Adding Link to BIDS Merch on Site

[bendhouseart]

Adding a link/button to the main site so that BIDS fans are able to locate and purchase sweet sweet BIDS merchandise.

Draft until I'm happy with alignment and have added a button instead of a link.

From a UI/UX perspective, I am not sure it is clear that the image is a byperlink.

Maybe we should add a button.

Maybe also add a "shop" section to the navbar

[sappelhoff]

to me it's a bit "in your face", potentially undermining the seriousness of our endeavor -- can we make this a little more subtle?

[christinerogers]

lol I see what you mean @sappelhoff

how about instead something more literal and less peppy, but still suggests news:

• "BIDS t-shirts now available" in white text, in a dark grey/black button (with grey border) same width as the tweets column and sitting just above it.

• Move the rest of the text like "profits" etc to the News page item - Whenever you commit one, tag me for review @bendhouseart

Re Remi's comment

Maybe also add a "shop" section to the navbar

Given it's just the t-shirts and stickers, for now I think a Shop navbar button could be overkill. In addition to this landing page item and a News item, add a similar button in Get Involved page

FWIW: No more navbar buttons! Just because we can doesn't mean we should. :-)

Yeah. Reorganize the navbar. Then add more buttons.

I don't mind the in your face: but maybe make the red new star a tad smaller

@bendhouseart finish this

Very austere suggestion, it's been noted.

Still not sure what you're all on about, but I've decreased the size from 300 to 250 square; can bump it down a wee bit more if you like. I will say that once the new-ness wears off I'm happy to get rid of the star and add a static link or or or a little tiny white t-shirt image instead.

Cheers.

I did not realize but now that the twitter column is gone, you have to scroll to down to see the new stuff... I don't have a degree in business and marketing but I feel that the novelty should be at the top, no?

It's a tough balancing act with this crowd, I'll wait until @sappelhoff chimes in before I make those sorts of changes.
