LDK Website

[GBKS]

The team behind the Lightning Development Kit is looking to improve their website. It is currently using the Docusaurus default theme.

The initial ask was to replace the icons on the landing page, as well as the logo, which then turned into a larger branding and web design exercise.

It's good to note that this issue is blocked by the branding. First, we'd need a logo and branding, website, as is, could be improved, but for any major overhaul, it would probably be a good idea to wait, as there may be some architectural changes to the site, however, the mocks/designs shouldn't be influenced by that, however the way in which information is structured/presented may be influenced.

When you say "replace the icons", do you mean these ones?

@pavlenex set up a board for this project to track activities and progress.

To provide an update on this. Both the LDK and BDK sites are live with the new logo and theme.

The Figma file with the latest design source is here.

@ConorOkus are there any outstanding tasks, or anything coming up you can think of?

Thanks for updating @GBKS.

Nothing in the short term, but updates will be being made to the landing pages to include some case studies e.g BlueWallet for LDK.

So we should start thinking about designs for that soon.
