New Flowers For Turing Website

[joereddington]

Background

Okay, so the currently flowers for turing website looks a little old and bland:

More to the point, it's also got a selection of typos and bugs, it's hosted on dreamhost, which have fallen out of favour with us, and it's very much not set up for any sort of analytics or use of our new Google Grant.

So, I want a new site that is:

• Hosted on github pages (because I like it, and because we have a reasonably large number of technical donors who would also appreciate it
• Attractively written
• Has a proper, clear, donation funnel, and the ability to know where our donors come from (email, reddit, facebook)
• Has solid paypal intergration so we can take large donations.

Resources

• The current site is: http://www.flowersforturing.equalitytime.co.uk/
• The current github pages version is https://equalitytime.github.io/FlowersForTuring/
• The repo is https://github.com/eQualityTime/FlowersForTuring

TODO

Hivemind! I need you to look at the new Flowers For Turing Website and tell me what you think about it. Some of you care about typos, some alt text, some images, and some css. I want it all.

I'm really excited about this year (I didn't run it last year because of the combination of the Pandemic and Leo's birth) - so excited that I'm belatedly properly embracing actual approaches like 'funnels' and 'a/b testing'.
