Starting with my first impression of the Fedora docs page:

  • So many blue blocks feel overwhelming and too much to take in.
  • The grey banners give a dull and boring look.
  • Darker text on a light background is always easier to read as compared to the opposite. (Accessibility is important).
  • The icons in the top right corner might get overlooked easily.
  • Someone searching for a particular topic/subtopic would not be able to find it easily as subtopics are not mentioned and there is no search bar as well.

My Improvements and proposal:

  • Gave the page a simple and clean look, and did not use any other color apart from the 2 blues.
  • Reduced the overall width of the page so that it is easier to scan/read.
  • Completed removed the block design to give more white space and breathing room.
    • Mentioned subtopics also on the front page itself so that they can be found easily
  • Added a search bar, where keywords can be searched directly.
  • Improved the footer by placing the 3 links/icons (history, edit, report) there
    • Because I felt that someone would first go through the page and then find a bug to report or decide to see the history or edit.
  • Added the fedora logo as the watermark which looks good according to me.
