re-implement home page template #336

Open ghwood opened 10 months ago

ghwood commented 10 months ago

the current www.ietf.org home page ought to be reconsidered and updated.

A full specification is yet to be developed, but this would include rethinking the content based on recent information available from analytics about how the site is used, and a refined understanding of what is most important to highlight for key audiences coming to the site.

Hey @ghwood same for this one, could you share specification requirements and a prototype that @mgax can work from? Thanks!

ghwood commented 8 months ago

Will do. Note that this will take some time as we are just starting on the specification.

cdanfon commented 8 months ago

Hi @ghwood thanks for the heads up. For planning purposes, would it be ready on time for Alex to implement - his last day supporting IETF is Tues 19th Dec. If that's not going to be the case we can always look at other tickets in the backlog.

ghwood commented 8 months ago

Got it. We are working on this now and have further detail by the end of the week (1 Dec) so can assess then.

cdanfon commented 7 months ago

Hey @ghwood any news on this? Thanks!

ghwood commented 7 months ago

Yes, will have more detail today (I've run into an issue with our cloud-based toolset).

ghwood commented 7 months ago

As an interim step ahead of a complete rethink of the home page, an incremental update would still be an improvement. A straight-forward update to the home page to streamline and improve it for the vast majority of visitors would be to remove the "Understanding the Internet Engineering Task Force" and "Topics of interest" sections as these sections have very, very little interaction. Screenshots of the desired outcome are attached here and can be found on the design board.

Thanks Greg! We will implement the above change as part of this ticket.

mgax commented 4 months ago

Hi @ghwood, just a quick check-in to see whether you had a chance to clarify what the homepage should look like.

ghwood commented 4 months ago

Hi @mgax We have not gone further than the interim approach already on staging and anticipated for deployment on production in a few weeks.

cdanfon commented 4 months ago

Hey @ghwood this ticket is marked with the label 'contractor'. Is there anything you need Alex to do, or can we consider this not something Alex needs to work on based on your comment? Thanks

ghwood commented 4 months ago

Correct @cdanfon this does not need action at the moment. We'll update the ticket when we have something further to consider.
