Banners for Beta testing phase #61

Closed Andrew-Clement closed 7 years ago

Andrew-Clement commented 7 years ago

@colinmccann @agamba Could one of you add a banner to all the dev site pages that reads:

Please try out this beta version of the re-designed the IXmaps website and give us feedback!

On the old site, add a banner to all the pages that reads:

Please try out the beta version of the re-designed the IXmaps website. We welcome your feedback!

These banners should be in the style of the one on the Explore page, which can now be removed.

I have added the banner to the Explore page (not on every single page, but the important ones).

I suggest we rethink using the old styling to add a banner to the pages on the new site - I think it changes the look / feel of the site enough that it will affect testing. Maybe a less obtrusive announcement somewhere? Suggestions?

Andrew-Clement commented 7 years ago

I don't see any banners on the dev site. There needs to be a link on this site to the questionnaire for those who come from the old site.

I don't think the styling is that far out to be a problem in the short term. Ditto for being a little obtrusive.

On the Explore page, drop the location accuracy banner

In preparation for going live on Sunday/Monday, please add a banner to all the dev pages that reads

This should remain in effect after the move to the main server. I'll monitor feedback for a couple weeks.

I agree about the old styling feeling out of place -- I thought a site-wide announcement functionality was going to be added?

Andrew-Clement commented 7 years ago

In the blank area beside the logo is a good place for this message, but I agree the old styling does feel a little out of place.

Picking up the black background square cornered rectangular text areas in various parts of the site, how about this: pastedgraphic-16

The box size, text size, margins and font will likely need to be adjusted.
