Site Architecture and Design

• What is CC; Why is it compelling?
• How can I use/understand CC easily and efficiently?

Information and Content

• Overview
  • An average, non-technical, person should be able to come to CC.ORG, and very quickly find out the basics of what CC provides and how it can help him. As it stands, a first time visitor has a hard time digging into the dense information currently provided.

• Ideally, less words up front.
  • People new to CC would probably prefer bite sized introductions, and pictures — compelling hooks to allow them to learn and, hopefully, disseminate to friends, colleagues, students. Long articles describing what CC is, and what the licenses are, etc. are great for those who already know about CC.

• Videos easy to find

Theme and Layout

License Chooser

• Updated results page

Deeds
