Here is my feedback: the blue header is best, very readable and the horizontal menu below the title seems better than below the logo. I think there are a bit too many links, I would only put the following as a start: Home, Online Demo, Contribute!, Download, Resources, Blog, Consulting.

The link to download would still say .zip and the size in MB to let users know what to expect. I think the red box is also a good thing as we're trying hard that users download the product and try it out.

The main modification would be to keep the existing Piwik logo - We haven't yet taken a decision about it and would like to keep this one for now (with the colors and without graphics).

Maybe it would be good to have a dropdown main menu. For example, Download would drop down to

• Download .zip 2MB
• Changelog
• SVN

Resources would drop down to

• Documentation
• FAQ
• Forums
• Blog

etc.
The right menu below the horizontal would have the main other links: Press Review, Download Counter, Builds archive, etc.

For technical matters, I think the ideal would be to have a Wordpress self conained theme (as is currently the case with the theme we are using) with the style modifications.

Thoughts?

My thoughts...

• I agree with your points.
• The blue header is also my favourite.
• I could not find a Contact Us.
• Change the word Contribute to something like Collaborate/Participate? (Contribute has a connotation to Donation for me).
• The Download dropdown menu could also include previous (maybe even beta and RC versions).
• Somewhere (perhaps under the "Contribute/Participate" page we could have a "jobs at Piwik" section.
• If we are looking for more input on the logo... perhaps we could run a contest?
• Note sure what you mean by a Self Contained WP theme - please explain.
• What theme is this one (the blue header one) ?
• I think that bbPress is certainly a strong candidate for the forum side of things.

Self contained theme is only stating the obvious: that the CSS and HTML must be inside a WP theme.

For the logo, we can run a contest but I think the current logo is OK and can do for now.

This is not an existing theme but a custom made mockup for Piwik.org (just a mockup, the css/html is not written yet).

A couple of thoughts:

• Perhaps consolidate some of the horizontal menu items with the "Other Pages" items.
• I would change the Twitter / Facebook links to largish icons.
• Need to include "Subscribe to RSS" (could also be graphical)
• Also need a "Contact Us".
• What about a footer?

These website mockups will not be followed up but we will be working with a new designer
