Replace the 'MONERO' header in the homepage with something more informative #1503

Closed erciccione closed 3 years ago

erciccione commented 3 years ago

As discussed in #1483, the MONERO header inthe homepage is redundant and that valuable space could be used for something with more impact on the visitor.

I think we have three options:

  1. Replace the MONERO header with something else and keep 'A private DigitalCurrency' under it
  2. Remove both headers and replace them with a 2 different headers.
  3. Remove both headers and replaced with 1 single header

What of the three options do you prefer? What headers(s) should we use?

What about:

'Monero - The private, decentralized cryptocurrency that keeps your finances confidential and secure.'

erciccione commented 3 years ago

@dEBRUYNE-1 I guess that's a suggestion for option 3. It's a bit too long in my opinion. Ideally we would have something short and of immediate impact.

"Monero means money"

And I would make the call to action mentioned before something that focuses on getting a wallet. "Joining the community" is fine, but most ppl out there probably don't care about the community, they want to see the technology work. So "Get a wallet" or something.

To clarify, this is what this issue is about:

1

For suggestions about the structure of the top card in general, better #1483.

@Gingeropolous i like Monero means money as the main header, but "A Private Digital Currency" under would be redundant.

Gingeropolous commented 3 years ago

Yeah, I would drop "A Private Digital Currency". Just do a single header I guess if "monero means money" makes the most sense.

Soemthing like this? (it's a very quick mock up, just to give an idea)

I like @SamsungGalaxyPlayer initial suggestion. It’s at least much better than what currently exists.

SamsungGalaxyPlayer commented 3 years ago

The benefit of my original suggestion ("Monero is the recognized global standard for private digital payments") is that it goes on the offense and clearly states Monero's position as a widely used payment standard.

I am okay with the main header being "Monero means money" however, or similar. It's probably better lowercase, but I won't die on that hill (whatever's faster for people to accept).

I also really believe we will need 2 calls to action in the top card also, such as the ones I included in my original draft. "Join the community" is essential imo.

erciccione commented 3 years ago

We have two suggestions on this thread:

@dEBRUYNE-1's: tr

@SamsungGalaxyPlayer's: sgp

Note that the main header can be all uppercase or mixed case depending by what people prefers.

Should we vote? Should we ask on reddit?
