New theme: Link teams in the profiles. #314

Open StevenDufresne opened 2 weeks ago

StevenDufresne commented 2 weeks ago

We show the teams in the sidebar for each pledge. As a prospective pledge, I would be interested in viewing that team. Can we link those so they bring you to the team description on make?

Replace with links.

What do you think these should link to?

Rather than making each a link (which would be a lot of underlined text), I'm inclined to add a "learn more" style link or button linking to https://make.wordpress.org/. Something like this, which would work for the companies with few teams, too:

But maybe with better text than "View all team opportunities" :)

Agree with @ryelle, I think a single link to Make would keep the layout clean while being appealing. What the label for this could be @thetinyl?

Gooooood question. So I can see a world where we could be very simple and clear and to-the-point with something like: See all contributor teams

Or we can frame it a little differently like: Learn more about contributor teams

ryelle commented 1 week ago

I like "Learn more…", which works since make.w.org has little blurbs about each, and links to the contributor quiz.

thetinyl commented 1 week ago

I like "Learn more…"

Yeah, that's my preference, too. I'm comfortable going with that. We can always adjust if someone feels differently.

fcoveram commented 1 week ago

I also like the "Learn more…" version. Let's go with that 🚀

I don't think we have an interesting place to link them to yet, however, I would expect them to link to their equivalent make blog which includes information about the team in the Welcome box (which won't be collapsed for new users). So for core: https://make.wordpress.org/core.

Regarding adding a link below the teams... I think that is a logical and neat solution and I'm ok with that. I still think we should linking the teams directly everywhere they are referenced. I beleive the team names are clear enough that a user's initial instinct of whether that team makes sense for them is likely correct and they should enter the contributor funnel immediately. I wouldn't want to impede users ability to get started because it would visually be unappealing. I would prefer we rethink the layout/design if that's the case.

I don't feel it's too distracting. Can we try it as an experiment? If no one clicks a team link within 2 weeks, we can revert?

Good point. Regarding a new design, I proposed one in #321 that taps into your suggestion.

+1 to this. We can try it and see how it works.

Does every team have a unique p2? I'm not sure. I still think landing on the Make homepage and getting more details on each team/seeing the contributor quiz would be a better experience than dropping people right onto a P2, even with the welcome box.

How can we get this data to know whether this works? Would we also test out a single "learn more" button to compare?

Not a strong opinion, but I do agree with @ryelle. Most pledge pages won't have all/most of teams listed either, so why not lead a prospective pledge to the full list (i.e. Make homepage) that has every team's mini description.

Okay. Let's go with a link then. 👍
