Rework of the landing page (cert-manager.io)

Open maelvls opened this issue 4 years ago • 4 comments

I wish we could rework a bit our landing page. Currently, our landing page (1) isn't very attractive. I like Linkerd's landing page (2), with a video presenting the project at the very top. Istio's landing page (3) isn't great in my opinion since it does not have any visual cues (diagram or video). The Kubernetes landing page (4) has a video that presents the project, which I think helps newcomers and increases the "interactiveness" of the landing page. Grafana's landing page (5) also has a video that can be played.

A few months ago, Marcel Dempers published a video that presents cert-manager. It would be great if we could add this video to the cert-manager.io landing page. I contacted Marcel, and he is OK with the idea. For example, I really like the way Marcel describes how CRDs are interacting with each other:

I currently do not have the bandwidth to do this "landing page HTML rework". I am hoping someone will take this opportunity and help us with that! 🙏

cc @SgtCoDFish in case you find it useful for the landing page work 😅

https://blog.roastmylandingpage.com/landing-page-roasts/ <- this is the blogpost I mentioned in standup. It's not 100% relevant since we're not trying to sell a product, but there's some useful insights there.

Note: @mattbates just mentioned that we will have a contractor work on the landing page soon.

This is partially addressed by https://github.com/cert-manager/website/pull/618

There might be more stuff to come (including if a contractor is going to do some work!) so I won't close this issue.
