Not sure if this is the best approach, I still have to test it myself. Or the video can be embedded somewhere below the download button and directly displayed instead of a text link.

Re: FreeCAD Website Design
I tried the modal dialog approach for embedding youtube videos and from my testing the video plays fine when I open it, the only problem is when I try to close the dialog, the video (and audio) still keeps playing in the background. I have checked the Bootstrap documentation and they don't have a out-of-the box solution for this, so I think some javascript is required to manually stop the video. I will see if I can find a solution.

Re: FreeCAD Website Design
Currently there are a few links in the footer but the navbar contains none (except for the link to the forum). Also I assume some links such as the google+ community are not needed? I will add the links as you suggested, but don't you think these links are better in the footer than the navbar?Kunda1 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 4:24 pm Unrelated to above but still relevant:

Re: FreeCAD Website Design
I think they have a place in both. For the attention deficit crowd, I think navbar makes sense.AR795 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2019 8:04 am Currently there are a few links in the footer but the navbar contains none (except for the link to the forum).

Re: FreeCAD Website Design
Having too much links on navbar, that likely makes less sense.
Re: FreeCAD Website Design
I think having a dropdown menu in the navbar would solve the problem. Currently there is a link to the forum, but it can just be called 'Community' and the dropdown menu would display the links to different websites, something like this:
And the footer can also contain the links:
I was able to find all the FreeCAD social media links except for matrix/riot, which I am not sure about. Also about the GitHub stars, I am not sure how to include that information.

Re: FreeCAD Website Design
I'm not absolutely sure about it, but I think that this forum is the most important platform. Can this be made visible with
- making Forum the first entry in the list (I guess yes)
- typeset Forum in bold?

Re: FreeCAD Website Design
Yes, it is possible. I have updated the images in my last post.
