Draft of new webpage

Hello Community,

after the discussion in this thread, @paul has brought the website mock into an discussable state.

You can have a look at it here:
Desktop
Mobile

The text of this draft is still work in progress. Updates will follow.

If you like to comment on the design you can either add a comment inside the Figma Mock with the Figma comment function or share your thoughts in this thread.

If you like to view/edit the mocks themselves, @paul can invite you to the Figma file, if you send him your email address (via PN).

Our goals, as stated in the previous thread on the forum, are:

  • Serious representation of Operaton: professional, yet simple
  • Consistent branding
  • Proper explanation of the product: features & roadmap
  • Proper explanation of the legal owning entity & community aspect

Technical Stuff

We propose to use a static site builder like jekyll or hugo.

  • We can manage it as GitHub repository
  • We have no hidden CMS backend
  • Static files are very secure to deploy
  • We still can have a blog
  • We won’t need a plugin eco-system like in WordPress and can add external services, if we want, for example, add a newsletter

@Paul and I would be able to translate the design into the proposed static site builder.

I get HTTP 404 for both links

@kthoms thx for the hint. I hope to fixed it now. Can you test it again, please.

Works now, I will have a look :+1:

The new website already looks much better than the old one. I would propose to replace the old website asap with a MVP of the new website. This would mean to just build the static website first and gradually improve it with a Blog/CMS etc.

Yes, a huge step forward. I’ll try to provide feedback.
