Rationalise/distinguish menus between our sites #432

Closed phillxnet closed 1 year ago

phillxnet commented 1 year ago

On our main website we have:

Main website:

Main-website

Docs site:

Docs-header

Forum site:

Forum-header (discourse theme has limited horizontal space)

Appman site:

Appman-header

Leave as-is: it is already bare-bones as it should be for a focus app. But we do have an anomalous "Home" entry - but this is important to return to landing page - and our top-left icon returns to main website. May want to re-visit re-label some how. But not major for now.

Most recent Web-UI:

Web-UI_header

Main focus of development: so represents current 'form'. And is application specific + Open Collective.

All sites have a relatively common theme but it is proposed that we distinguish between them more clearly. I.e. Appman is specific. Likely wise the forum also: so reduce stuff duplicated from Main Website. Out docs is a little too similar to the main website (menu options wise) - again reduce options to help distinguish it.

Also we should address the potential redundancy of the Docs having a 'Home' entry when

All Places where we use "Main Website" reference instead "Website" - it's enough. All pages are forms of Website but our forum is the Forum website, Main is redundant if it is the over-arching reference/link to them all.

Comparison of Docs cut-down:

Docs-header-cutdown

And fully specialized: Docs-header-cutdown-more

Side channel consensus is we can further use the website only social icons to help distinguish that site from all the others. Ergo latter in above. Plus our docs are lighter as they don't need fontawesome then.
