Redesign the website's homepage #106

Closed NathanLovato closed 4 years ago

NathanLovato commented 4 years ago

The website's homepage hasn't been updated in a long time and it doesn't provide a great layout and information for people visiting the website.

I'd like some complete review of the homepage's layout and content, and help to design a good one, with the key info that we should put forward.

We're a free software project, we promote programs like Krita, Blender, or Godot, and we teach game creation with free and open-source tools.

What we do

The people who come to our website

Our visitors come for what we do so:

What we need

To start with, I'd like detailed feedback and a proposal to improve or redesign the homepage's layout. I'd like somebody who's experienced with that to help us design a page that's relevant to what we do. We have a limited budget so when it comes to the website's CSS (built from scss), the proposal shouldn't require a complete rewrite of the website's styles, but rather improve, extend, or reuse the existing stylesheets. That's our main constraint.

The website is built with hugo so code-wise it's mostly HTML with a few go templates. Here's the current homepage's code: https://github.com/GDQuest/website/blob/master/layouts/index.html

Possible redesign

Content-driven page. After the intro header that introduces the website, have two grids:

And then the updates/announcements.

If someone provides a design, I can implement it free of charge.

That's very kind of you! I couldn't find a designer who could do that just yet.
