1375730 - Differentiate different sections of the home page in a better way

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(developer.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Design, enhancement)

Description

[Kaartic Sivaraam]

What feature should be changed? Please provide the URL of the feature if possible.
==================================================================================
The distinction between the sections in home page should be better.

What problems would this solve?
===============================
Allows people to easily identify main content from rest of the clutter which isn't possible with the current distinction.

Who would use this?
===================
Everyone who differentiates between sections without paying careful attention to smaller things (distinctions).

What would users see?
=====================
A page that's distinguished in a better way allowing them to differentiate between the main content and the other parts of the site

What would users do? What would happen as a result?
===================================================
People would easily identify the main content and would be prevented fro being distracted by the rest of the page.

Is there anything else we should know?
======================================
The new design of MDN looks great. A small thing that nags me is the fact that there's very little distinction between any part of the home page except for the footer. It would be better to distinguish them in a better way. I guess a better set of colors should be used to differentiate between the different kind of pages
