Debian website redesign proposal
A resource for documenting, developing and discussing the design proposal. My initial text will attempt to explain the structure and thoughts underlying the the design to enable other to contribute and critique.
The aim for the design was to create a light robust and elegant site.
Architecture
Files
- debian.css
- deb$(subdomain).css
- changes to backend templates
The proposal works by having one global debian.css that should be the same for every subdomain and backend. Site specific tweaks and overrides are then added in a separate css file following the deb$(subdomain).css naming convention. The subdomains link to their css file which in turn includes the debian.css file via a @import line at the top of the css file.
