Homepage design [product design step 2]

[0xjona]

In step 2 we are designing together with @claudiofabbro the UX of the alpha version of the product and the landing page.

Coming after a few weeks of work from now, when we’ll have defined all the components of the ALPHA and what the landing page is about.

We’ll have to collect all the inputs coming from key references (e.g. https://drand.love )

[0xjona]

@irenegia will have to provide the content for the homepage, we’ll start discussing and producing soon (missing issue)

@irenegia here’s a checklist of what the homepage will be about

• Link to lite paper (update this with relative documentation issue)
• link GitHub with readme (updated with Install guide)
• link to news (this could either be https://mirror.xyz or https://medium.com so it’s external for now
• short about (explaining mainly the “metaphor” used)
• team section (how many people are involved? So that we start imaging the relative space needed
• link to launch the MVP/ALPHA (which will open a new tab, with an intro/disclaimer before connecting wallet)

@claudiofabbro @Steve-Rog

Do we have other references?

@irene how do you expect the team section?

Exact questions are:

• How many people?
• name surname, and max 4 word for description is ok?
• no pictures, right?

[irenegia]

name surname, and max 4 word for description is ok?
no pictures, right?

Yep!

numb of persons = us, the team
this! :)

UPDATE FROM WEEKLY CHECK-IN for @claudiofabbro
We should consider to add

• contributors to add in the team section

we expect this to be one bottom line/sentence with a sequence of names, right below team members

• link slack channel to add

we expect this to be slack (+ eventually twitter) logo on the footer bottom right below "news/teams" section

Let's avoid the team page on the website, the spirit is that this is a very simple lightweight composible protocol, not a company/product. We should keep it as lightweight as possible. It's ok to have team page on discord or on github.

ok

The team section is in the footer so it’s not so visible; we can redesign it to look more like an acknowledgment page (plus some notes about cryptonet as a whole) rather than a corporate team page! @claudiofabbro

discussed with Nicola, we only need a "contributors" section

[claudiofabbro]

No problem, I'll fix it

[0xjona]

@irenegia I'm sorry to say that having a "contributors section" (on the website right?) doesn't mean much.
So as long as this indications are on a high level, I'll take care of turning them into specifications
