Design a new website landing page for BRL-CAD #5BRL-CAD
Status: ClosedTime to complete: 100 hrs Mentors: Harmanpreet, Ch3ckTags: web, javascript, js, html, design, css

The website of BRL-CAD is undergoing significant changes. We have a design mockup at http://cpp-tricks.com/brlcad/ and http://beta.brlcad.org but there are various aspects that we know could use improvement. One of those is the main page that will be presented when someone goes to http://brlcad.org

This style guide can be use for consistency or you can try to impress us with something different: http://www.google-melange.com/gci/work/download/google/gci2013/5844328496758784?id=5649050225344512

Redesign the front page of our web site. The only requirement is to adhere to a consistent visual style and make it impressive. Be creative. The output should be 2 design files, one for large screen, and one for small screens (e.g., mobile). The format can be images or html/css/javascript mockup.

Submit your design in whatever raw editable format you used along with a screenshot in png format. Also submit a brief write-up (this can be a txt file upload or detailed in a comment) telling us why is it an improvement over existing design.

Deepak on December 12 2014 17:56 UTCGood but ...

Hello Marioscappini,


You give a good try to it but there are certain things that needs to be amended so as to make it better certain improvements are needed like



  • Menu items (Home, Downloads, ...) are shifted towards the right which needs to be in center.

  • Spellings of "Downloads" are wrong.

  • There are certain problem in design, when I scroll down and then up it seems that there is certain fluctuations on the screen.

  • You must add images related to BRL-CAD rather than others in Gallery, also you must maintain consistency while adding the images (all in same shape).

  • Instead of "Don't have an account yet Sign in!" it should be like "Don't have an account yet Sign Up!".

Mario, this is an *impressive* amount of work.  You definitely went above and beyond designing more than a landing page.  Even your landing page (index.html) is visually interesting has much conceptual appeal.  Thank you so much for your efforts!  You'd do well on our web design team...


I hope you'll consider trying some of our other web design tasks.  There are a bunch of others already and we're going to be adding a lot more of them after this weekend.
