Potential Ideas for Site and Layout

Option A  (From Nick Rosser) Take a look at netsuite.com. Notice how they organize their main navbar:

     Products (for us, could be features / solutions or similar)
     Customers
     Solutions (note the "By Role", exactly to Adrian's point there is CEO  / CFO / CIO)
     Platform
     Services (for OFBiz, this could be "Resources")
     Partners (SI's?)
     Company (History, Intro Committers and other key contributors?)

Option B (From Taher Alkateeb)

Okay so based on your feedback and everyone's input, I have the following ideas in mind:

main features

=============

• - First, we introduce bootstrap to make it a responsive website and re-align everything with the grid system
• - We introduce a modern design, this includes at a minimum a unified header, footer and main menu (and possibly a secondary menu) unified across the entire site
• - A more powerful and flashy slider on the main page to showcase the framework. I prefer the mega sliders that fill up almost the entire page
• - Big buttons and icons
• - Much less text, much more pictures and animation
• - We need artwork, some of which can be purchased for marginal costs (photos, graphics, etc ...)

Now to give a lot of space for your "marketing" pitch in the main page, a lot of things need to either be deleted or moved to other locations, so the website structure is of crucial importance. For example, we can redesign the main menu to look something like this:

main menu structure

===================

- Main

- Getting Started

  - Download (which version to download and dependencies)

  - Install (how to step by step for installation)

  - My First Component (A hello world component with a single screen)

- Documentation

  - User Documentation

  - Technical Documentation

  - Wiki

  - API Reference

- Community

  - Getting Involved

  - Meetups and Events

  - Mailing Lists

  - Source Repository

  - Issue Tracker

- About

  - Features (put screenshots here)

  - FAQ

  - Members

  - License

  - Who uses OFBiz

Footer Features

===============

- social media links

- secondary links less often used

- possible replication of the main menu

That's what I have for now, I hope it's useful
