David Gileadi was kind enough to spend some time redesigning the look of the D web site. A preview of it is up on d-programming-language.org. This isn't about the content, just the look/style/feel.

Comments welcome.

Please don't put links to anything other than the front page yet, as the organization may change.

The text is borderline illegible, due to poor contrast combined with a small text size.

What browser are you using? In IE it renders well, and I'm picky about that sort of thing.

Looks very good.

A couple things:

1) can the library generated docs be made to match?

2) Once I clicked on Language Reference link, I had a hard time then finding the Library Reference link.  Can the higher level links be made more distinct?  Maybe bold or have a slightly different background color?

I tried both Konqueror and Firefox and found the body text to look bad, worse in Firefox (probably because I set konqueror to ignore font sizes specified in websites, but the color there didn't make me happy either).

On Internet Explorer, the size looks OK, but the menu text has poor contrast. The mouse hover color looks better than the regular color.

Yah, I'll put a target in the makefile to automatically upload the latest and greatest dox to the site. I'm also thinking of distributing a script for eager users to update to the cutting edge version of Phobos.

The menu on the left has too much low contrast.

The text column on the right looks too much narrow, it wastes some space on the right.

The Add to or comment on this page on the wiki / Translate this page: thingie is too much intrusive and too much wordy. That's not the right place.

Note: really small fonts != stylish site.

Please looks at your site with Firefox too.

I did, it looks the same.

I like it visually but I found it to hard to find the documentation (The language and lib documentation root pages should be linked from all pages).
