Brand-new Tarzan website is now live!

Tarzan — the first product to graduate from our internal WarpShare Labs — now has a shiny new website to replace the janky one we had over at Google Code. Tarzan has grown up quite a bit since we started working on it in earnest in July 2007, and even since we open-sourced it back in April 2008. Now it has a big boy website to go with it!

One of the things I learned in my experience working on SimplePie was that presentation is, indeed, everything. It wasn’t until we launched http://simplepie.org in January 2006 that the project really began to take off in a big way. We’re hoping to replicate that success with the new http://tarzan-aws.com site.

In addition to making a better looking website, we also wanted one that was more useful, more user-friendly. The homepage now has a straight-forward description of what Tarzan is, and includes “calls-to-action” for a variety of typical tasks. We have a new customized wiki, documentation that lives on the same web server as everything else, a good-looking yet detailed description of many of Tarzan’s features, and links to the various ways to stay in-touch with what’s going on in the project. The guts of the project (subversion repository and the package downloads) are still on Google Code, but we’re okay with that for now.

We’ll be tweaking and tuning the site over the next few days, but we believe that this will be a solid platform from which to build a successful project. If you haven’t seen the new site yet, check it out!
