Hi all,

The registration site currently has some design issues. I know that time is
short, so I don't want to nitpick too much, but it would be good to try and
make some improvements if possible.

Issues

   - Horizontal alignment is off in a number of places - the menu items,
   skyline graphic, section headings are not aligned
   - Too many font sizes and styles
   - Not enough vertical spacing between sections throughout, in particular
   below the hero text and between sections on the main "management" page
   - It's not really clear what the main menu items are for, other than log
   out. The first one takes you to a different website.
   - The button icons are duplicated in places. The icons rarely help to
   identify an action.
   - "Current registrations" is more of an admin feature - it doesn't fit
   in for regular attendees.
   - There's a general model of having to navigate to pages to find
   information, rather than it being placed on the main page. Sometimes this
   leads to dead ends - "view your submitted talks" is shown whether you've
   submitted talks or not. Same with "view accepted talks".
   - The footer probably contains too many items.

Here are some mockups that try to address these issues (they also include
the proposals I drew up for the registration form last week):

I'd like to stress that these have been thrown together very quickly, and
just try to address the issues I've outlined above. I'm sure someone could
do a better job.

Thanks,

Allan
