Hi @serenity! Sorry for my late reply I was disconnected that past week, interesting network retreat about the inner trigger for meaningful change, but that’s not the topic
I really like your proposal, indeed it’s not very clear today as a producer or hub what are the different steps (for example for the hubs, that if you want to be linked to existing producers you have to ask an admin, etc.) So that would be great to have a landing page for entreprises as you suggest). The learn page seems really exciting, I agree with you And would be great to make more user friendly maybe the access to relevant discourse discussions (for example in sharing business models for hubs, etc.)
I’m wondering if 4 entry points will be enough (we have 5 at the moment), I guess that should be (the group page is more used as integrated in another website than searched from the OFN I guess…)
About the drop-down call to action, I agree with you that it can be used to call to donate, and if we want to have a donate section somewhere, we can still use the bottom links or put it somewhere in the “learn” section. Or actually we can use one of the four link on the top right corner (about us / contact / help / FAQ) to place a “donate” link if we want a permanent link.
About the wireframe:
- if I clic on “shop”, I think that would be great to offer the possibility to search in the map and not only browse in the current shop page. It’s more visual also
- I see an interesting opportunity in the “connect” section. I had a discussion with a friend who organizes events, she would like to find a place where she can list what she needs so that producers or groups of producers can answer. There is not yet any platform doing that (at least in France), and it’s a huge job for her to find herself the producers to by directly from them (she wants to by directly to producers). Anyway, I see that could be a future feature that would well fit in “connect”
- In “connect”, on the forum part, I would have imagine to link to the local Discourse forum… is it the idea? I don’t understand the noticeboard thing… The blog part is interesting, as it avoid to have another blog as a side Same for “advice”, I would guess that would be an integration of Discourse…
- Same for the “learn” section, I would like also to be able to link to exiting Discourse discussion, because it enable the content to be managed by the community, so I would see the learn section of a “directory” of relevant and focused discourse posts…
That’s my feedback
Great job! And happy to be part of the testing team on the dev process if needed
Cheers!
