Hello,
Some may have or not noticed that we are currently making changes to the way our website works and looks, by adding more helpfull content & information to make your experience with Opencart® much easyer and stress-free.
You can find our brand new documentation section here:
http://www.opencart.com/index.php?route ... troduction
We would love to know what you would like on the opencart® website and also what you think it should look like in the future, I would like to think that everyone's opinion counts.
So! if you have any ideas on colours, themes, content, and features please press "Reply"

Hi,
Can the contributions section of the website be categorised by version rather than having all of them mixed up together.
Phil.

Hi,
Can the website have an additional area that lists commercial solutions again by the version of OpenCart they were written for.
Phil.

I can confirm there will be a new contribution section built into the site for premium and free modules, templates, languages etc.

In terms of colour - a dark grey/ light grey combination will work well with the red that you are currently using. I would avoid the blue splash that you've currently got and replace it with something that fits better. I think you should try and adopt a more modern approach to the front page... as much as I hate to say it more like Magento.
In terms of the logo, I would avoid the courier type face. I've attached an example of something thats a bit bolder, just a thought.
Great product though, easy to manipulate. Well done!

We have a new logo created already
The colour scheme will be most likely bassed around this logo.

The new website looks nice, clean and simple.
I noticed it uses the same MVC framework as Opencart itself
Just one minor request:
Could the contributions sections be improved? It should become subject to a login account, or at least a capcha. Also, it would be nice if contribution authors could remove old versions of a contribution.

A new contributions section is being created & will enable developers to manage the documents.

Site looks nice, though I'm biased towards cute icons, hehe.
Thank god you're changing the logo though. That looks more like Times New Roman than Courier, and well, I have nothing positive to say about TNR...

Release time line?
Be good to see where developers are at in the development stage so we know when future releases are coming and also see what's going to be coming in them.

I second that motion, would be very useful to see where they are in development even though the timeline might stop and start etc.

I think the website is looking more elegant that some website that I’ve seen today. It could be easier to navigate the website. It looks really simple but as every one says that the content is more important that the image.
