HCoop's web sites have a very drab appearance at the moment. We need to come up with a visual appearance that will attract potential members.

1. Web site scheme

We need an attractive unifying design scheme for our web sites, including hcoop.net, wiki.hcoop.net, and members.hcoop.net.

Here is a [http://borat.gotdns.org/hcoop.php basic site] with CSS dropdown navigation. I chose a lot of the parameters arbitrarily, such as menu items, colors, and sizes. I need to add a javascript doodad to cope with IE's broken CSS implementation. Please view with a Gecko / KHTML browser to get the dropdown effects until then. The logo (header) area I swept out was 100x770px. -- RickHull
- I don't think the "dropdown navigation" adds anything over always having all links displayed. The overall layout with the boxes at the top and then normal texty layout below looks uglier than plain boring text, to me. Also, the color scheme drives me out of my mind. --AdamChlipala

2. Logo

We need one or more distinctive HCoop logos that we can use in suitable places.

See LogoDiscussion for some potential logos.
