Restyling blog #426

Open ferdi05 opened 2 years ago

ferdi05 commented 2 years ago

A theme appropriate to Ghost 5.0 would help. This will require help from the designer team cc @lpinot

Added link to the newsletter in the header and the footer by slightly customizing the current Ghost theme

I just realized that we now have a footer suggesting other posts...and may not be super great looking.

Yes seems so. I guess this is not super good-looking because we're using an old template that was supposed to work with v3.x of Ghost (and now it's v5.x)

We should add our own searchbar #371

We could ask Meilisearch workers what are the blog designs they love, especially technical blogs.

ferdi05 commented 2 years ago

The theme will have to comply with SEO best practices (as described in Ghost resources) Among them, we need pagination.

Weirdly, I find the article better looking in the back office compared to their published version that I find super dismal.

ferdi05 commented 2 years ago

We need something that helps us update blog posts and feature them without maybe having to change their date. Possibly a Last edited on date ?

ferdi05 commented 2 years ago

Since the July 2022 update, we can add a searchbar. thanks @shermix for the reminder

According to the feedback collected so far, the layout should have:

The brand personality should be shown through custom icons and illustrations

Some of the blogs mentioned also have useful functionalities in the right part of the articles:

Hey @meilisearch/design-team, could you check the above comment and tell us what else you would need to create a design? 🙏

The restyling will wait until we have more news on how we worked with our web agency which is currently working on the landing page and our documentation website. I don't expect this to happen before Q2 2023.
