I just created https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/769, which shifts the majority of dlang.org's look and feel to CSS styles.

With this work in tow, we get to use classic CSS styling to improve the look and feel of the site.

Please review. I'll be also looking forward to new styling ideas!

Redesign happens if somebody does it. By that definition, this is it. -- Andrei

As for the time being, this is pretty much it. I hope this will also spur others into action. -- Andrei

For those interested in contributing, here's the repo for the redesign effort: https://github.com/w0rp/new-dlang.org

Is there a place where this can be seen?

Sadly it seems there hasn't been an update in a while. Things should be easier to integrate now that we have dub running.

But I'd say the way to go is make room for things one at a time. For examples I just created https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dlang.org/pull/776 which exposes additional elements to styling. Please review :o).

Disclaimer: I'm in no way involved with this. AFAIK, this is almost completely w0rp's effort.

I agree.

Quick question: how's the website synced ATM ? Is it some post-commit hook, manual, cron job ?
The redesign use a Vibe.d webserver. I'm wondering whether this is a possibility for dlang.org.

I don't know about others but for me the layout above looks more attractive than the actual one.

In fact yesterday I was showing the main page for a friend on his smartphone (Moto G), and the code example at main page looks awful, since it's all wrapped on mobile. Here is an example what I'm talking about:

make rebase -j && make clean && make rsync -j

make clean is a complete bear. All - please make dub generation better.

I think it is. I will explore that with our webmaster. But beware - the least productive thing right now is yet another project I need to work on.
