Web site design

   Guillaume Schaeffer who earlier designed an alternate icon for
SciTE also produced a design for the SciTE web site. While it is more
attractive than the current site, I tend to see web site design from a
programmer's point of view prioritising the informational text, so
don't like to see fixed width columns where information is hidden when
the window is narrow.

Well, the column is already narrow, so you must have a very small window 
to hide text... And you can still scroll or maximize the window.
But if the text was longer, it is a waste of space when printing, unless 
designing a special print stylesheet.

I find it nice too, although the dark orange text on black background is 
a bit hard on my old eyes...

The banner is a bit strange. "Editor for X"?
And I prefer when SciTE is correctly capitalized... I saw to many Scite 
or SciTe or other variants... Nice font here.

   Most of the text is from the main site but with some capitalisation
changes. X is used for the X Window System. It could say Linux but
SciTE also runs on other Unix like operating systems and even some
like OpenVMS that aren't based on Unix but run X and have enough POSIX
compatibility to run most of SciTE.

While I somewhat agree with Neil about fixed width, I must say the design is very nice. Only thing is I'd
center it on the window instead of left-aligning.
My 2 cents.

I like the icon.

The "new" website kills my colorblind eyes because of the red on black.

Looks very nice. I would center the image
and fit the text in the browser window
(so it's not fixed width). Right-aligned text
should be used in the header only.
Don't use two columns, "ChangeLog"
on the main page makes little sense.
My 3 eurocents.
