[kdewebdev-site] New Design

I was unsatisfied with my last attempt, so I made a new design. This one is 
much more professional looking, IMHO. I went for a design that wouldn't 
require a lot of images. This design would only use 7-8 images (depending on 
if you made the KDEWebDev text an image (I suggest that to be done)).

The feel I was going for is sleek, simple, professional, usable (eg. no 
"where's this or that?"), and stylish. Something that made the viewer 
say/think "Hey, if they can do this in Quanta+, then imagine what *I* could 
do!"

I think I've accomplished what I wanted.

You'll notice the curves aren't great, but I don't think that will take away 
from the overall design.

Also, you note the (total of) 6 blocks in the bottom corners. If content 
cannot be created for each, I would imagine that screenshots or what-have-you 
would make a good replacement without uglifying it.

Main content should go in the center, of course. Navigation would change 
troughout, but stay consistent in some manner (like "Home" being the first 
tab, "Contact" being the last tab, etc.).

kdewebdev_template.svg is what the portal would look like.
kdewebdev_quanta.svg is what a <tool>.kdewebdev.org site would look like.
(Minor, but noticable, difference.)

Note: This uses the Baekmut Batang font.
Note2: I saved these as an Inkscape SVG, so they may look different with a 
standard SVG viewer.
