Make some improvements in the main website
Hi!
I've been making a quick analysis about the current GIMP website, and as I told in the mail list & IRC, I would like to make a proporsal for it.
Why:
I think that GIMP is one of the most used tools in any linux distro (and ofc in Windows/MacOS when a lot of people can't rely on other alternatives).So the Landing page needs to be a well designed page, but it's also important to show more about GIMP as a product.
Take as refence the website design from similar sofware products:
- Crello
- Pixlr
- Affinity Photo
- Acorn
- Photoshop ( Of course, the alternative to GIMP :P )
All of the landing pages of these products show the key features of the platform, and they make it really visible in the screenshots.
Who:
Of course I know that this is a community project, so anybody will help to do it (that includes myself, but as I read in the mail list, there is a desire to migrate to Hugo... I'm quite away of be an expert in Python).
I think that of course we should follow using python in the server side, but it can be usefull use FE libraries such as Vue or Svelte too (IMHO react and angular are not a real option for this change).
How:
Following a proper planning for make it possible. That implies:
- Discuss in this issue all the requirements for the change
- Create a list of elements to add/remove
- Propose a first wirefrime and the final mockup
- Code :)
Here is some things that I found relevant to change/discuss (image attached)
