[Cc-webedit] New Website - Design Concept!

[Jonathan Leighton]

Now for my own comments...

* Love the typography :)
* "Put the date in your diary" and "There are lots of ways to get
involved with Climate Camp" could both be way more punchy. I'd suggest
"Find out more" and "Get involved!"
* Blog - the photos are nice, but the reality is that it will probably
be a small group of people writing the blog and so the same faces all
the time. So I would suggest dropping them. I would also drop "Written
by" and "Tags", and agree with Jody about dropping the date (on the
front page). Basically, I'm keen for it to be very simple.
* I imagine the titles "From the blog", "Press releases", "Climate
campers online", etc being links out to these areas. Can it be made more
obvious that they are links?
* I don't think having the title "Highlights" is necessary.
