Desgn a landing page for miraheze main page and also one for donates
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Per talk in #miraheze-staff we want to first design a landing page.

Things to include in the UI include:

  • Pretty UI's. (users are attracted to pretty ui's. So by designing a modern ui we may be able to attract more users). (This includes colour, images and more)
  • Bold text? (optional)
  • Information on what miraheze is. What we stand for and also why pick miraheze.

For the donate landing page we would do the same.

We would want to include a statement saying "why donate to miraheze?" What stuff we will we be using the money for? And other transparent stuff?

(more bullet points can go here).

Though we don't really advertise miraheze.org as a URL to use though. All existing links to us should be meta.miraheze.org and I think we have a 301 redirect too

Yeh, i was meaning on meta.miraheze.org.

So you're redesigning the Main Page essentially? Then this is a on-wiki thing not a phab ticket certainly ;)

Nope because you can't desgn a whole page to look nice on the wiki :).

Ie i am thinking the whole ui,

I'm confused what you are trying to achieve then?

It's been clarified and I don't support it. It's about making meta.miraheze.org redirect to a non-MediaWiki page which will breaks a lot of links by design and workflows and generally be confusing for people. IMHO it will hinder more than it will help.

Please don't untriage task.

This is for donate.miraheze.org too.

This is for donate.miraheze.org too.

That wiki doesn’t exist.

Yep, it's not going to be a wiki. It's going to be a landing page.

So I agree with John that we should keep using the on-wiki main page. @John and others - what are your opinions on donate.miraheze.org?

I've discussed this with @John in a pm, and we have decided on a landing page. I have started building this.
