one-page marketing website

[faassen]

We need some text to put on a simple one-page Morepath marketing website. @blaflamme is offering to help us style it!

Please give some ideas on what we should put on there.

I consider the Flask site a very good example on how to do this right. http://flask.pocoo.org

In any case, a good code example is an absolute must for me. The docs are actually not too bad: http://morepath.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

Though I would probably demote the Europython talk a bit at this point. That was like decades ago ;)

True, that talk was a few centuries ago by now! :)

As discussed on #535, here are a few examples of marketing sites that I've found interesting:

• https://pendulum.eustace.io/, nice and clean design, I like the snippets of code alternating the features.
• https://orator-orm.com/, which looks remarkably like Pendulum's they might be sharing a Bootstrap4 theme, maybe we could explore that possibility.
• http://python-rq.org/ also a good bold design, subheadings get a bit lost in the docs, but I like the colors
• https://falconframework.org/, a bit more verbose, I like the testimonials and the humorous "Unburdening APIs for over 5.31 x 10-2 centuries."
• https://plot.ly/products/dash/, clearly professionally designed, I like the scrollable text areas for longer examples and links to demos

The content of all pages is basically the same:

1. Header and quick snippet of code, we'd want the most compact snippet, ideally showing a "killer feature" up for debate which one that is for Morepath.
2. Bullet points of key features, optionally with code supporting each one, these match nicely with the superpowers section of the docs.
3. Installation instructions, basically a big bold pip install command.
4. Documentation links, some them link to readthedocs, others host the documentation in the same site.

Personally I think the Morepath's docs are quite nice and extensive, we might want to think about hosting them alongside the marketing site. Frankly I'd prefer not to link to readthedocs as it feels more like a cohesive product, but I understand it would mean more work.

And yes, we might want to remove that EuroPython talk 😄
