Overhaul homepage #135

Closed agjohnson closed 2 years ago

agjohnson commented 2 years ago

This is a big update, unraveling quite a bit of history trying to revamp the content and graphic elements. It replaces the homepage above the fold graphics with easier to maintain graphics in place of third party custom graphics. The only custom graphic is the main hero graphic, used to fill the space a bit more and to tie things together.

Graphic changes are:

Overall, this provides a more polished feel, matches the graphics in the rest of the site without generating more custom glyphs, and added color and detail is nicer than the previous graphics.

Structure changes are:

Content changes dictated a lot of these updates.

Note: this is for historical purposes, so this information isn't just hidden in a commit message. I'm looking to merge this and start up on feedback and iteration on these pages, rather than review what is a very difficult amount of work.

I can't get the RTD build to work, seems there is a bug with build commands and env vars.

@agjohnson Exciting! Should site-community be mostly buildable now?
