|fbContent=Thank you for sharing your test release of the Buddha Nature page. I've just taken a brief look today, so I'll just give you my initial impressions, so don't take them with much weight.

The design of the sight is very beautiful. Excellent really in terms of themes, color, backgrounds, etc...

One thing, the text appearing over transparent over the line art backgrounds, while very aesthetically pleasing, does create a distraction to read.

My other critique, perhaps some more thought could be put into the audiences entrance into the material, from the front page there seems to be two links for "Discover" and "Explore". The presentations these links lead down seem good and the summaries are well written, but maybe feel a bit un-parsimonious. Like suddenly there are some videos thrown at you, but why are you selecting these videos in particular, as a viewer, how should I engage with this, it felt a bit disorienting. I'm not sure what the solution is, I realize you are making this site for a very wide range of audiences (people new to Buddhism, practitioners, scholars, and researches). Maybe try to make these entrances more explicit, I don't know. Maybe as a reader, particularly if I am approaching the site as a practitioner, or someone new to Buddhism, I would want a more linear presentation for how to engage with the material. Maybe that is my own personality though.

I also had the impression like I couldn't get a clear view of all the resources: The library tab, resources tab, and literature tab, branch into overlapping menus, which makes me feel like I am perhaps missing something in one of the other menus. I don't know what the solution here is either, I know you have a lot of resources to organize and present, but maybe add some thought into this.

Anyways, these are just initial critiques that I came up with, I felt like I should cook something up to say, so I tried to think of what could be improved. But otherwise this is really beautiful, I most appreciate the access and presentation to the symposium and then have the sources and articles related to those nearby. Also as always the design is really superb, and the transitions through the website are quite eloquent despite the organizational issues, and readability issues I mentioned.

Thanks so much for sharing. I'll be sure to look deeper when I have some time and add anything else that comes to mind.
