ChiPy Homepage Refresh #136

Closed JoeJasinski closed 4 years ago

JoeJasinski commented 8 years ago

I'd like to propose refreshing the design of the homepage to modernize it a bit.

Here is a rough mockup: ChiPy Homepage Mockup.pdf

Example layouts:

Chi Hack Night has a good example:

I see you put some good thought into this. It would be nice to hear what others thing.

jerry-dumblauskas commented 8 years ago

looks great. Can we add an easily discoverable button for the referral program as well?

I like the mockup a lot. With a little logic to hide some areas when empty it will be really great. Is someone good at the the html/css wrangling? I can do it, but I'd be slower than some others.

  • make it more mobile friendly by making it responsive
  • creating a modern long-scrolling sectional page layout
    • could add parallax for some pizazz :-)

  • Integrate sections for:

    • upcoming meeting schedule (should also accommodate SIG announcements)
    - easy to see calendar of upcoming events
- somehow integrate upcoming topics
    • easy to attend a meeting
    • registration workflow (mobile friendly)
    • sponsor list
    • blog or announcement app for posting meeting announcements and general news
    • possibly social feeds / pictures of meetings / etc.
    • links to external resources easily available (meetup / twitter / github / etc)
    • links to common tasks that are easily discoverable
    • link to contact us
    • link to add to mailing list
    • link to donate
    • link to give talk
    • link to host a venue
    • link to more info about SIG
    • more?

@jerry-dumblauskas I like the referral button idea.

@emperorcezar I'm in the same boat regarding html/css, but I don't mind poking around with it.

brianray commented 8 years ago

It would probably help to get a UI/UX person involved. Please note our original design was done at Imaginary Landscape

I've started doing some prototyping on the backend (and some basic frontend work) need to support this. Specifically, I've added models and sections on the homepage for non-main ChiPy meetings (eg SIG meetings).

@here

I've made progress on the ChiPy re-design. I haven't touched the re-skin bit, but I've added much of the functionality for SIG support. I'll make a list of in-depth changes in a future post, but for now, here's the dev site for viewing.

@JoeJasinski Sweeet! I actually just added the ChiPy twitter feed to the homepage (pending pull request merge)

I designed it according to the current design. I do have thoughts on the new "Participate" section if you're open to them!

Also I like you moving the blurb down to the About section. I think in the header, a kickass Mission Statement would be amaaaazing.

emperorcezar commented 7 years ago

@JoeJasinski I'm liking it. What else is there to be done with it?

JoeJasinski commented 7 years ago

@adeolapure I'm glad for any feedback on the participate section.

@emperorcezar I think it's wrapping up, though this is intended to be just a first pass. The SIG detail pages are pretty sparse at the moment, but perhaps we can build those out as we find how how they might be used.
