[Cc-webedit] New Website - Design Concept!

[Emily James]

Over all, I think it's looking very good!

I do agree with a the sentiment expressed by others that it could be a
little more simplified, with a little less text and a little more image.

I'd love to see a video embed from Climate Camp TV on the home page. Maybe
in the 'Highlights' section, but ideally it's own little permanent space.

We have a few films ready already that can fill the space until more comes
on-line before and during camp.

Vision on TV have a video player that can be embeded for this purpose.

When you are ready, Hamish and I have in-put for the Climate Camp TV
page/site. We aren't even sure if you are planning to have a page, but we
can either build it and simply link in to you, or you, hopefully, will be
able to be more involved (we don't want to ad to your already heavy load).

Looking good.

Emily
