As a site visitor I want to easily navigate to content focused on my persona.

[sheaphillips]

Need to review front page design and navigation so it supports role-based navigation.

As a point of reference, they've done a nice job here: https://www.gov.uk/service-manual

A mid-fidelity mockup of the home page redesign is:

@kelpisland: for the current sprint, I intend to adapt the home page within the existing app to use this layout, vs. re-homing portions of the app in GitHub pages, since this would be a little disruptive and hasn't been fully walked through from a process/workflow implication perspective.

[kelpisland]

OK - sounds good to me. As part of our retrospective let's bring the GH Pages approach to the table for discussion with the larger group.

[sheaphillips]

@kelpisland - also, see #217 for some elaboration on "aligning content change workflows", which is connected to the GitHub pages thing a bit - i.e. some changes could be made through Github pages, but even there, there would be different categories requiring different skills. Also, we want to make sure that UAT preview, PR workflow etc. are understood/accounted for in whatever we come up with.

[kelpisland]

Agreed - we don't want to solve a problem by just creating a different problem.

[sheaphillips]

Here is the latest incarnation - the elements in the mid-fidelity mockup, now incorporated into the app.

At the moment, I've removed the additional banner elements, pending discussion around content.

@kelpisland, @paulroberts68, @lmullane : thoughts?

[lmullane]

Looks good, @sheaphillips. Let's find a time to discuss refining content. @ragbay what do you think?

[ragbay]

Overall, I feel this is a lot more simple to understand and navigate for a user.

Minor styling around the size and layout of the work with us button, and possibly adding a little more content just above that given how much space we've saved with this layout.

Curious if there were conversations about the "fat footer" concept that we sketched out, and if that was still in scope?

Thanks, Rommel

[lmullane]

Thanks, @ragbay. There are other elements below the fold that are not showing here. I believe those include a fat footer, albeit a slimmer version than what I presented in the wireframe. @sheaphillips, is that correct?

[sheaphillips]

Fat footer can be in scope, but we will need to figure out the content for it - the fat footer in my earlier mockups just had sample content.

I've removed the other "below the fold" elements for the moment as the content/intent was unclear to me. They can be added back in if we figure those items out. ᐧ

I like the layout - especially the "work with us" banner button.

@lmullane : Not sure about the "win an award" phrase - is that final copy?

[DavidR8]

@kelpisland … @lmullane and I were just discussing the copy… short answer is ‘no, not final copy’ ☺

@kelpisland @DavidR8 yes, we still need to wordsmith. Work With Us wasn't a big winner with the devs. What about 'Code With Us'?

[sheaphillips]

+1 for Code With Us ᐧ
