Idea: Provide more survey context upfront

Open djaddison opened this issue 3 years ago • 4 comments

Some things that would have helped me when engaging with the survey would have been:

  • What is the intention or goals of the survey? (this becomes even more important for new devs, first timers, or people unfamiliar with the css community)
  • What is the impact of the results?
  • Who is reading the results of the survey?
  • Does this information inform the community, standards organizations, developers, tool implementers, etc?

What would the survey look like if there was a "Before you start" page that provided some initial context? Additionally, the content of the FAQ is small, would it be more approachable if it wasn't hidden in an accordion?

Good points! Some of those points are addressed here: https://2021.stateofcss.com/en-US/about

But we could probably at least link to that page.

  • A short paragraph and a link would be plenty. I actually wasn't aware of the page and a lot of the context was important.

The self-funded part surprised me.

I think it would make sense to have a small paragraph, especially the part about implementors using the results to inform next steps is very important and should not be buried in an about page.

  • [ ] Add general About page to State of CSS homepage
  • [ ] Link to it from survey intro page
  • [ ] Also add a short summary of that info to survey intro page
