but we would like have a more uniform look. This could mean one consistent all-encompassing design, or it could mean a different but similarly-branded theme for each individual system.
We would like to open this up to the community for ideas, and invite submissions for new designs. Design submissions can be intended for one system only, or can be intended for all systems. Whichever design(s) we like best, we will use on the WCA website.
We would like any designs to have the following qualities:
* Reflect the simplicity of the current Results system
* Reflect the motif of the current Results system
* Improve the usability of a system's design
* Improve the accessibility of a system's design
* Function well on mobile devices and small screens, as well as large
Submissions should only contain HTML, CSS, Javascript, and a minimal number of images. Submissions should also have minimal w3c validation errors, while still appearing as consistent as possible across all modern browsers.
If your design is selected for use, aside from seeing your design on the website, you will also receive a Rubik's plushie! Designs should be posted on a publicly visible website, and linked to in this thread. Designs should also be submitted to http://www.worldcubeassociation.org/design-submissions. We will be accepting submissions until Nov. 30, 2012. Feel free to submit as many entries as you like.
Please post any questions or comments here, or direct them to [email protected].
Thanks!
