Hi guys,
a week ago or so, I red that the new website is in the making.
Now I thought that I may share my humble opinion (not requesting anything) on crypto-websites in general.
Most of them contain a lot of blah-blah and fancy pictures, saying basically nothing... eye candy without any value.
In order to stand out from all those fancy ICO presentations, I would personally love to see an extremely simple and clean website, sparing out all the useless eye-candy.

(Like years ago, Google was the search engine with the simplest design - no eye-candy, nothing that distracted the user...)

What's your (@all Elastic fans) opinion on that matter?

Content is important obviously, but visuals too.
These 2 websites have nice balance imo, don't they?
https://xel.org
https://xeline.org

(This one http://elastic.pw/ looks abandoned, and just forwards to xel.org hub.)

As far as I understand, xeline.org is more like a fan page. Not the official web site.
It's a very nice fan page but for the official web site, for my taste, it would be better not to use blue text on dark blue background and not to put a big generic picture that says nothing on the first page.

I didn't know about xel.org up until now, but there are to many bright colors for my taste (it hurts my eyes).
It's only my personal taste, but I like very simple designs without (or, at least, less aggressive) colors. I think that a more "scientific" style would also fit perfectly to the Elastic project.

I am aware that this is merely a matter of taste. Therefore more opinions would be great Wink

Well since the project is really decentralized without any real leader, the webpages are most probably both community driven and everyone is doing their best to support the project in their way. I really appreciate both and can't wait to see some proposed functions added
