Hi Tim, Here are my thoughts:
1. The main message "it worked" has given his placement to a log, leaving the user to focus on the image when the page loads. This can leave the user wondering if it worked until they see the lwords "The Install Worked". Congratulations. reload the page, what is the first thing your eyes will focus on? 2. The simple (it worked) message is now a longer "The Install Worked", congratulations. Keep in mind the word "Worked" is the main message 3. The current design delivers the message clearly. It worked. Nothing more, nothing less. The new design offers additional info and links in the bottom of the page which is really nice and helpful for the new users. So well done there. I would keep the current simple message "it worked" and also, more importantly, its placement. As a new user, nothing is more rewarding to immediately see it worked message as soon as the page loads. And thank you for all your efforts. Darius On Tuesday, 18 April 2017 11:44:13 UTC-4, Tim Allen wrote: > > I've had the privilege of introducing Django to many people over the past > several years.
