Add investors to team page #171

Closed wanderingstan closed 6 years ago

wanderingstan commented 6 years ago

From matt in discord:

now that we have announced our strategic sale we should add our investors to the website not super high priority compared to product design but once we finalize a design it can also be a "good first issue" for someone to implement i want to stress the international nature of our strategic partners because we are trying to build a global community

Current logo is 157x139px. Should we make that a bit more uniform?

200 x 200 sounds good to me.

wanderingstan commented 6 years ago

Agree they should be uniform, and should have at lest equal visual "weight" to the profile pics. But that's an aure decision.

Actually: Now that we have more investors, would we think of breaking this off into it's own page, /investors?

joshfraser commented 6 years ago

@matthewliu will disagree with me, but my preference would be to keep everything on the team page for now since most people don't click around that much. I get that there's a lot of information to squeeze into one page, but we can do a progressive reveal with either a "show more" button (like we currently have on the partners page) or a section with the logos scrolling by.

This is more of a comment for when we do a bigger redesign, but when people come to our landing page, there's a few key pieces of information I'd like folks to get in the first 30 seconds without having to click anywhere:

  1. What Origin is and why we're building it
  2. Experienced team w/ our HQ in SF (seems to carry a lot of weight when we travel)
  3. Backed by top investors
  4. Tons of partners are already committed to building on Origin
  5. Logos from press, etc

Each of these points lend real credibility to our work but unfortunately a lot of people visit our site and miss one or more of these details due to our current organization of this information. We obviously can't show everything all on one page, but we can use progressive reveals to give people a taste and then let them click to see more.

I’m ok with team and investors being on the same page right now. Actually have never been opposed to that.

I do think in a rebranding I want our website to be more pages/have information hierarchy closer to a Stripe (yes I know I am obsessed) vs. typical marketing landing pages. I think we’ve earned that right. Doesn’t mean we can’t have investor and team highlights but I disagree that we should have a giant scrolling page.

Anyways that’s a discussion for later date anyways.

For now, all I’m requesting is that we do something cleaner with investors (and Aure already has some concepts) vs yet another giant logo board (eg partners page).
