Beautification of database

[rmamarshall]

@tcouch
Hi Tom,
As the database is more of less 'there', would it be possible to start thinking about the aesthetic side of things - logos, background, etc.? I know this is something that has been touched on in the past, but Valentina would like to revisit these questions now that the functionality of the system has been dialled in. What sort of information do you need form us, and what do we need to know?

Best wishes,
Richard

Sorry @rmamarshall I forgot to raise this in our meeting earlier. I'd suggest the best thing to do would be to start gathering together inspiration for how you'd like the site to look:

• Are there other websites you like the overall look of?
• Are there particular parts of other websites' user interface you'd like to adopt? (widgets, forms, menus etc.)
• Any colours, textures, motifs, fonts, images you'd like to incorporate?

Idea: make sections (doesn't have to be all) on detail pages collapsible, this would prevent scrolling through lots of content
