Hello Community,

after the discussion in [this thread](https://forum.operaton.org/t/website-marketing/74), @paul has brought the website mock into an discussable state.

You can have a look at it here:  
[Desktop](https://www.figma.com/proto/AZdxqpIFTWO9IhxJsEeGOE/operaton.org?page-id=0%3A1&node-id=171-10&node-type=canvas&viewport=-546%2C2099%2C0.77&t=YQ2sV0sNHYcb8pdl-1&scaling=scale-down&content-scaling=fixed&starting-point-node-id=115%3A60)  
[Mobile](https://www.figma.com/proto/AZdxqpIFTWO9IhxJsEeGOE/operaton.org?page-id=95%3A3&node-id=171-10&node-type=frame&viewport=-105%2C1607%2C0.71&t=2kcDy5mLUv78rdY1-1&scaling=scale-down&content-scaling=fixed)

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.

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.
