    On GeneralAntilles' request, I have spent some time designing the lite version of the maemo.org site. The basic layout can be seen here:

    http://fms.komkon.org/MaemoMain.html

    Please note that it is layout only (not much graphics) and it includes all pages on one page. Should work very well on a tablet or an S60 phone. Still work in progress though.

    Just had a quick look, and liked it, except on my laptop the brown/pink font colour is a bit hard to read on the white background. A little bit darker I'd prefer. On NIT it looks great.

    Looks good I just had one question I though a few months ago a lot of people didn't like having 2 layouts for one website because everyone said a well designed website didn't need a lite version. Have we finally decided that the full web on the NIT isn't really all that full? Don't get me wrong I love both ideas and I love the idea of a lite version. I agree that its needed thats why I did the minimalistic theme for itT and I am working on lite/tablets version of all my sites.

    I was just wondering if the community is shifting its view, and we are going to start making tablet version websites?

    So why 2 maemo.org layouts why not one that just runs well on tablets?

    @Bundyo: I really like the first mockup (even if I still have to test it on the tablet), really. Totally my tastes.

    But you should rework your HTML. To test the HTML of a website, I launch Firefox and use View -> no style to see the page without the CSS. If the website is still readable and you can still use it, it's ok (see the actual maemo.org for example).

    I keep in mind that it's only a mockup, but give it a try and you'll see how easier it is to build a clear CSS.

    Keep up the good work!

    A very good point, but I don't think Bundyo should worry too much about it for the mockup. It'll likely need a bit of work to mesh with Midgard, so the HTML can be cleaned up then.

    I'm more worried about style and layout.

    I like it for the most part, nice and fresh.

    The only thing that bothers me (and only slightly) are the colors. It's a bit too bright for the most part (for my tastes at least).

    If you're going to keep the colors, at least make the text a bit darker... add some contrast


    Otherwise, I don't mind the js, infact I like it. It's effective, not slow at all; an efficient way to organize all that navigation (we can argue back and forth all day on this, but in my opinion it works)

    Personal verdict: 87%

    Have you tried it on the tablet? Or on a slow computer? JS for the sake of JS is a bad plan.

    If I could add something, I would try to avoid any behavior based on the "mouse over" event, since the tablet doesn't handle it (yet).

    I just took a look at it on the tablet and it looks really awesome, and quick.
    Good work!
