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?

while having a dark design may be “cooler” or something, I think it might deter some newcomers as it would slightly give off a mood that we are doing a shady business here.
also, rimgo.hostux.net is down, but an other imgur frontend can still be used (e.g. imgur.artemislena.eu)

The figma design though cannot be viewed in any private way, though. It’s resistant to archive sites and the tor browser. If anyone could post a simple screenshot that would be appreciated.

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??

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

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?

I would like to KISS getmonero.org

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).

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