What to do with the landing page? #43

I have a couple issues with the landing page.

At the moment, it's primarily an additional 'click' with no apparent benefit. The subscribe to our email list isn't helpful either because I've come to the realization in #21 that the feature should be removed altogether. I don't see us emailing anyone unless they have a user account -- in which case we already have their email address.

So the real question is...

Can we make the Landing page useful to a newcomer?

If not, we should probably remove it entirely.

What did we decide on this?

Absent a clear notion of what the Landing page is useful for, it seems the "remove entirely" option is the best solution. However, that is an engineering solution. A marketing type would likely point out that the landing page is Code Club's primary customer-facing resource and therefore indispensable from that perspective. Just because we can't envision its usefulness doesn't mean it should go into the bit bucket. I would put this in a category with logo design: nice to have, we'll need it eventually, but let it ride for now.

I would rather keep it. Just a brief info and some thoughts on what we do + a couple of rolling photos should be enough for the landing page.

At the same time, we also need to remove the about us page from the navbar and the info should be included in the main landing page.

Tell me your ideas and we can combine it.

So to wrap it up! it represents our vision and it indeed is the page where it attracts people.
