This is the previous design from 10 years ago:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20060421204854&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reactos.org&#x2F;en&#x2F;index.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;web.archive.org&#x2F;web&#x2F;20060421204854&#x2F;http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reacto...</a><p>It certainly looks dated, but compared to the new design there are a few good things about it:<p>- High information density<p>- Screenshot at the top<p>- Link to legal review and licenses (questions that any enterprise customer would have)<p>- No gratuitous animation sequences<p>I wonder if it would have been possible to update the ReactOS site&#x27;s design while retaining its informational quality. Just improving the typography and working on the padding between boxes could have made a real difference.<p>More generally, I wish the tide of web design trends would turn towards information density once again. Edward Tufte, a legend in the field and proponent of visual density, famously called PowerPoint presentations &quot;chart junk&quot; because they spend slide after slide on charts with minimal information in each.<p>Modern websites willingly do the same, forcing the user to scroll through a dozen screenfuls just to glean some basic information about a product. Animation makes this even worse, because the user has to sit and wait while the site slowly delivers information in animated word-sized chunks.
