Website Co-design

  • Email thread: https://lists.inclusivedesign.ca/pipermail/sojustrepairit/2018-June/000120.html

  • Hope to hear from everyone to answer Avtar’s questions

  • So far, focused on:

    • Resources front and centre

    • Mobile version of existing site

      • Currently the title takes up the full screen

      • Participation options/call to action should be presented sooner - on landing page

      • Especially since most students in Fresno have mobile phones but not desktop computers or laptops

    • 3 lines and call to action (CTA)

      • A way for people to sign up/get involved easily

      • About page: would be good to come up with a concise way of expressing the project goals

      • Key text - welcoming environment for youth with learning differences - summarise in 1 or 2 lines, then a “get involved” button

      • Put the longer text separately in an About page, separate from the landing page

      • Moving on from landing page - access to resources

    • Resources section

      • There is a lot there

      • Could we pick a handful of resources to prioritize on the landing page?

        • Presented like cards here, each with a CTA

        • With Link to more resources

      • How to choose these? Could they rotate randomly? Could it be more of a “reveal more” rather than a separate resource page?

      • Could choose one resource related to each partner/resources the partners are currently using? This could tie into Activity page.

        • Want the site to highlight partner’s work

      • Want it to be a place where the partners and youth can share resources, ideas

        • Organise by theme?

      • Landing page of Scratch - shows projects that people are doing with the tool

        • We could do something similar - centred around how people are using the tools/the site/the resources

        • Share the results - not centred on the resources directly

      • How does each individual CTA relate to the resource?

      • What does resource page look like? Not sure yet

    • Use “SJRK” as branding instead of full title?

      • works in other languages/cultures, since letters are understood but the full name is not necessarily

      • Allows for more screen real estate

      • Like the 3rd one - keep important info high up on the screen

      • Tiled version? (SJ/RK)

        • Better to have most real estate as possible - so one line SJRK might be best

        • 2nd one in 2nd line could be possible

        • In Cartagena the youth movements identify with the initials, and it’s better to handle the space in the interface

        • Also like the 2nd one in the 2nd line (box with SJ/RK)

        • Could be fun to play around with the letters in the box as a logo/brand/favicon

    • If everyone is on board with the visuals Avtar can create more polished mockups

    • Next section on mockup to reveal summary text of SJRK project

      • As long as there is a bit of intro at the top

    • Wide screen version -

      • Could we have both SJRK initials as a logo and also show the full title

    • What about the individual versions of site for different partners / different projects?

      • SJRK logo could be more of a placeholder (for other logos etc)

      • e.g . at Karisma - chose different colours for different issues/contexts e.g. education is blue, security is red

      • E.g. the CAT! - could represent Karisma

      • Use colours for theming of the site

  • Visual theme?
