Front End - Donation Link - Bug Fix #372

Open PamelaJohn opened 5 years ago

PamelaJohn commented 5 years ago

Problem:

Work flow issue exists with regard to potential donations, resulting in seriously delayed response time and missed opportunity to receive donations at peak donation season when people want to contribute to the transition from CarpoolVote.com to the launch of CarpoolAction.org.

User Story:

  1. I am a potential donor who wants to contribute to the volunteer community working on CarpoolVote.com. I navigate through the website looking for a donate button but can't find one.
  2. Finally, at the last line of the landing page, I see the statement directing potential donors to email donations@carpoolvote.com for more information about how to donate.
  3. I email donations@carpoolvote.com and ask how to donate.
  4. Sasjkia receives the email at donations@carpoolvote.com
  5. Sasjkia forwards the donations request email to admin@progcode.org
  6. A ProgCode admin reads the email and composes a response to the potential donor giving them a link to Crowdpac.

Solution

Create a sticky header with a donate button which links to Crowdpac to make it easier for donors to contribute and cuts out the extraneous processes and multiple day delay of forwarding and responding to emails.

Hi , I am beginner. How can I help ?

@AyahRamahi thanks for offering to help us out again 🙂 your previous contribution was a big help 👍 @PamelaJohn you've described the issue really well. Perhaps you can offer some initial steps to work on? Even if that doesn't completely solve this issue, it will get things under way.

Hello everyone! First time contributing to this project. It seems like the steps to fix this would include 2 parts.

  1. Change the link on the landing page to link to crowdpac (easy text fix)
  2. Create a button that could be inserted into other areas and pages that link to the same page. (not too difficult)

If these seem like the right steps to take, I could take up this issue :)
