Description

We have this big shiny download button on the website home page. However, the typical workflow is:

  • Find Haiku homepage
  • Navigate a bit to see what it's all about (look at screenshots, for example)
  • Decide to download

At this point it is not obvious that you must go back to the homepage to find the download link again.

Still an issue on the new site.

Maybe not obvious (but what would be? An icon saying "Get Haiku!"?), but it's on every page: top right, first icon.

One idea is replace the package/cd "Get" icon on the top-right of every page with the green down arrow that's associated with "Get" on the front page. Currently you have 2 different icons for the same page/task, which is confusing.

Also, those 3 icons without labels are not user friendly because you need to hover your cursor over to understand what they are. You could add one-word labels below them in the style of Haiku desktop icons: "Get" "Contact" "Donate"

Or, remove those 3 buttons altogether and move their functionality elsewhere, such as into the main nav.
