Changing bottom of "new comer" page design #185

Open sdosemagen opened 11 years ago

sdosemagen commented 11 years ago

Liz and I talked about the front page design earlier today and would like to see the bottom part of this image (http://www.flickr.com/photos/recordandremember/8371504243/) replicated on the front page of the Alpha site, rather than the current running research notes. I did a rough mock since the boxes are hard to read in the image. The lower part of the page was developed during WC and incorporated suggestions from people about information they thought was important, but difficult to find. New Comer page bottom

starting with the map and the Staff, Organizers and Board areas? Sounds like a good idea; it'll take some graphics to get there, though. Implementing anything but the map will be pretty easy. The map will be harder, but as long as we inform people very clearly that their profile location data will be used on a map, and give people time to remove it if need be, that can be done too.

It'd be great to pick this up as part of the alpha site thread about the front page.

We have good pages to link to for all of the above (except I'd like to redo organizers). I think that we need to hold on the map until people know that we plan on posting one. Maybe for the time being can we just do the map by state and then get people to say yes or no to zipcode? That was the level of detail that people were thinking right?

I think these boxes can be boxes (possibly with rounded corners) on the final site. So i think the questions are: which colors, what kind of outline, and how big the fot should be. I will mock something up and post in this thread.

I think that if we start now by announcing on all lists that we're going to make a "Community map" based on profile locations, and say that we'll start in 4 weeks, it would be enough warning, especially if we res down to zipcodes only.

We should explicitly warn people that they can/should make their location less specific if they are concerned... and also make it clear that their locations are already public on their profiles -- we're just warning about the extra visibility the map will provide.
