Design proposals for website

[viniciusalmeida]

I spent a few minutes to draft out my thoughts about the comunity website based on the @abnersajr's PR which treat the project logo (https://github.com/valleyofdevelopers/valleyofdevelopers.github.io/issues/6):

1. The home page

2. The individual event page

Again. Is it a prototype, I will be glad if @giulianovarriale or @abnersajr provide feedback about that.

NOTE 1: I don't know exactly which logo listed in the PR is the final version, so I just got one of them in order to illustrate the prototype.

NOTE2: my ideas are based in the Jekyll features. I really don't know how to get all of this done with docpad. If possible, I can create that with the Jekyll stack. If is not possible, I can help you guys with the style and JS for the new website.

Two additional points:

• You guys probably noticed that I used a placeholder for an embedded form. I'm suggesting to use Pipefy in order to keep all the papers proposals tracked in an organized system (they provide a free plan for a few pipelines). They also provides this embedable form to be used in some webpage.
• I also suggest to have an exclusive page for each event to focus in relevant info just for the event day. In my prototype I also added a piece of the page for relevant sponsors for the current event. To point clearly which one is paying the coffee-break or which one is providing the location, for instance. I also kept the sponsors slot in the home page in order to show who support us during the time, but with a discrete size because I hope to have a lot of sponsors in this slot 🙂 .

Pretty nice @viniciusalmeida! 👏

I loved it.

I believe that Jekyll stack will be great for us. We could start to do, I am not sure if I'll have enough time to collaborate, but I'll try.

What tool did you use to develop it?

[viniciusalmeida]

Good to know @boniattirodrigo 🙂

Let's made a POC for that. I just don't want to spend too much time on that before to have a clear consensus about this change (I'm talking about the website engine)...

I used the Illustrator to draw that 😊

I really like Jekyll, We started using Docpad here cause it was based on braziljs/conf-boilerplate, only, it's not supposed to be a restriction.

@viniciusalmeida Fell free to start upgrade to Jekyll in a separate branch.

Some thoughts to keep in mind:

1. We need an archive/ directory to store html (generated) only pages, for previous meetups whatever the plataform used. (see #21 and #26 )

2. You guys probably noticed that I used a placeholder for an embedded form. I'm suggesting to use Pipefy in order to keep all the papers proposals tracked in...

   Lets keep it simple. We can change layout/design while moving to Jekyll altogether, but change CFP (to Pipefy of whatever) and embed slides shall be separate issues

3. I also suggest to have an exclusive page for each...

   I like the single page style -- no links or tabs to check meetups content. It's easier to scroll/slide than to click. But this can be discussed.

I loved the layout, however, having a few considerations:

• The original font that was used in the logo is here: https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Fredoka+One
• I will generate this version of the logo with text at right.
• I think that we can also drop a button for C4P at the header in the blank space. It's one more way to get attention to this.
• On footer, can we put some icons of social media, meetup website, facebook page?

Lastly, congratz for everyone involved in this layout and my vote is :+1:. :clap: :clap:

PS: here is a dropbox folder https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2tf5tent8x13zpb/AAA8RK5BeUAwQoThl5uIxhc7a?dl=0 listed previously at #6. To make the logo I used affinity designer.

[abnersajr]

I made this two versions placing the text aside.

Also this two versions with vod inside the polygon.

[paulodiovani]

Do we have any ongoing work on this?

[viniciusalmeida]

Here: https://github.com/ArthurKonrad/valleyofdevelopers.github.io/tree/change/new-layout

It's stopped for now but I think that there isn't too much work to get it done. What do you say @ArthurKonrad?

[paulodiovani]

As I remember, and as @viniciusalmeida said, isn't much work to be done. Will take a look asap. By the way there are some changes at the logo, right?

[viniciusalmeida]

This is totally deprecated. Makes no sense to finish it since we change the event name
