Website refresh

Development
1

Hi all :wave: I’m Amy, I’ve volunteered to help out on the AMY.BO website refresh. I’m a data scientist with a small bit of experience in UX and a very small bit of web dev experience.

I’ve started this thread to use for feedback throughout the process, which I expect to take a few months (I have limited time each month) - though if anyone else has UX/ web development experience, then it’d be great to work together on this if you’re looking to help out!

To kick off, I’ve created a very rough wireframe using Figma - this is not clickable, as I figured we could iterate that if needed and otherwise just try out in dev - so it’s just some static frames to explore (1) the site map and (2) page layout and format. I’m very much not a designer so feel free to ignore any elements straying into this.

I would love to get feedback on this in general, and in particular on

  • layout
  • branding (e.g. colours, typefaces)
  • site map
  • what belongs on the forum vs these pages
  • pages to prioritise for dev

Thanks in advance & looking forward to collaborating :slight_smile:

github.com/amy-bo/branding now has most of our current work on branding. It would be great to know from the experts what we should add there, so the website and all other collateral can flow from a common source. And with that in mind, if anything there doesn’t make sense from a branding or sustainability perspective - please do let us know.

We’re having a website meeting on Wednesday 19 March 12:15–12:45 BST (UTC+1) everyone’s welcome so let me know your email address if you’d like a calendar invite.

And thanks for kicking this off @Amy - yes, it’s a huge improvement on our current site. And well done @gerrit for adding the first comments in Figma. I’m now struggling to see how I found it difficult…
