Website Redesign

Abraham Raji Mon 18 May 2020 9:47PMPublicSeen by 83

Hey Everyone,

I'd like to volunteer to redesign our website so that we can convey our ideas more easily. I think/believe that the why of our movement should be put front and center, then continue on with what we're trying to do, what we've done and so forth. I think that the website could also act as ablog of sorts where the we can post our statements and members can contribute with blog entries that align with our ideals.

  • If anybody has an objection to this please do mention thus and state your reasoning below in the comments.

  • It would also be great if you guys could fill us with your own feedback regarding our website and the changes that you'd like to see.

  • Everyone is welcome to join this initiative. You can contribute in two ways:

    • Your valuable feedback regarding any aspect of the website which includes but is not limited to the content, ideals presented, tools and technologies used etc.

    • Your skills, if you're a designer or a web developer you contribute using your skills to this initiative.

So basically,

  • If you don't like this, tell me why.

  • If you like this:

    1. Show me your support.

    2. Give me feedback so that we can all be invloved in this process and build a better website.

    3. Comment below if you can help me with your skills.

Do we redesign the website?

Thanks for taking the initiative. I don't think a vote is required unless some one objects to the proposal. Let's do a video/audio call to discuss more.

Yes let's do it. Some day this week itself tomorrow maybe?

I think the website is fine as it is. Perhaps adding a blog has value. But that can be done using a simple static site generator and linked to from the main home page. It doesn't really count as a "redesign" of the entire website.

Meeting Minutes: Wed, 20 May 2020

  • We saw that rearranging the website layout would help us better convey who we are what we wish to do.

  • we discussed why pirates in not a registered political party yet, we need at least 100 members in a state which we do not have right now.

  • Dhanesh suggested as a result of a feedback from a friend that the core aim of the movement must be specified in the main page itself.

  • Dhanesh suggested to move the content of the slide show into the page itself.

  • He also suggested to simplify the language used in the website to make it easier to understand for everyone.

  • Pirate Praveen explained how he began the movement. Praveen saw a few limitations of the Anna Hazare movement and rather than sit simple and complain he decided start an initiative.

  • We decided that as the first step we need to make changes to the content of the website, after which we would start working on the revamp.

  • We decided to continue with Code Ignitor framework for now.

  • A etherpad was started detailing all the proposed changes.

  • Tanzeem who later joined in added that he was quite happy with the look and feel of the current website.

  • It was decided to get more feedback, discuss, fine tune and implement the resulting changes in the content within the next 2 weeks.

Please provide the code of the website, l would also like to join to edit the site. @Abraham Raji though I feel that the present look and feel of the site is appealing, for more changes we can edit the site since things are there that is found outside my sight.
