According to ChatGPT:

The "About" page on a website serves as a space where the website owner or organization provides information about themselves, their purpose, and their mission. It is typically one of the essential pages on a website as it allows visitors to learn more about the website's identity, history, and values.

We want to talk about our product features, not about ourselves :)

I'd like to move the page to /features/ as well, if we're 👍 on this change.

This also rejiggers our footer to make it a bit cleaner:

Originally, this page started off as "Product", but it wasn't clear enough what the user was supposed to do with the page. That name makes more sense when there are multiple products, and the "Products" link is some sort of dropdown. But a singular "Product" has a very different meaning and it doesn't really work in the same way.

"About" isn't a great fit though, but it seems better than "Product"

Ah, yes, "Features" is a good upgrade :+1: I'd update the page name as well probably

Cool, if you're 👍 I'll rename it and add redirects, and ship it 🎉

Also, the application footer will need updated too, but should be really straight forward. I've used Meld in the past, there are some differences due to Django URL resolving/etc.

Cleaned up based on feedback and added the redirect:
