The page of donations: [Elive Donations](https://www.elivecd.org/donate/) has been updated, you may not remember how it was before but I changed the position (order) of all the elements, the patreon is less obtrusive and the page a little bit more beautiful, more explained and organized :applause:

Another page improved, the beta downloads: [Elive - Beta Download](https://www.elivecd.org/download/beta/)

_Before the modification, the first thing you have seen was directly the downloads_

Following the concept of what originally was on the old websites of elive (sorry, [archive.org](http://archive.org) seems to not work since days), first there was the list of new features / improvements / description and THEN after that, the downloads

basically I moved the second row which showed details / features and screenshots, to the first one, and then the downloads to the second row

UX / psychologically speaking, it is a good thing? well, the most important thing is to give the downloads so the user can download, but being so direct can make people feel the system "less worth" _(just another os download)_, instead, by showing first the good things, it will make the users **desire more** to download, increasing the importance and value of the distro... at which cost? just adding an extra step, the scroll in the page to get the download (which is in fact a common thing everywhere)

Probably lots of people even missed this beautiful details section, not anymore! lol

Notes:

- the size of the screenshots has been increased, bigger is better 🙂
- the e16 description is included twice in 2 different forms, I assume it can be put in a single summarized one in the details
- there's a small kind of **bug** in the page where you cannot scroll the page until is fully loaded, maybe caused by the "screenshots sliding effect", but i don't think is a too much important thing, it gives an extra seconds to the user to read / see that section before he can go down 🤔

Questions:

- does the page feels slow to load for you?
- ~~should be the third row put before the downloads too? (the one with instructions and technical details)~~ - DONE
