Mozilla Website Beta

1 comment

As Steven announced earlier today, we've just launched a beta redesign of the Mozilla website. We're looking for debugging help and feedback from everyone before we launch the new design.

As some people have kindly noted, the front page content of the beta site has not yet been updated. This will certainly happen in the very near future, so hang onto your hats.

If you'd like to help us out, please read the full post at the top of this thread on Mozillazine and then post there if you see any bugs or omissions. Browser testing is especially important. Thanks.

Mozilla beta is looking nice! The store is a nice compliment as well. I like the tone of your crew's design work. The only thing I think is missing from both the current site and your beta is a more personal touch. I'm not sure how else to say that, but somehow I feel that Mozilla would benefit from being able to grab more people at a glance, yeknow? I'm not sure what I'm advocating, I guess, since I think most things should rest on their merits, not a warm, fuzzy feeling.

It's good work. Keep it up. :)

Daniel Burka

My name is Daniel Burka. I'm a web designer living in San Francisco. Currently, I'm the director of design with a startup called Tiny Speck and for several years I was the creative director at Digg. I grew up in PEI, Canada, where I was one of the founders of silverorange. Aside from obsessing about interface design and css selectors, I'm a frequently-falling rock climber, a lazy cyclist, and an often out-of-bounds disc golfer.

Summary

I'm a web designer living in San Francisco, California. I sometimes get the chance to present lectures and workshops at conferences around the world, where I speak about iterative design strategies, designing for large online communities, and more broadly about interface design for web applications. I've posted many of the slides from past presentations I've done on Slideshare.

Currently, I'm the director of design at a small gaming startup called Tiny Speck. Until October 2009, I was the creative director at Digg. I was also one of the co-founders of the social content-sharing site Pownce, which is now a part (heh heh) of Six Apart. Back in 1999, I helped found silverorange, a stellar web development and design firm based in Prince Edward Island, Canada. I continue to work with silverorange, but as an inactive partner.

This Blog

The technology that powers this blog was built by silverorange on their Swat open-source web application toolkit. I'm no longer working on day-to-day projects at silverorange, but they're available for hire if you're looking for top-notch interface design or web application development.
