The @finos/zenith-maintainers team are particularly looking for feedback on the following aspects of how we can better report and increase visibility of work within the SIG:

Comments On "About Zenith"

TL;DR

When I first logged on the page I struggled to understand what Zenith Sig even was.

Why? I had to really go back and forth between YouTube, FINOS Homepage, Zenith SIG site, and googling random keywords, to understand what exactly Zenith Sig is/does.

I suggest that upon landing on Zenith Homepage, without scrolling, one has a very clear understanding of what Zenith is/does and how it's related to FINOS.

Detailed Explanation

DEFINING THE PROBLEM

My first-time user experience (FTUE) left me having to dig around the site to understand the relationship between FINOS and Zenith SIG.

HOMEPAGE ADDITION SUGGESTIONS

  1. Have a brief statement on the Zenith Sig Homepage which states exactly what Zenith Sig is/does, and how it's related to FINOS and what FINOS is/does.

  2. Place an "About Zenith" link/tab on the top bar on the homepage which links to a page containing:

Author Update 3-14-24

I can see many of my suggestions may already exist within the "Get Started Tab".

I think there should be a distinction between "About" and "Get Started".

When I first came to the page I did not think to click "Get Started" because I didn't know anything about Zenith yet.

Leading with "Call To Action"

Another idea to draw a first time user in would be to "lead with a call to action"

An example of this would be that one is greeted on the homepage with something like:

"Do you have expertise in these Emerging Tech Areas?" --- List All Areas

"Then you're in the right place!"

"Take a look at what we need your help with right now" ---- List open calls to action

Thanks for the detailed feedback! I'll shoot you a note offline @alagergren to get you access to our web design mural

Somthing that would have helped me when I stumbled upon Zenith is a search functionality to see if my employer is a member of FINOS/LFX? member pages are filled with logos and not searchable.

Somthing that would have helped me when I stumbled upon Zenith is a search functionality to see if my employer is a member of FINOS/LFX? member pages are filled with logos and not searchable.

We did a quick fix for this by adding alt text tags to the logos; we would look into where to add a textual version of the same page. I suppose you are with PayPal, they are not a member - yet.
