Monero

I think we need to reach out to a less technical audience. Radicals and more underground communities already know about monero and what it is. But what would convince average Joe who has a slight interest on crypto? What could convince you if you are now a little bit more interested after that nerd friend told you about it?

Fast and low fee should be directly on the homepage, probably replacing something like the emphasis on decentralization.

Key points should be : Privacy, fast, inexpensive and sovereignty, all around the world. And how easy it is for the average user to have that like on hammermann's "discover monero" design.

I prefer hammermanns design. But would like to have a light Design instead of a dark one, with the option to switch to dark mode via (floating) button or by recognizing system settings of browser. (if this could be realized in a privacy focused way) I look at this from the perspective of a businessmen instead of programmer, and the western hemisphere where monero takes place the most recognize dark spaces as something bad or shady as persons before me already mentioned.

Diegos design is a very harsh downgrade compared to the active site. So, i would refuse it.

Make the site look cool:

Monero statistics : network hash rate, tx avg confirmation time etc.

Use sweet matrix green on black font

Wallet download on home page (get monero? get monero now!)

more cool shit, futuristic design, scrolling text

I've been thinking about the website, and my thoughts are as follows: Because of Monero's uncompromising pursuit of privacy for over 10 years, we've already established an ethos of "we don't give a fuck". We're at a point where our branding and tonality is not crucial to the project's success. With this in mind, we should aim to have the most open and friendly "official" website possible, to welcome anyone and everyone to the project. We're already dominant on the darknet, and we don't need to reflect that in our branding.

So, my thoughts are that we should stick with the current sitemap and design of the website. We could make some improvements in terms of text, illustrations, videos, and possibly other elements. However, Why fix something that isn't broken? What are we trying to achieve, and can we not do that by working with the website as it is?

Don't like dark website for something that is eluminating as monero. Also...are we funding Diago so he may expand into property management for his next business or something?

This is the first I've seen of this. We're talking about which redesign before the obvious discussion that we should have, "whether" the site needs a redesign. I'm open to changes if someone can justify them with a requirements change. Let's first discuss current requirements, whether the current site meets those requirements, then decide if we want to change those requirements. From a consumer of the website, the current site meets all the requirements for it's current mission. Thoughts??

I would like to KISS getmonero.org

I like the hammermann concept the most,
it looks more professional then Diego's,
very clean and modern looking :)

No comparison, I like hammermann's the best. The only real criticism is that white text on black "burns my eyes" and is harder to read, so I'd much rather an off white font is used. The offwhite that's under the Monero coin on the side is about the right brightness. The only caution I'd give is that although the Roadmap is cool and both new and old users want to see it, it might be best to keep it off the front page since it's unlikely that it would be updated regularly and it might be easier to maintain on a different page (or offsite, e.g. github).

Consider an Arweave website to stop DDoS without Cloudflare and censorship resistance for Monero binaries, https://simplifiedprivacy.com/arweave/Arweave-QA/index.html

We're talking about the same thing, just the links need to be fixed to work without nginx. We can help for free or limited cost, reach out on matrix
