ArthurBest wishes,I've chosen a minimalist approach and the focus was on readability - although the white background doesn't help much, I couldn't find a better solution. The content for the homepage is drawn from users comments on this thread (they are merely illustrative, although make sense to me).Hi all!Since Tim's first proposal I've been thinking a lot about CHICKEN's website. Here are my two cents.
Homepage

Most modifications were done to chicken.css file, so changes are immediately applicable to probably 90% of CHICKEN site (exceptions are api.call-cc.org and bugs.call-cc.org). To make the page "responsive" to narrow screens (i.e. mobiles) we would need to add one line of HTML into pages. This line is already inserted in the .html files on the https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/621606/chicken-web-page/chicken-web-page.tar.gz bundle. It contains many .html files and I recommend opening "CHICKEN Scheme.html" first. The menu on this page has some directly browsable links ("Get started!" link at the bottom can also be clicked).Do you find it useful?
PS: Tim, sorry for not continuing on your proposal. As I'm a newbie on web design, I preferred to stick with current code and modify it step by step, so I could understand what I was doing. Thanks for inspiration, especially on the grid section! And sorry for proposing something much simpler than your original design.
