Hello everyone,
As many of you know, getmonero.org has been using the same design for quite some time now. While it’s served us well, some community members have mentioned that the current look is starting to feel a bit dated & amateur.
The Monero Website work group is looking for some more community feedback to be discussed at the next meeting (feel free to join!).
Would you prefer to keep the current design, or should we consider refreshing it? We’ve received two alternative concepts by community members Diego and hammermann (linked below) and would love to get your feedback.
Please let us know your thoughts! What do you like about the current site? What would you change? If you prefer one of the new concepts, tell us why. Your input is invaluable as we move forward with making any potential changes.
Looking forward to hearing from everyone!
Links to the concepts:
Thanks in advance! :)
I like the hammermann concept the most,
it looks more professional then Diego’s,
very clean and modern looking :)
No comparison, I like hammermann’s the best. The only real criticism is that white text on black “burns my eyes” and is harder to read, so I’d much rather an off white font is used. The offwhite that’s under the Monero coin on the side is about the right brightness. The only caution I’d give is that although the Roadmap is cool and both new and old users want to see it, it might be best to keep it off the front page since it’s unlikely that it would be updated regularly and it might be easier to maintain on a different page (or offsite, e.g. github).
I would like to KISS getmonero.org
Consider an Arweave website to stop DDoS without Cloudflare and censorship resistance for Monero binaries, https://simplifiedprivacy.com/arweave/Arweave-QA/index.html
We’re talking about the same thing, just the links need to be fixed to work without nginx. We can help for free or limited cost, reach out on matrix
This is the first I’ve seen of this. We’re talking about which redesign before the obvious discussion that we should have, “whether” the site needs a redesign. I’m open to changes if someone can justify them with a requirements change. Let’s first discuss current requirements, whether the current site meets those requirements, then decide if we want to change those requirements. From a consumer of the website, the current site meets all the requirements for it’s current mission. Thoughts??
