The need to professionalize our [operaton.org](http://operaton.org) web presence becomes more relevant, as we grow as a project and community.

The first website iteration was about telling everyone, that we forked Camunda 7 as a community project, the second iteration about getting the content and the message right. The now proposed third iteration is about creating a design that is more appealing to interested technical and non-technical Operaton users, as well as revisiting the content and improving on it.

## The main idea of the new website proposal

- Friendlier: more colors, more appealing design
  - More creative (visual) elements
  - More positive formulated text (e.g. (“_Operaton is the next generation…”_ instead of “_It inherited its source code from the legacy of Camunda”_)

- Adress non-technical users more (aka. information for decison makers) → restructuring of the content (e.g. compare the current feature section with the mockup feature section)
- Add more “Call to actions”, to get people to interact with the page and click around
- Improve the usage of the first screen: most important content up top, everything visible at a glance
- Simplify and new focus with the navigation bar

## Take a look

Words can only say so much: [Take a look at the figma prototype](https://www.figma.com/proto/AZdxqpIFTWO9IhxJsEeGOE/operaton.org?page-id=322%3A7&node-id=335-86&viewport=-557%2C2365%2C0.9&t=xDwT4spS8n04mgrW-1&scaling=scale-down&content-scaling=fixed&starting-point-node-id=335%3A86)

## We want your feedback

@kthoms and I took some time to create a first draft. Some things have to be finalized, but this is the perfect time for some community feedback. What do you think? What do you miss?

Thanks for the credits, but the initiative and work is all your achievement and hard work. I only gave some feedback which you already implemented. I really like the new draft. Would be great to advance here soon.

I really like the design, kudos to you two! Would this be a chance to try and define a color palette which should be assiciated with Operaton?

I think so too. We should get the branding locked in for the 1.0 release.

Another Idea for a color palette:

Thank you for the suggestion.

I stayed away from a (dark) blue hue, to avoid looking like a boring law business.

Would you prefer a blue color in general over the light magenta/cyan from my design?

Yes, the magenta/cyan palette definitely gives me more of a “fancy lifestyle product” vibe. I’m not sure it _has_ to be blue though. Blue feels like the safe, default choice (and I get why you’d call it boring) for a product like Operaton.

</div>

I’m fine with any color palette, as long as they have a consistent theme with colors that suite to each other. I’m no expert here.

Concerning the _style_ I like what Paul created.

Alrighty, how do we want to review the text content of the redesign?

I changed a significant portion and would advice for at least one review.

Would anyone like to contribute? I can provide the rendered site in a zip package, if you don’t want to check it out (it can be run locally with docker)

Is it all in the service-providers branch? I can make a review.

Btw it’s looking like this on my MacBook (with Dark Mode enabled). I guess this is not intended?
